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&rsquo; attempt to lessen the luxury tax hit this team will take next year, with Garnett, Paul Pierce [stats] and Ray Allen scheduled to earn a combined $54.4 million - the highest of any three-player combo in the NBA.</div>

    The Celtics better get to work on finding a bench.

    Supposedly Garnett took a paycut and accepted a 60M, three year extension, which Pierce also received.

    They get a great player but gave up a lot.

    Even if they don't get a bench, barring injuries Boston will win the east.

    Good for the Celtics and they get KG for a great deal at 20 mil per. KG will still be worth 20 mil in three years that is a lock.

    Detroit even with their great depth lost to a superstar. Boston now has 3.</p>
