Even at 36 years old Kevin Garnett is still a very good player. Yes. He has trouble scoring in the low post against "true" centers who can body him. He's not quite as good a scorer as he once was. His team defense though not as maniacal as it once was is still very, very, good. No. He's not as effective 36-38 minites night in and night out as he once was. The Celtics {if they could} should try to adhere to a strict 28-30 minite regiman now BUT hey. Kevin Garnett is still a very good, very effective NBA big man and I don't see why he can't be next year even at 37 though it might be 24-26 minites a game. Eric Bledsoe? He's a pretty good NBA point guard with the potential to move into the "good" range from the "pretty good" range. Guards are a dime a dozen though boys and girls. Like Toyota Corolla's. I'd want ALOT more than Eric Bledsoe if I were gonna trade Kevin Garnett.
Garnett for Bledsoe? You must be kidding!

-1Did you really need to start a new post to say that? There are multiple ongoing conversations on this topic. Post an idea, not a complaint to a strawman
Its irrelevent now that we've found out that there were no talks between Clipps and Celtics. -

I welcome a post from Walton. No need to be so rude about his thread when there are multiple stupid threads started each day. You may not know Walton, but I will tell you he has more basketball knowledge than quite a few people around here.Welcome back Walton. Hope you post some more.
