Both Corey Brewer and Chris Richard talked Friday about how much they are looking forward to playing with Kevin Garnett. Timberwolves coach Randy Wittman is hoping the same thing.
Actually, he's planning on it.
The trade rumors surrounding Garnett swirled right up to the draft Thursday. Then they paused, if only for a moment, then got started again Friday. Perhaps Golden State is in the mix. Maybe Dallas is preparing for a run. Wittman, though, is operating as though Garnett will be in a Wolves uniform come October.
"Right now, I have to as a coach," Wittman said. "That's why I'm going to summer league trying to put these guys in position as if Kevin is on the team, how I would use these guys in accordance to him."

The Minnesota Timberwolves' attempts to trade Kevin Garnett continued Thursday afternoon.
The Wolves have contacted the Charlotte Bobcats to try to help facilitate a deal for Garnett, one day after a potential three-way deal with the Phoenix Suns and the Atlanta Hawks hit a roadblock.
According to sources, the Wolves are asking the Bobcats to give up the No. 8 pick along with an undisclosed player. In the proposed deal, Garnett would go to Phoenix, and the Suns would send Amare Stoudemire to Charlotte. The Bobcats would also be required to take Suns guard Marcus Banks.
The Bobcats have been offering the No. 8 pick to various teams for weeks and have several offers. If they can't get something worked out with Minnesota and Phoenix before the draft, the Bobcats will likely move the pick in another deal, a source said.
However, a source in Phoenix continues to maintain that the team has not had any conversations about trading Stoudemire.
