Even if some Wolves fans already are dating again on the rebound
from a relationship of 12 years, don’t expect Garnett to tear up his
snapshots or trash his love letters. "I think the emotional side of the
trade and the team is in his rear-view mirror. But I don’t think
Minnesota ever will be," Miller said. "He still owns property there [in
Orono], he still thinks of that as one of his homes. I don’t think the
fans there are anything he wants to forget. 
"Garnett’s loyalty was always to the franchise and the community," the
agent said. "He had his issues with McHale. But that was like a
marriage that went astray."
 
 
"I think he’s a good, loyal guy and he really didn’t know anything
else, any other NBA cities, or what else was out there. I think he did
feel loyalty to the Minnesota Timberwolves," Ainge said.

The team hasn’t forgotten last season’s trip to face the Timberwolves. Following a 15-point loss in Chicago on Feb. 23, the team’s flight to Minneapolis was delayed for several hours and finally diverted to Duluth, Minn., because of a blizzard.

The team then embarked on a 3 1/2 -hour bus ride to get to their hotel, eventually losing the game, 98-94.
"That was the worst trip ever," said Butler, who was forced to miss the
game because his back stiffened up during the long bus ride. "It
couldn’t have been worse."
