Kevin Gahh-net


Not since No-mahh has the city of Boston been able to use their Bostonian accent to mess up a players name. So why dont we hand over the NBA championship trophy to the Celtics now? Or at least the Eastern Confence Championship. In the quest for Ring 17 for the Boston Celtics, they've decided to re-vamp their team, by dealing. After a draft day trade for Ray Allen, the Celtics acquired T-Wolves forward Kevin Garnett, the most rumored player to be traded the last 3 years. In exchange for Garnett, the Twovles recieved "Ryan Gomes, Gerald Green, Al Jefferson, Theo Ratliff, Sebastian Telfair, a 2009 first round draft pick (top three protected) and a return of Minnesota's conditional first round draft pick previously obtained in the Ricky Davis-Wally Szczerbiak trade." So really the Twolves get a bunch of young guys, with Al Jefferson being the only one that is of true value. Gerald Green gives them someone who can dunk, and thats about it, Gomes is decent, and Telfair they wanted to get rid of anyway. But the Celtics now have three players who have all been #1s before, but there is only one ball. Theres always been issues with the three of these guys never being leaders, im probably wrong about this, but none of them have ever led there team to anything great. Garnett was in a bad situation in Minn., all thanks to Kevin Mchale, former Celtic legend. Instead of trying to help his team the last 5 years, since Sam Cassell and the wierd but still talentedLatrell Sprewell. Mchale has not helped the Twolves at all, relying soley on Garnett to dominate a very talented western confrence. So now he is king of Boston once again for possibly saving the franchise and bringing them out of the cellar. While the Eastern Confrence isnt all that good, you still can't forget about the Pistons, Cavs, Bulls, or Heat, who have good players and good chemistry. Or a young team like the Toronto Raptors who could be a breakthrough team this year. The point of the blog is mainly that I think that Mchale has been planning for probably the last 10 years. I think he has been secretly been in cohoots with the Celtics trying to get KG there and remake the Boston franchise. If Boston does win a ring soon, Mr. Mchale will no doubt be recieving a ring in the mail. I'm also very bitter that KG did not wind up with the Bulls. Dam you Jerry Krause for not signing him years ago.
