both are amazing, but I would say Garnett over Duncan for the following factor: hypothetically trade them straight up for each other, do you think Duncan would do as good as KG does in Minn.? obviously KG would adjust to the Spurs, as that is a great team.
I feel KG has more ability to carry a team on his back than Duncan, which is an important factor in a franchise type player like they both here, dont get me wrong, if i was a GM you wouldn't have to twist my arm to take the big fundamental
it's all about versatilty and KG has the edge (plus TD sometimes cant shoot free throws if his life depended on it)

I rate both players highly, skill-wise.
Duncan seems to be in a bit of a decline at the moment, his numbers are down in many of the statistical categories, whilst Garnett is relatively on par with his averages over the years..

I would still pick duncan over garnett though, from a team perspective. Garnett's attitude and intensity, especially towards teammates can detrimental to any team, and the T-wolves have let go of all-stars because of it. (Gugliotta, Szerbiak).
And without key supporting players, the timberwolves struggle, even with garnett having monster nights.

"And without key supporting players, the timberwolves struggle, even with garnett having monster nights."

Wouldn't that sentence be the same if the Spurs and Duncan's name were substituted.

Garnett was like 20 when Gugliotta left (and I've never heard that was about anything other than money) and Szerbiak was a no defense playing jerk. It's not Garnett's fault that he hasn't the had the good fortune to play for the Spurs (who have surrounded Duncan with fantastic talent.) I'd be frustrated if I was him too (although their entire decline can be blamed almost entirely on one extremely stupid decision on McHale's part.

I'm thinking it's pretty much inevitable that after McHale gets fired that KG gets traded this off-season. Somehow I can see Isiah Thomas involved in some way.

he needs to come back to chicago!

haha yeh im a chicago supporter myself, i would love to see some one of garnett's calibre in there..
they would be a 50-win team easily. they need that inside presence now that curry is gone, cause chandler is way too inconsistent, and his offence is somewhat non-existent these days...
and he'll finally have the supporting players he needs, in hinrich, gordon, nocioni and co.

haha yeh. in previous years he'd actually contribute a little, but this season, he'll pull down 16 boards to go with his 4 points. haha

During my interview with Julia Fox -- She told me she got caught cheating and in order to make it up to her boyfriend, she tattooed his name on her body.

Kevin Garnett's reaction is priceless. pic.twitter.com/151cURAslY
