Re: Report: Garnett to Celtics Almost Done

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

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?

My biggest concerns were losing Al (but he was the real key to the trade) but more importantly, losing 2 first round draft picks! 2!!!!

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

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.

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

are we watching the same players? while all three of them have potential, none of them are considered a solid NBA player. Boston got a legit NBA all star, for practically nothing. if they wouldn't have thrown in the 2 picks, this would have been the steal of the century. kudos to Danny Ainge( but i still think he is a horses ass)
