Garnett is an athletic power forward still searching for his first NBA title after spending his first 12 years in the league with the Timberwolves. "This is probably my best opportunity of winning a (championship) ring," Garnett told reporters. The Celtics will ship to the Timberwolves forwards Al Jefferson, Ryan Gomes, Gerald Green, center Theo Ratliff, guard Sebastian Telfair and two first-round draft picks. At 6-foot-11, 253 pounds, the 31-year-old Garnett is one of only five players in NBA history to amass at least 19,000 points, 10,000 rebounds and 4,000 assists. Garnett, the 2004 league MVP, originally balked at getting traded to Boston, a youthful team that finished with the second-worst record in the NBA last season at 24-58. But he said the Celtics' draft-day acquisition of 32-year-old seven-times All-Star guard Ray Allen helped change his mind.
August 3, 200718 yr comment_8177 I was going to post about this a couple days ago, but I get tired of being the only one making topics, so I didn't get around to it. It's a good move for them, but I personally dislike the Celtics for various reasons.
August 7, 200718 yr Author comment_8225 what kind of various reasons? Did they disrespect Canseco too?
August 8, 200718 yr comment_8232 No, but Paul likes them and is from Mass. so I dislike the Red Sox, Patriots, and Celtics because he likes them.
