Marc Stein's Trade Scorecard
Well, I didn't see that coming. A bevy of stars got traded yesterday--and none of them were named Cassell or Sprewell. Both the Timberwolves and the Bulls stood pat when given their last chance of the season to make changes. In the case of the Bulls, I think that's a good choice; the team finally has chemistry and the risk of ruining that isn't worth the possibility of bringing in somebody to make the team a five seed in the East rather than a seven. But what were the Wolves thinking? They have all the tools to win but can't find a way to do it. If ever a trade were needed to alter a team's internal chemistry, this was surely the time.
Poor Kevin Garnett. I watched John Thompson interview him prior to the All Star game last week, and he fell into tears more than once, repeating the words "I'm losing" over and over and making it clear that he continues to give his all to the team he built. Watching him suffer through this terrible season is painful for me.
