I Heart KG found this 7/18/2007 on www.startribune.com [flag]
Last month, before the NBA draft and before Timberwolves owner Glen Taylor traveled to China, he had a talk with Kevin Garnett. >We're going to go younger, Taylor told his star, which might make it more difficult to become a title contender. "I thought he might say, 'Well, if you're going younger, I guess I don't want to play here,' " Taylor recalled Tuesday. "But he said, 'I'd be a good ... [link]
