The allen trade made absolutely no sense becasue you had two permiter players who didn't pay defense who did similar things on the team and both played the 2. With Garnett, now you have an until recently MVP caliber player in the post. Now Allen and Pierce can be more complementary with their games meshing around Garnett's game. Also, imagine you are a ring hungry veteran who has his money and can sign for the mid-level exception. Now Boston looks good. Maybe you would be willing to play for half the exception so Boston can get two more veterans and rule the East. If you already had your big payday, playing with KG, Pierce, and Jesus Shuttlesworth would be rather enticing. Okay first you have to look at the roster.

Hotcha! But I think this is the pre-redemption phase of the movie, where Coach Dale doesn't really believe in the team yet. So he's got a very devil-may-care attitude toward people who want to flaunt his program. Who wouldn’t? Hotcha!

That, and he didn't want to ruin his chances with Barbara Hershey.

And GIMME THE BALL! And POSSES! And RESPECT! Ron Artest's gonna make you clean up that drink with your FACE! Part of the reason this is such a big deal is not only because Garnett's a big star, but because his talent alone is enough to make Boston the major contender to take the pathetic Eastern conference title. The conference situation in basketball is so lopsided right now that Lebron James could have led a team made up of the people from Space Jam -- not the characters, but the cartoonists who <i>drew</i> the characters -- and still have managed to win the East this past year. Still, even in silly old basketball, it does take more than one man to win a championship. That's why Garnett's never earned one; he's never had anybody else to play with (aside from Sam Cassell, for a little while). It takes 2 damn good players to even really be a contender for that gaudy NBA trophy, and if you have 3 of them, well, then you're the Spurs and you're gonna be leaving with it anyway!
