NBA matters again
The trade of Kevin Garnett to the Boston Celtics is great for the NBA for two reasons. One, one of their classic franchise is in the news for a good reason, and two, with the Eastern Conference weak, it will make the playoffs more interesting.
It also will drive TV audience. Don't forget it is all about TV and the power of the NBA is in the west. Not a good thing for the league.
Take the Celtics to the Western Conference, who knows if they make the playoffs. In the East, they are right there with the Pistons and Cavs.
This is like the trade of Charles Barkley to the Rockets to team with Olajuwon and Drexler.
KG and Paul Pierce and Ray Allen isn't bad. It might be getting old but it isn't bad.

When it comes to atrocious NBA gms, McHale, Ainge and Ferry are the Holy Trinity. I'd kill to play poker with these guys. I'd never have to work again. How Ainge was able to luck out with this hand makes me think Tim Donaghy is again involved. Only in the worst conference in professional sports history can one trade turn things completely upside-down. I love professional basketball more than anything, but the present NBA is a complete joke.
With that said, McHale is indeed an imbecile of monumental proportions, but Al Jefferson makes Ilgauskas, Gooden and Varejao all look like D-League players. And our guy is pouring tears like a schoolgirl because he couldn't land some hack with a first name of "Luis." Unreal.
