Celtics Get Kevin Garnett, Relevance

Written by Andy Kazeniac (contact - e-mail) -- August 6th, 2007 | Share - Save - E-mail

Did the Celtics become immediate championship contenders when they traded for Kevin Garnett? Did they give up too much young talent to get one player in his 30s? Whether you like the Celtics trade or not, at least it gives them one thing that they haven’t had in a few years: relevance.

The NBA is not usually the hot topic of conversation in early August (and especially not a team that has gone 57-107 over the past two seasons), but the Celtics trade has been the hot topic at the water cooler and everywhere else (at least in this city). Now the question is; Will people still be talking about the Celtics when the NBA Finals role around in June of next year?

   The Celtics gave up a lot to get a very good player who is still in his prime, but you can’t always think about the future when you can work to get a shot now. And like this shows - people are paying attention to them when the only time they did that in the last couple years was to see how many games they would lose.

   KG may be on the wrong side of 30 (along with Ray Allen…and PP is not too far behind) but nobody can deny his passion. Those 3 combined *should* be able to get far in the East where many are saying Lebron did it on his own. Too bad we didn’t get KG in LA. :-(

   Keep up the good work, Andy…it’s always interesting to see these stats!

   KG is one of the best players to touch a basketball court. This was a great move that will allow the Celtics to attract additional talent for years to come. I was sick of hearing about “the future”. The future is not a bunch of young average players. The future is locking in three great talents and letting them clean up in a weak Eastern Conference.

   I just wish they had packaged Doc Rivers in the trade.

   Celtics take the Heat in Six games in the Eastern Conference finals. The Cavs (I mean Lebron) won’t get back to the same level as last year.
