Kevin Garnett instantly legitimizes the NBA's most storied franchise by adding a feared low post presence to compliment perimeter scoring studs Ray Allen and Paul Pierce. It feels weird knowing that Danny Ainge has made some very shrewd moves to turn the Celtics around in one offseason. Many people criticized the Ray Allen trade from the Celtics perspective because they gave up Jeff Green but i disagree. I think Ainge made the right move. He acquired an unselfish star who wanted to be in Boston and was willing to play second, and now third fiddle in order to make it back to the playoffs. By the time (and if) Jeff Green develops into a go-to player in the L, Paul Pierce would've been past his prime and Big Al might've already moved on.
Ray Allen knew he couldn't win by himself, as did Pierce and Garnett so now that they are teaming together, we will see a dominant three headed monster that has a legitimate chance to make the NBA Finals and hang a 17th banner, point guard or not.
