Nobody's really saying it, but the blame for the situation the Timberwolves are in lands squarely on the shoulders of Kevin Garnett, his agent, and his monster $126 million contract. With that contract in place, the Wolves cannot get the players they need to help Garnett win a championship. That's why they did that under-the-table deal. So greedy. So dumb. No matter, though. Garnett and his big contract will be gone in a year or so anyway and the Wolves will be right back where they were.
