It’s time to trade Kevin Garnett.

In the words of Phil Connor from Groundhog Day: “It's gonna be cold, it's gonna be grey, and it's gonna last you for the rest of your life.”

That pretty much sums up the future for the Wolves after getting the 7th pick in last night’s NBA Draft Lottery.

Where do the Wolves go from here? Well…there are lots and lots of rumors all over the internets about where Kevin Garnett could be headed. It’s definitely time to trade the Big Ticket, but does anyone really trust that Kevin McHale can get fair value for him? Is it even possible to actually get fair trade value for him?

If you haven’t paid any attention to the Wolves over the last few years, you aren’t alone. And if you don’t plan to pay attention anytime in the near future, you also aren’t alone. If the Wolves would have gotten the 1st or 2nd pick, it would have been an immediate shot in the arm for the franchise. Even this idiotic front office couldn’t screw up Kevin Durant or Greg Oden. Now that they are picking 7th, it really is time to rebuild.

And that means dumping KG.
