I Still Don't Get It

So the blockbuster 3-way trade sending Kevin Garnett to Phoenix, Amare Stoudemire to Atlanta and the #3 and #11 picks in the draft (plus two bums) to Minnesota didn't go through after all. Ah, Steve Kerr came to his senses you say, or Kevin McHale thought better of it. No, apparently it died because ATLANTA DECIDED AGAINST IT!!! That's right, the only team clearly getting a big net gain nixed the deal. Wow. I would love to be an NBA GM.
