31. July 2007 Kevin Garnett landed in Celtic

It is one of the main exchanges in the history of the NBA. For some, it is the real beginning of “Superteto”, before Miami “Three Amigos”. Anyway, it was an event that has redistributed the maps in the league.

He arrived in the 1995 wolves. As soon as he left high school, Kevin Garnett has since accumulated statistical ex-eliminations … and eliminated in the first round of the playoffs.

The arrivals of Cassell and Latrell Spevall allow the team to reach the final conference in 2004, Glen Taylor, in the summer, 2007. years, Vukovi missed the playoffs for the third time.

Kevin Garnett in swing

“I said Kevin:” We’ll need time. “And I think he said,” I want to win “I’m sure I can offer you this as fast as you want.”

Howard Beck found the exchange history (among other things) In an exciting article A few years ago dedicated to Kevin Garnett. The latter has always assured that he never asked to leave the wolves, but Glen Taylor explains that it is less clear than that.

“Now he said,” Glen, I exchanged me. I didn’t mean to exchange me. “But I’m not sure it’s so clear. He sent me messages where he said he said he was in the team.”

The only security is that Minnesota decides to turn the page, and those interested teams hit the door.

Riders are invited to surround LeBron James, but the fight really opposes historical enemies, Lake and Celtici. Los Angeles is looking for a superstar to reform a great exterior / inner duo with Koba Briant, while Boston seeks to revive the environment of Paul Pierce.

“Like Kevin (Mchale, Voulves GM) And I am very close, we often talked about kg over the years Details Danny EInge, Celtics GM. “We thought Paul (Pierce) And he would form an amazing duo. We thought they were getting well. So we talked about the possibilities of sending Paul in Minnesota or that Kg comes to Boston. What would you do best. “

Among the leisurers, Phil Jackson is pushed to return the “big map” and connects him to Kobe Briant.

Los Angeles offers Lamar Odom and Andrew Binum

Los Angeles offers Lamar Odom and young Andrew binum in the wolves. The casual temper is first afraid of a little Glen Taylor, who is on the other side, loves another. But Kevin Mchale doesn’t look convincing.

“Dr. Buses saw me and I told me,” I have an oral deal with Taylor, Kevin Garnett will come to Los Angeles, but McHale has not yet approved. Continue Phil Jackson.

The problem is that Kevin Mchale loves Al Jefferson, a young turn extremely talented at low post, like him.

Boston adds some other players (Ryan Gomes, Gerald Green, Theo Ratliff, Sebastian Telfair), two drafts in the first round, and the case was concluded between GM D DES Volves and his friend in Boston.

“It is obvious that it is always easier to figure out with someone you know” He regrets Phil Jackson. “The main thing was that they wanted to keep it away from the conference (west), in the East, as possible, so as not to face it four times a year. It makes sense, it makes sense, it’s understandable.”

But according to Glen Taylor, it really was when Celtici got his hands on Ray Allen that Kevin Garnett accepted exchange. Even if the owner recognizes that it is not as clear as it.

“We talked to Boston, I got Kevin, I was presented,” I didn’t want to be exchanged. “He was still there, still there, still, they were still there. I think it said” okay “.
