Phew, that was a close one

I was sitting in one of my classes yesterday and the guy in front of me was wearing a new Kobe Bryant jersey and talkin to his buddy about the 81, I wasn't tryin to listen too closely but I did hear him say that one of the sports stores near my place had basketball jerseys on sale. Hmmmm sale you say? So I decided to swing by there on my way home and see if they had the Kevin Garnett jersey I wanted. They only had the white one, and I was looking for the alternate away blue jersey, but damnit I couldn't beat the price, so I got the white one.

Anyway the whole point of this story is that while I was there I was talking with one of the employees and he asked me if I thought Garnett would get traded this season. Well I'd like this jersey to be accurate for a little while at least, but I'm also a Garnett fan before I'm a Timberwolves fan and I want to see him win a championship. I don't know if Minnisota is the place for him to do it anymore (actually I pretty much know it isn't). As long as he doesn't go to a team I hate like the Lakers or Knicks I think I would be okay with it...well I'd learn to be okay with it over time I hope. So then I get home with my new purchase and fire up the computer to mess around with my pools and what headline do I see? "Timberwolves and Celtics make big trade" Fuck. Turns out that Garnett wasn't moved so my panic attack only lasted a couple seconds, and the T-Wolves got Ricky Davis and some scrubs for Wally and some scrubs. We'll see how it works out.
