Boston Herald</p> Sources saying Garnett deal is done Posted by Steve Bulpett at 12:06 pm </p> Sources this morning are confirming that the Celtics’ deal for Kevin Garnett is essentially completed. </p> One involved source said the final package will have the Celts sending Al Jefferson, Ryan Gomes, Gerald Green, Sebastian Telfair, Theo Ratliff and a No. 1 pick to Minnesota to acquire Garnett. </p> Further word is that the Celts and Garnett have reached an agreement in principle on a contract extension. You may recall a report here that Danny Ainge would not do the deal without such a guarantee of Garnett’s presence, and it appears now that the perennial All-Star is willing to forego the opt-out in his current deal for next summer and cast his lot with Paul Pierce, Ray Allen and the Celtics.</p>
After the deal gets done, everyone will want to come to play in Boston. </p> What a story it would be, a year after Red dies, the Celtics win it all. </p>
I don't believe this, but here goes:</p> http://www.boston.com/sports/basketball/celtics/extras/celtics_blog/</p> <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'></p> Kevin Garnett soon could become the newest member of the Celtics, multiple league sources said this afternoon, but two of the sources cautioned that any trade may not be as imminent as some early reports indicated.</p> As the trade currently stands, the Celtics would send Gerald Green, Ryan Gomes, Sebastian Telfair, Theo Ratliff, and two first-round picks to the Timberwolves for Garnett.</p> Al Jefferson is not included in the deal at the moment.</div></p> </p> If that's true, it's time to break out the official Robbery via trade pic:</p> </p>
Damn if the celtics would do this trade then they are definitely back in the playoffs for sure!! Their only problem however would be a legit PG, sorry but im not sold on Rondo and some good role players. If this deal does go down that basically means all those years of aquring picks and young players to rebuild have been thrown out the window to win now! But with a combo of Pierce, Allen and Garnett whos to argue?? As a Raptors fan I woud not want this deal to go down.
All that is missing are the AI rumours to resurface and the C's have them selves an all-star team, but that aint happenin'
