Boston would be instant contenders and could mean Raps dont repeat as Atlantic division champs.

Quite Frankly

Yeah, this is like the 3rd KG thread I have seen posted, nothing new here.

Why would they trade AJ when KG can opt out after the season ends?

Anyways, a Garnett-Pierce-Allen threesome, even without a point guard, would make the AD pretty tough for the next couple of years.

Good deal for both sides...but I like it for Minny bc. they get 2 very good young players that greatly increase their future talent, while Boston gets 2-3 years max of possible 2nd or 3rd round playoff exits.

KG, Pierce, Ray and 5 guys named "Who" does not make them a contending team. They're all over 30, will account for 60 million by the time KG gets his 5 year extension.

Don't get all caught up in the names. Better, but not contending.

Damn, if this deal goes through Boston is looking ultra thin in the depth department.

One big injury to any of those three and the team could be in the lottery again.

Um, he has to agree to an extension before it goes through. They wouldn't do it otherwise.

Maybe we can dump Juan Dixon on them

The Lakers won with Shaq and Kobe and 5 guys named "Who"
Allen, Pierce and Garnett can win you a championship, as long as the other guy step up and just don't screw up.
I'd be mostly concerned about touches and chemistry.

Um, ok, that makes more sense, then.

I wonder if this trade would prompt New Jersey to deal Jefferson and Krstic for O'Neal?

A few weeks from now the AD could have four playoff teams out of five.

butr

Robert Horry and Ron Harper have won championships as key role players on multiple teams, including that team.

They also had better role players in Derek Fisher, Rick Fox and for a time, Glenn Rice.

Brian Scalabrine & Kendrick Perkins & Rondo don't qualify.

if ainge got this deal done i'd be impressed. they'd be mortgaging the future for the now but they've been doing that anyway. might as well go all the way. no point in sitting on the fence.

garnett's legacy, meanwhile, would be at stake immediately. he's had more than enough apologists to excuse him from the mediocrity achieved in minnesota, and he would have no choice but to accept his results (good or bad) if he found himself in boston playing alongside pierce and allen.

i don't believe this rumour, though. i think it's (again) much ado about nothing, but i guess we'll see.

peace
