Seriously, at some point we'll run out of things to say about the Kevin Garnett trade. But via True Hoop, our attention got drawn to Shira Springer's second-by-second recap of The Day Everything in Basketball Changed. Apparently, when Garnett realized he wanted to move on, he consulted with good friends Chauncey Billups and Lue about possible destinations. Boston was looking good because of Paul Pierce and Ray Allen, but there was that nagging thing about the city. According to Lue, that didn't take long to get past:
"Then, KG asked me, 'What about the city?' I said, 'You don't go out anyway, so it doesn't matter. You don't go out of the house. You could play in Alaska.' He's like, 'Yeah, you're right.'"So there you have it. One of the Association's marquee names takes advice from a career back-up, and Boston, players love you as long as they don't have to go out. Word to Pierce on that. Or maybe he's not backing off his weather concerns after all.

I don't know which is worse: Lue giving that advice, or Garnett taking it.

COME ON LUE WHAT A RIDICULOUS ANSWER " YOU DONT GO OUT SO THAT DONT MATTER" HELL IF I WERE A CELEB OR FAMOUS BALL PLAYER AND I HAD TO LIVE IN A CITY FULL OF RACIST PEOPLE I WOULD BE IN THE MOST BADDEST OF MOODS BEATING UP PEOPLE ETC.. BUT IT COULD ALL BE SOMEONES IMPRESSION WE ALL ARE DIFFERENT A COUPLE OF WHITE A-HOLES OR WHATEVER RACE THEY ARE RUIN A CITY'S IMAGE ALOT HAS CHANGED IN BOSTON AND SOME OF THOSE CITYS RICH IN RACISM THIS IS 2007 IM SURE RACISM EXISTS EVERYWHERE AND IT ISNT JUST SECULEDED TO A WHITE AND BLACK ISSUE COULD BE ASIAN OR MEXICAN ETC... IF YOU ARE A PUBLIC FIGURE IF YOU SHOW YOU CARE ABOUT PEOPLE AND GIVING TO CHARITY ETC.. PEOPLE WILL LOVE YOU NO MATTER IF YOU ARE BLACK WHITE MEXICAN ASIAN BUT IF YOU HAPPEN TO BE A RICH CELEB BALL PLAYER AND LETS SAY YOU ARE LIKE KOBE THEN PEOPLE IM SURE WILL HATE YOU AND RAG ON YOU FROM TIME TO TIME CAUSE KOBE IS DEFINATELY KNOWN TO BE A PRIMODONNA AND A BIT SELFISH AS WELL

I wasn't planning on adding a comment, but the idiocy of someone above me convinced me to highlight that note.

yep..having lived in beantown for more than half of my life, i can honestly say for a minority, beantown is indeed "that" type of a city and the fact that big ticket would still accept it is just flat out disappointing..
but what is done is done..they will have a very lethal 3-some..so good luck c-fans..
