First page is updated, including the team's awards and such. I might write an article about Rookie of the Year, because I feel Towns was robbed. If it happened in real life, with Okafor winning, I think it would be a strange and close outcome. Coaching story coming as well, along with the rest of the playoff results.

Kevin Garnett Announces Retirement
April 29, 2016

Kevin Garnett just finished his 21st season in the National Basketball Association. This past season, Garnett only played 24 games dealing with a nagging back injury that sidelined him for most of the season. Many media members speculated on his future in the league. He put all of that speculation to rest with a short announcement made to the media this past week.

A teary-eyed Garnett held a press conference to announce his retirement. The 15-time All-Star, 2004 Most Valuable Player had some of his best seasons as a pro in Minnesota. His move to Boston made him an NBA Champion. He would end his NBA career where it started, as a member of the Minnesota Timberwolves. One of the most decorated big men in NBA History, Garnett ends his career as one of a handful of players to average 18 points, 10 rebounds, and 3 assists for his career.

Considered one of the best competitors and defensive players of his era, his presence is credited with the best seasons in Minnesota’s franchise history. He owns every major individual franchise record: Points, Minutes, Rebounds, Assists, Steals and Blocks. Coming back to Minnesota did not do much in the way of padding those numbers, but his effect was felt in other ways.

Former Head Coach Sam Mitchell often credited Kevin Garnett as “another coach out there.” His vocal leadership and tough demeanor (especially during practice) has probably helped the likes of Karl-Anthony Towns and Gorgui Dieng. Towns took to Twitter thanking Garnett for everything he had learned from KG.

After Garnett’s statement, he mentioned that he plans on staying with the Timberwolves organization after his retirement. While his role is unknown at this time; it can be assumed that a minority ownership role, front office position or even coaching position would be available to Garnett.

Owner Glen Taylor was on hand to thank the franchise’s best player. Taylor said “He will always have a place with us. We love Kevin, we feel very lucky that he wants to be a part of this organization once his playing career is over.”

Taylor also mentioned #21 will be “off limits” for next season, and Garnett’s number will likely be retired in the near future. Garnett would not speak on the speculation around Paul Pierce’s retirement. Garnett did reflect on his “era,” and was proud that he got to see a new era of superstars take over. He knows guys like Towns and Wiggins have the potential, and he will likely be on-hand to see their development.

Garnett walks away from the game, but not from the Timberwolves. He leaves behind a legacy as one of the best, not just of his “era,” but as one of the best players of all time.

Following. I love a well-written franchise and I've liked what I've seen so far. Very curious to see who you hire as HC, as well as if you decide to change the uniforms at all.

Thank you Sir! I'll have the coach announced soon. I want to write an article on the Draft Lottery first. That should be posted shortly.
