Link:Garnett lives in Malibu, Calif. He has an escape clause in his contract after next season. My guess is he uses it, even with $23 million left for one season, and joins Kobe Bryant and Lamar Odom on the Lakers.
It looks as if the Lakers have a young center find in Andrew Bynum, off the way he has played so far. Garnett will be 32 then and in perfect position to be an ideal supporting piece. The Lakers could give him a long-term contract because their payroll would be shrinking by then. They've had a great start, but you figure they're treading water.
It seems as if Garnett will play out this season in Minnesota, and then they'll face the question of whether to try to trade him and get something or risk losing him after next season. It won't be the first management mishap for the Timberwolves.
