Dwane Casey wasn't pleased with a story in Friday's New York Daily News that mentioned that New York Knicks President Isiah Thomas, according to "several league sources," is planning to make a run at acquiring Wolves forward Kevin Garnett.

"Whoever it is in the papers talking about trading for our guy, it's as close to tampering as you can get," Casey said. "But you can't prove anything. I'm sure New York can't control it just like we can't control what you guys may talk about. It's not good when you talk about trading our star player, the face of our franchise."
