Kevin Garnett is still one of the NBA's top 10 players.
Last year, he averaged 21.8 points and 12.7 rebounds while shooting a
career-best .526 from the field. One of the game's most intense competitors,
he's still capable of carrying this team into the playoffs, but he needs a
little more help than he had a year ago. That help has arrived, potentially, in
the form of two versatile new guards.
Mike James is the team's big free agent prize. After years as a
complementary player on veteran teams, James exploded as a go-to performer on a
young Toronto team in 2005-06.
Garnett, 30, is no stranger to shouldering the load for his
team, but during the summer he indicated that his patience is wearing thin.
