Report: Garnett still talking to Cavs, Bucks about consulting role
Dan Hamilton-USA TODAY Sports
While he's primed to make his NBA on TNT debut next week, the front-line basketball bug doesn't appear to have escaped Kevin Garnett completely.
Garnett is still talking to teams such as the Cleveland Cavaliers and Milwaukee Bucks in regards to "coaching consultant" roles in the vein of a roving instructor, according to The Vertical's Adrian Wojnarowski.
It is possible Garnett could accept jobs with more than one team, making periodic stops into town to work with players, league sources say.

After much speculation, TNT effectively announced on Thursday that Garnett would join its NBA broadcasts. The 40-year-old retired from playing on Sept. 23, and soon after, Cavs coach Tyronn Lue was trying to coax him on board as an assistant.
