Now what does this mean?
It means they went from being contenders to being the favorites – provided this deal can be pulled off.
The Celtics have been toe to the line the last few season, they just didn’t have enough fire power to put them over the line.
With the addition of Ray Allen at shooting guard due to draft day moves, the steady versatility of Paul Pierce and now the addition of Kevin Garnett from the Minnesota Timberwolves – they are immediately back in the hunt.
Doc Rivers has to be feeling some redemption after losing out on both Greg Odin and Kevin Durant in the draft do the craziness of the lottery.
The Celtics had to do something positive this off season after that draft dibacle – they were fined leading up to the draft and then didn’t get what they wanted. So it was imperative that they worked this deal out with Garnett.
Good for them as their persistence paid off.
