Kevin Garnett is optimistic about Minnesota's chances to have a successful season.

"I think we have the potential to be very good," Garnett said. "We're clicking at a very early stage, so that's very good. And we're working hard. Those are some of the key components of a strong team, so I feel very good about that.

"It's good to have more talent on the team," Garnett said. "I don't think relaxed is the right word. Having a lot more talent, talent that can take some of the responsibility off of (me), not just scoring but the locker room, etc. But relaxed wouldn't be a good word. Happy, confident, feeling good, bonding, those are the words I would use."
