He actually refused the maximum.

This is from the Sonics game announcers during a time out.

Minni is hoping he'll carry the team to the next level. And he may well do it.

He can be one of several good pieces on a good team. I don't think they have enough pieces to even finish the border........

Can't compare him to KG.

KG wasn't unselfish and wise enough to refuse a max deal in the spirit of not sealing the franchises pocketbook.

Al may not ever carry them to a 'Ship, but they'll be in a better position to make a run than they ever were with Garnett.
