Garnett to Stay in Minnesota?

The Timberwolves are looking into many trade scenarios this summer and it looks like none of them involve Kevin Garnett at this point. Kevin Garnett has said that he wants to remain in Minnesota and with the Wolves not being able to deal him before the draft, it looks likely that he may stay in Minnesota.

The longer the Wolves go without trading Kevin Garnett, the less likely they will be to trade him, especially with teams signing free agents.
