The on-again, off-again deal with the Boston Celtics acquiring Kevin Garnett apparently is back on. According to sources, the current deal on the table has the 6-foot-11 Garnett heading to Boston and the Celtics dealing away Al Jefferson, Theo Ratliff's hefty expiring contract and Rajon Rondo. There may also be other players and draft picks involved. 根據消息，交易內容主軸為 KG <=> Al Jefferson、Ratliff、Rajon Rondo It's not quite done, but three industry sources — including one close to the Celtics — told FOXSports.com that it's extremely close and could become official within the next 48 hours. 有消息來源指出，這交易將在下四十八個小時成真 "It's basically done," one source said. "If it does happen, this will make the Celtics relevant again." 「基本上已經完成了，如果這真的能完成，這將讓塞爾提克再度重返榮耀。」 Celtics boss Danny Ainge attempted to trade for the Minnesota Timberwolves star forward prior to the NBA Draft, but the 31-year-old perennial All-Star had no interest in heading to Boston. However, things may have changed now that Ainge and the Celtics pulled off the draft day deal with Seattle for Ray Allen. There have been numerous discussions during the last week between Ainge and Wolves vice president Kevin McHale, who are good friends dating back to their days playing together on the Celtics. Garnett has the option to get out of his contract — which pays $22 million next season — after the 2008 campaign and become a free agent. He averaged 22.4 points and 12.8 rebounds per game last season — his 12th in the NBA. Garnett is a 10-time NBA All-Star and was the league's MVP in 2004. He is also one of the better defensive players in the NBA. The deal would give Ainge a team that could compete with anyone in the Eastern Conference with the trio of Paul Pierce, Garnett and Allen. The Celtics would also have nearly $60 million in salaries between the three players for next season alone. The Wolves would get one of the league's top young players in the 22-year-old Jefferson, who averaged 16 points and 11 boards in 69 games a year ago, and a second-year point guard in Rondo with plenty of potential. They would also get Ratliff's $11.7 million salary, which will come off the books after this season. -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 61.231.178.66
