Celtics, Wolves discuss Garnett

[IE]

Celtics director of basketball operations Danny Ainge acknowledged yesterday that he has talked with the Minnesota Timberwolves about a potential trade for Kevin Garnett.
However, Ainge refused to comment about a published report that had the Celts shipping Al Jefferson , Gerald Green, Sebastian Telfair , Theo Ratliff and the fifth pick in next week?s NBA draft for the All-Star forward.
A league source confirmed the teams have talked but are not close to a deal.
Ainge added that based on conversations and calls from other teams, he has not heard a proposal that would make him part with the No. 5 pick.
?A lot of people attempt to make trades for that pick that are one-sided,? he said. ?So there?s nothing going on for the pick yet.?

I like to see him get away from Mchale. Sometimes these players are not the greatest people to be doing the talent evaluations. You have the greatest player of my time Jordan grabbing Kwame with the first overall pick and then trading Hamilton for Stackhouse:scared . Then who knows what the hell Mchale is doing. How Mchale still has his job makes a guy shake his head. Still like what Houston did getting a nice little point guard for that stiff J Howard.
