KG reups with Boston for 3 years...

[nbarumorz]

Allen is almost definite to return as well b/c KG is coming back.

Good deal for Garnett, bad deal for Celtics I think. I can understand why they do it though. Although if I was the Celtics I'd perfer a year-by-year contact.

I'm glad he's still around though. I didn't want him to retire yet.

Maybe Garnett should get that blood spinny thingy done for his knees?

Celts have money now to get an oj mayo type player as well.. I think this is a great move... celts are going to be nasty in the paint next season with sullinger and kg. Brutal.

I just hope Sully will contribute right away. His rebounding prowess will be surely needed on this team.

Celtics also made a qualifying offer to Stiemer already.

So Cs roster looks like this now


KG/Stiemer/Melo
Sully/JJJ
PP/Green (still questionable)
Bradley/Moore/Allen (still questionable)
Rondo

I'm hoping that Bass will still re-sign with the Cs.

[Dagouch]

This is a lot.

Are the Celtics thinking maybe he's good for at least 2 years and maybe use the 3rd year as an expiring contract to possibly trade to another team? That's the only way I can seem them doing this? Thoughts?

I don't know how much $$$ they will have left after they re-sign Allen and Jeff Green, but I think they have other needs to address.

Like getting a legit 7-footer that can play right now would be a priority. Chris Kaman comes to mind as a reasonably-priced rental they could go after. So that gives them this as their roster:

PG Rondo
SG Bradley, Allen, Moore
SF Pierce, Green, Joseph
PF Garnett, Sullinger, JaJuan
C Kaman, Fab Melo, Stiemsma

Still think they could use a backup PG before they go after Mayo as well.

[D-Rose]

If they continue to limit his minutes as the deal goes on, they can get the most out of him...but this is like squeezing the very last bit of the toothpaste out, there's not a whole lot left!

[Kevin_Gamble]

We are not talking about some ordinary player. KG's a freak athlete with a great basketball mind, and barring inury he'll be an above-average NBA player for the life of the contract.

[Figlo]

This sucks, why would they even pay him this much!

I wanted to see KG/TD the two greatest power forwards of this era ending their career on the same team

[Kevin_Garnett_5]

Hopefully they can resign Jeff Green next.

Allen is almost definite to return as well b/c KG is coming back.

It will be funny if Allen still go and sign with Heats.......

[dbugz]

Hopefully they can resign Jeff Green next.

Didn't like this kid but his versatility to play 2-4 positions will be a great help for the Cs plus wing players for this year free agency is kinda weak.

[Lakers_Kobe_Fan]

I bet the 3rd is team option...buy just like kobe's ...this is a thank u deal

They will give same deal to ray allen

[PJR]

I don't believe Ainge wants Ray Allen back. He tried to trade him at the deadline, and Boston has shown interest in Mayo, and Jamal Crawford. They want to go younger in the backcourt.

[SilkkTheShocker]

Ray isn't coming back. He wants to win a few more championships before he retires.
