One more time, aquiring Kevin Garnett does not do much to help our low post situation.

Could he have posted up on the low block against the midgets from Golden State? Yes.

Does he post up on the low block against people close to his own size? Very rarely.

As I've already pointed out, he's a high post/elbow offensive player, much like Dirk. Only Dirk is much, much better at it.

If you bring Garnett to play alongside Dirk, then you've got something. Trading Dirk for Garnett simply creates MORE problems for this team.

A distributor like Jason Kidd is what this team needs.
