Could it be true? Kevin Garnett coming to LA? I'm not the only one that has wanted this for a long time and this could just make me happier than Paris Hilton at 12:01AM tonight.

The owners of the Lakers and Minnesota Timberwolves have begun talks for a trade that would involve sending Kevin Garnett to the Lakers, league sources said today.

The talks turned into discussions about a four-way deal among the Lakers, Minnesota, Indiana and Boston, in which the Lakers would have gotten Garnett. However, the deal broke down, reportedly because the Celtics didn't like what they would have gotten, ending the four-way negotiations.

If the wish of many Laker fans becomes a reality then the other question is still up in the air, what of Kobe Bryant? As of late KB's camp still upholds the statement that regardless what moves are made and who comes to LA, he still wants to be traded. Personally I don't know what I'd want. When Kobe first went on his trade tirade/tantrum then came back to earth he said he just wanted to be a Laker and wanted things to be done, I understood what he was saying. Then days later more nonsense of just demanding a trade regardless then why would you want him to still be around? It could possibly be because he's the most talented and prolific scorer this game might have seen? How much can the fans take though, it is my humble opinion (as well as countless others) that KB24 should just stay, make amends and win some championships. What do I know, the whole KG trade could fall through and we could end up with a bunch of 'potential all-stars' and no KB either. Don't let that happen!

I watched a few old videos of Kobe and just got to thinking from his side a little more. He only gets one career, he wants to be the best, he knows he can be the best and I think sometimes that pressure whether it be from himself only can get the best of someone. I understand though, if I had the opportunity to become the greatest player I'm sure it could get to anyone. He's probably looking at his legacy and thinking that he needs to have more than 6 rings, he wants to be the greatest of all time and years into the future the debate will still go on but if he succeeds in winning even more championships then all the trash talk will be for nothing, then there will be people changed into believers.
