Woj: Kevin Garnett will not accept contract buyout, but will consider one trade option

Marc Stein reported on Tuesday night, the eve of the NBA trade deadline, that the Brooklyn Nets and Minnesota Timberwolves were discussing a trade that would send Kevin Garnett back to Minnesota in return for Thaddeus Young. The ball, however, remains in Garnett's court as he has a n-trade clause in his contract.

Another thought, however, was that Garnett might accept a buyout of his contract for the remainder of this season, which would allow him to hit waivers and look to sign with a contender.

Adrian Wojnarowksi, however, is reporting that a buyout is not an option.

Sources: Despite Doc Rivers' strong interest, Brooklyn's Kevin Garnett has ruled out contract buyout. He'll consider the one trade scenario.

Of course it is interesting note there that KG will consider the trade to the Timberwolves, the team that drafted him.

I suppose we'll see at or before Nets' practice today:

Kevin Garnett was at Nets practice yesterday, sweating profusely like normally does. Today's Nets practice occurs during the trade deadline.
