For some reason, Garnett isn't too eager to come here. I can't imagine why.

Think we can send them Telfair anyway?

Basically one has to ask oneself what would a team with Garnett and Pierce be able to accomplish in the next three years as opposed to the status quo.
Good article by Gerry Callahan in today's Herald. Talking about M.L. Carr and the acquisition of Dominique Wilkiins. After 12 seasons Wilkins was not the same player and the Celtics won three more games then the year before. I tend to think of Dave Cowens who played 10 seasons before surrendering. So you want to trade for the most expensive player in the league who's play is declining and might have two good years left? In addition, your giving up a young soon to be dominant big man, a lottery pick which may be a very good player in two years, and a point guard who most people are highly complimentary (Rondo). Yea, I make that trade, then reminisce of the glorious Rick Pitino days.
Wilkins is like Garnett?
We're trying to compare the acquisition of a 35 year old has been to a 31 year old who has led the league in rebounds 2 staright years while being 1st and 2nd team all NBA?
The Celtics only real option with Garnett publicly dissing them and Marion dissing them as well is to tear it down and trade Pierce before he has no value. In the unlikely event that the young players develop into the foundation of a contender Pierce will no longer be an all star caliber player. You are looking at 5 years before guys like Jefferson hit their prime by which time Pierce will be 35.
He's most likely one more useless offseason (which we are headed for) and a 2 game November losing streak from demanding a trade and when he does his value goes down.
