The Minnesota Timberwolves Trade Away Kevin Garnett (2007)

The truth of the matter is that Kevin Garnett never wanted to leave the Minnesota Timberwolves, and the Timberwolves never should’ve wasted away Garnett’s prime in the manner in which they did. But after watching the roster fall apart around the former league MVP, the Timberwolves actually did Garnett a solid by trading him to the Boston Celtics in exchange for Al Jefferson, Ryan Gomes, Sebastian Telfair, Gerald Green, Theo Ratliff, and a couple of first round picks.

Garnett went on to win an NBA Championship and appear in another NBA Finals, while the T’Wolves went 10 straight seasons with a losing record after trading Garnett.
