Armed with coach Flip Suanders and the NBA?s most valuable player, Kevin Garnett, the Timberwolves will spend this week trying to persuade Karl Malone to spend his 20th season in Minnesota.

Kevin Garnett must convince the Mailman that his best chance of getting that elusive championship ring is with him in Minnesota.

And to do so, Garnett will have to convince Malone that he has a better chance at winning it all than he would playing next to Tim Duncan in San Antonio.  The Spurs are considered to be the Timberwolves' biggest competition for the aging power forward.
