Well lets look at this from 2 sides:
1. Kevin Garnett offers frontcourt help that both Luol and Tyrus offer the bulls . Kevin is efficient, Luol and Ty are young and have spotty nights. Hell, he is Kevin Garnett; as he said in his commercial "I get at least 20, 10 and 5 ( points, rebounds and assists, respectively). Who wouldn't want him on their team?
2. Luol and Tyrus are part of the Bull's "Phoenix rising from the ashes" re-emergence in the Eastern conference. John Paxon has built an engine "from the bottom up". Adding Kevin and getting rid of two important parts (Luol and Tyrus) can compromise the engine greatly.
The verdict, you ask? Well it depends on what the Bulls really want. We know that the Bulls can win with Luol and Tyrus; we have absolutely no idea if the Bulls can win with KG. It is tempting to say yes, and on paper, adding KG would be a no-brainer. Remember the LA Lakers fiasco with Shaq, Kobe, Karl " I can't deliver the mail" Malone and an aging Gary " the mitten" Payton? on paper they had a hellacious team. They still lost.
To make a long answer short, Pax should keep Luol and Ty. They are still winning games, have young players that can be built up, and still have room to add someone addition with salary cap, if needed. Not to mention that KG has a salary contract as fat as my mother in law; and she is a biiiiiiig woman.

You can't be serious, if the bulls made that trade that may go down as the dumbest trade in NBA history. Don't get me wrong KG is a force and one of the best in the "L" but he has been in the "L" since '95 that’s 12 years and playing 82 games a season no matter what type of athlete you are it still will wear on your body. Even with KG the Bulls are 3 to 4 years away from being strong contenders yea they will make the playoffs and maybe even advance to the 2nd round but the won't win and KG's clock is ticking there not much left he can't go to a team with a load of young players KG needs to go to a team that is a champion chip team RIGHT NOW he can't way or he will be the next Charles Barkley Great player no rings!

Bad trade. Garnett can still dominate and take over a game but if I were Chicago, the way they have the team set up already, I wouldn't do the trade. They have a bunch of young talent and the team is already contending for the playoffs, imagine what could happen in a few years. Don't get tempted by the win now scenario and build up for the future.
In my opinion they messed up by giving up both Chandler and Curry, they have no inside game at all.

At this stage of Garnett's career? he has at least 3 more good years in him. I think the thought of not winning a championship will lead him to sign with a lower end East team. it's the equivalent to Kurt Angle signing to TNA. You do it because your body can't take the pounding it used to. It would be a smart business decision to trade for Garnett now. But make sure it's a winning situation. Somewhere down the road, a trade for Tim Duncan straight up may make as much sense as the trade to Chicago.

Luol Deng and Tyrus Thomas for Garnett
I would do that trade in an instant.
Luol Deng and Tyrus Thomas are young and talented, but the Bulls are hurting on the tall offensive end.
They signed Ben Wallace for D, and he has no offense. Other than him, they have no superstar tall men.

it would be the perfect trade for chicago. you got kg, who will open easy baskets for big ben, u still got gordon and hinrich, and noiconi, for dang and tryus .yes, i would do it in a heartbeat.
Kg wants a change and wants to battle in the east and minni will do that for him, but expect a first round draft pick to come as well.
for minni to have james and ricky they are just getting older and only have big games cause ppl double team on kg. with deng and thomas some youth is what the wolves need

nope- their extra effective off protecting deng and thomas and trading Chandler- they have entertained can provide concerning PJ Brown, Carlos Boozer, Al Harrington, Marcus Camby and Troy Murphy- the likely one being the PJ Brown and JR Smith change with the Hornets- i like the idea of them getting a PJ Brown or Camby type of participant to praise Wallace...yet Garnett as astounding as he's does no longer be the lacking piece for this crew and isn't any longer properly worth youthful skills like Thomas and Deng- i imagine the biggest flow for them now is attempting to flow one among both Chris Duhon/Ben Gordon for a larger more acceptable 2 protect, both are extra effective sized for the point and with Hinrich onboard they don't desire 3 aspect guards...

Garnett can't be happy where he is. So i would say good trade two up and comers for someone who could dominate the east. Easy trade for the bulls a little tougher for t-wolves fans.
