Love KG, he has a couple more years left in him, but it would probably best for the organization if true.

Do we still have to pay? Ugh

I'm under the impression the rest of his contract would come off the books if he retired.

I actually went to high school with him. I'm pretty sure he does something media related for the celtics, but not positive. Personally never listened to a word he said but who knows maybe he got something right for once

Writes for SBNation, for their Boston site (all Boston sports). I think he's their main writer or editor actually.

I may be a super reader between the liner but don't be shocked if Danny told KG tonight that he's gonna trade him.
What makes me say that you say? Well, knowing KG the two comments he made speaks volumes. The first of this being his last all star game. He doesn't strike me as one who would forego the final two years of his contract if he was gonna be here in Boston, but the most cryptic of quotes was the one where he said looking back he should have taken the night off. That's not KG. That sounds like anger. Especially after getting the W for him to make a comment like that just doesn't sound right. This dude will play every night if we had a game every night this week. That quote just doesn't sit well with me. Lastly the final quote..."ya'll don't know what I know." I hope it's not true, but I think he's gone by the deadline.

it seems to me both comments were made in jest.

definitely the 'shoulda taken it off' one...he went on to say he had to be fair and give his all. wanted to.

I don't really care if it's best for the organization - if Kevin Garnett has good years left in him I really don't want to be short changed. It's a pleasure being able to watch this guy play.

KG gets cryptic on us and says it will be his last all-star game and then says he'll treat it like it will be #celtics

I didn't really consider a trade as a possibility, but I agree with you.  Something probably happened that we don't know about.

Why do you have to say this! Now I won't be able to sleep until the deadline! Although kg does have a no trade clause so he has to sign off on it
