Back in mid February, Timberwolves fans everywhere heard some pretty exciting news regarding the best player that has ever put on a Wolves uniform.
Flip Saunders had worked out a trade with the Brooklyn Nets to acquire Kevin Garnett, who would return to Minnesota where he played his first 12 NBA seasons. The Wolves sent forward Thaddeus Young to the Nets in the trade.
There’s no doubt that the return of Garnett re-energized a fanbase that didn’t have much to cheer for. I actually wrote a piece for our friends at Sporting Sota before I started writing for DWW on the energy at Target Center during his return, and man it was unbelievable.
