Before discussing the new draft candidates, there’s been some talk about Kevin Garnett to discuss. Glen Taylor, owner of the Timberwolves, say the team doesn’t plan on trading their star, and that it isn’t even a possibilty that he’ll be moved this offseason.

The discussion comes at the same time as an article comes out saying the Chicago Bulls need to go after an all-star, possibly Garnett or Paul Pierce.

Speaking of Pierce, he said that is personally enjoying the soap opera that has been taking place in New York with the Knicks turmoil. “It’s one of the daily soap operas I check out. I think it’s good for the NBA. You need something like this to keep people into it.” That probably isn’t the answer NBA commissioner David Stern would have given.

Tyler Hansbrough will stick with the North Carolina Tar Heels for at least another year. Meanwhile, Guillermo Diaz of Miami and Marcus Slaughter from SDSU will be entering the draft this summer.
