Report: Garnett to Celtics Almost Done

Ok they are giving up way too much if they keep Gerald Green then I do it.


It really would have been nice if they left Jefferson off too, but that was their main guy anyway to do this trade.
If they kept him though, they could have played KG at center, and Jefferson at PF.
Oh well...at least KG is a massive player...not some Ray Allen type...oops. hehe.

smooty, i disagree. the Celtics gave up alot of bodies, not players. Ryan Gomes is a good young player, but thats it. while i love Theo Ratliff, the man cant play a full 82 game season. the Celtics got a proven scorer and rebounder

Wow, the Celts are loading up for a run. They just might be fun to watch again.

Are the Wolves getting Rajon Rondo? I think he could be key. If the Celtics keep him, they could be ok.

Anyone else feel really old seeing McHale and Ainge being instrumental in a major trade involving the Celtics, but not as players; instead as the guys who orchestrated the deal?

i do. and when i read about Bill Walsh passing, and thinking back to all the great 49er/redskin games. they were all played in the mid to late 80's

Jefferson, Green and Rondo are all more than just bodies.

Jefferson is a a mor than solid starter. Green can be a major contributor ona contender and Rondo has potential. If these three work out then Minny wins this deal. In the end though Boston is not going to win with the team they currently have. While those three are good none of them is a huge difference maker on an under talented team. Garnett/Pierce/Allen is pretty darn good. Now they need to figure out who else can play and not lose games for them. They are giving away most of the ones they already have to get Garnett.

Ok looking at the real deal evens it out in my mind.

Ratliff and Telfair are garbage. One is a contract dump and one is a character dump. Minny taking them is a positive for Boston.

The other three Green, Jefferson and Gomes are decent players, Keeping Rondo is good for Boston. This seems like a pretty even deal to me.

Dude Rondo is not part of the deal and Green is a Dee Brown Jr. We are basically losing Al for KG.

I remember when Ainge played 2nd base for the Blue Jays. Now that makes me feel old.
