Kevin Garnett headed home to Minnesota after wild NBA trade deadline
Future Hall of Famer Kevin Garnett will likely end his career where it began after the Minnesota Timberwolves on Thursday picked him up from the Brooklyn Nets in exchange for Thaddeus Young. Garnett spent the first 12 years of his career in Minnesota before a 2007 trade sent him to Boston, where he won his only championship.
The move was one of about a dozen transactions that came in a whirlwind of activity ahead of Thursday's 3 pm trade deadline. Among other major shakeups, the Phoenix Suns sent disgruntled guard Goran Dragic to Miami for a pair of first-round picks and spare parts.
