Nuggets, Timberwolves in trade talks for Kenyon Martin?
The Dirt:
The hot rumor in the NBA is that the Timberwolves are talking to the Denver Nuggets about a trade that would bring forward Kenyon Martin to Minnesota for Marko Jaric and somebody else, maybe Ricky Davis. You wonder who would replace the scoring provided by Davis for the Wolves.
The Spin: By naming Marko Jaric “and somebody else” it becomes painfully obvious that the Nuggets are desparate or close to it to get rid of K-Mart. Ironic that he has turned into somewhat of a Blue Light Special.

That someone else will be Trenton Hassell. Kevin Garnett would move to center if this trade happened and Kenyon Martin would start at PF. If this trade does not happen, the Wolves are looking at a sign and trade deal for Drew Gooden. Kevin Garnett has been in MPLS for the summer putting on muscle and pounds for the switch to center.
