Prime Garnett is a good playoffs performer. if only Sam Cassell was healthy in this series. He only played 3 games against the Lakers.



We could have witness a Healthy Minnesota Wolves v. Detroit Pistons in the 2004 NBA Finals

Sucks that Garnett wasted his prime years in Minny.

Terrible front office. That Joe Smith Fiasco ruined the franchise.

You're all familiar with Joe Smith, the guy with the ordinary name who is capable of doing extraordinary damage to NBA franchises who employ him. If you're still unsure of who I'm talking about, here's another clue: The word most commonly associated with him is "debacle." Actually, you may have thought that was just his name, Joe Smith Debacle, due to the frequency of its use. Joe Smith was the first overall pick of the 1995 Draft, being selected by the Golden State Warriors four slots ahead of Kevin Garnett. After three slightly above -average seasons in Oakland and Philadelphia, Mr. Smith became a free agent and signed a one-year deal with Minnesota for 1.75 million dollars. It is true that Joe Smith hadn't performed up to the level one might expect from the first overall pick in a top-heavy draft, but he was a recent top pick, was still just in his early twenties, had shown flashes of potential, and was a big man. You can get thirty million dollars just for being tall in the NBA. Adonal Foyle just got somewhere in the forty million dollar neighborhood recently and I wonder if he even knows how to play the game of basketball, for crying out loud. At the time, KG, himself, had just gotten 126 million dollars. Joe Smith was at least one-fifth the player Garnett was. That should be worth around twenty-five million dollars, right? The deal that Debacle, excuse me, Smith, had signed with Minnesota was very odd, to say the least. Here was someone who was so highly regarded just a few years earlier, that the team that drafted him passed up guys like Antonio McDyess, Jerry Stackhouse, and Rasheed Wallace to get him, and at the time, it was seen as a good move. So, although it wasn't expected that Joe Smith would get Michael Jordan money, it was conceivable to think he could get Jerome James-type money. So, why is it that he was getting paid as if he were Rick Brunson?

As it turns out, the reason Joe Smith was making Rick Brunson-like dollars was that he and the team had agreed to a "secret" contract that called for him to make the big bucks once Minnesota had secured his "Larry Bird rights," thereby allowing the team to sign him to a contract that exceeded its available salary cap space. Well, of course this also happens to be a major violation of the NBA salary cap. Check that, it is the most egregious violation of the salary cap since the salary cap was instituted and for this, the Minnesota Timberwolves were punished accordingly

KG's Wolves beat the 2004 Pistons twice in their head to head match up. Both were very close games.

2004 Garnett was a beast.

[HoopsNY]

Only took 7 years for him to show up in big games. He consistently underperformed when it mattered for his first 7 seasons in the playoffs and then proceeded to miss the playoffs the next three years because KG could never put a team on his back and takeover games.
