Joe understands team. Basketball is not about having the five best players. It's about having five players that play the best together. It's a puzzle.

Right now with the roster as it exists, they're nowhere near contending. They're not even contending for the playoffs. That's going to be a tough pill to swallow for (Garnett). When you look up and you're now 30, and you don't see the team contending, it's hard. It's going to be a big dilemma for Kevin and those guys in what direction they go in.

I think he does have that potential to be a good enough player on a team that's trying to get to the next level. Even if he is, realistically, he's not going to be there in the next year. It's going to take a couple years for him to develop into that. Garnett, as great as he is, is still going to take a lot of shots on the perimeter. The point guard is even more critical on a team without a dominant post presence.

You don't need a great low-post player to be a top team. But it helps quite a bit.

It means everything. Having grown up in Las Vegas, it gives you a sense of accomplishment and appreciation.

If you're going to trade a guy of that caliber, you're not going to get the same caliber of talent in return.
