Ryan Gomes and two first round picks were included in the deal!...Celtics gave up too much.



Garnett deal finalized

Posted by Mark Murphy at 1:01 pm

A league source just confirmed that the Celtics and Timberwolves have finalized a deal that will bring Kevin Garnett to Boston in exchange for Al Jefferson, Ryan Gomes, Gerald Green, Sebastian Telfair, Theo Ratliff and two first round draft picks.

Garnett is expected to arrive in Boston this afternoon for a physical.
Garnett has agreed to a three-year extension with the Celtics beyond the two remaining on his contract, guaranteeing that he will be a Celtic for the next five years.

One reason for prolonged negotiations was the Celtics’ attempt to lessen the luxury tax hit this team will take next year, with Garnett, Paul Pierce and Ray Allen scheduled to earn a combined $54.4 million - the highest of any three-player combo in the NBA.

This will involve finding a way to lessen the impact of a 15 percent trade kicker in Garnett’s contract.

That's honestly a good offer i'd have accepted too, if i was McHale. Al Jefferson is a beast, Green is a skilled young talent, Gomes is a good player, Telfair is a pretty good PG (i don't really like him, but he's decent) and Ratliff is a great shot blocker) who can intimidate inside. I like this trade.

Boston Cetlics:
PG Rajon Rondo...Gabe Pruitt
SG Ray Allen...Tony Allen
SF Paul Pierce...Leon Powe/Brandon Wallace
PF Kevin Garnett...Glen Davis
C Kendrick Perkins...Brian Scalabrine/Michael Olowokandi



No depth at all!

^^^^ yeah Huge Risk imo coz the BIG 3 will have to play a lot of minutes so there are important injuries risks but if they stay healthy , it's gonna be enough in that weak Conf...  at least Boston fans have sth to cheer about and anticipate the upcoming  season ... unlike us

I'd still take our roster over Boston's...

[Don Jacob]

boston still has time to fill in those gaps though.

McHale can't complain, he got picks and a shitload of young talent. Boston is going to be an interesting team, they must sign a decent PG fast though. Maybe Boykins or Bell or something. Can't wait for Bill Simmons' 2 cents.

Of course you would.

[StevenQBosell]

I wonder how long it'll take for the 3 of them to mesh right?

NIK, you're right the depth is kinda shoddy.

If KG or Allen go down, chemistry could take a dive.

One good thing about this, is now the Bulls vs Celtics matchup shuold be interesting this season

Compare depth...Boston's CURRENT roster is hella sketchy outside the big three..

[Fuck Your Existence]

Am I the only one to think this trade is questionable? Boston gave up  a whole fuckin lot to land KG...As a fan of KG i wanted KG to go to a legitimate contender and Boston is not. Yes i know they have the "big" three now but ill wait to jump on the bandwagon. I agree with NIK outside of KG,Allen,Peirce the roster is suspect. I guess we have to wait and see....
