According to the report of ESPN, Tyronn Lue didn't expect of Garnett's decision to retire, citing that he wants to see Garnett playing in his 20's, 30's and even at 40's. But as Lue said, he respects Kevin Garnett's decision as he offers Garnett a coaching job.
Tyronn Lue told the ESPN that he already talked to Kevin Garnett about the coaching job offer, it seemed that Kevin Garnett is in a back and forth to agree for a while. Lue even cited the Garnett's wife Brandi, was so excited and she also pushing KG to take the job with the Cavaliers.
Kevin Garnett could a great help for the Cavaliers, mentoring, sharing tips and his knowledge, especially when it comes to defense, we mean hard defense. KG is a winner, and so as the Cleveland Cavalier, with the LeBron James, who became his teammate in the All-Star game for 3 years, it would be easy for them to tag along.
In a recent report by the CBS Sports, Kevin Garnett attended the Los Angeles Clippers' practice and gave some tips to Blake Griffin. A video was posted on Twitter where Blake Griffin is having a low-post lesson from Kevin Garnett. Would this be a sign that KG would become a part of the Clippers' coaching staff?
