It’s Official, KG’s A Celtic

Mark Murphy and the Herald are reporting the deal is finalized. Kevin Garnett is a Boston Celtic.

A league source just confirmed that the Celtics and Timberwolves have finalized a deal that will bring Kevin Garnett to Boston in exchange for Al Jefferson, Ryan Gomes, Gerald Green, Sebastian Telfair, Theo Ratliff and two first round draft picks.

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.

I like this trade, now with Paul Pierce, Ray Allen & Kevin Garnett the Boston Celtic’s have a trio of stars that rivals even San Antonio’s big three of Manu Ginobli, Tony Parker & Tim Duncan. The Celtic’s trade away their young players with potential but bring in two allstars and are now in the position to contend for an NBA Championship. For a team that finished with the second worst record in the NBA, and set a franchise high loosing streak, they’ve quickly turned things around and have had one of the most memorable offseasons in franchise history.
