Who cares what Kevin Garnett wants?

Kevin Garnett as reported below is not interested in playing for the Boston Celtics.

"The Boston trade isn't happening," Miller (Garnett's agent) told ESPN.com. "If a trade were to happen, that's not a destination that we're interested in pursuing."

BIG DEAL!

What happened to the days where a player would get traded, shut the hell up and just go and play for the team? Now Kobe Bryant has a 'No Trade Clause' in his deal, so that's fine. What about KG though, I don't believe he does, so who is he to say where he plays?I'm not saying I don't like Kevin Garnett or think the isn't a very good player, but I think he should just shut up and go play wherever he is traded and leave it at that. He is not a winner, he has put up great numbers through the years, but point being, he has not helped a team win. Kevin McHale would be nuts not to pull the trigger on the deal he was offered by Boston.

Supposedly it might be 22-year-old forward Al Jefferson, high-flying swingman Gerald Green, Theo Ratliff's expiring contract and the No. 5 pick in the draft.

If I was McHale, the deal would already be done!

Kevin Garnett has one of the most lucrative deals in NBA history, he is the highest paid player in the game. He HASN'T made the playoffs in THREE SEASONS!

Obviously KG is looking out on what's best for him, but who cares! If the team wants to trade you and can better themselves, then shut your mouth, pack your bags and go where they send you. It's a part of the game, they have given you 11 years to get your act together and lead them to the promise land, you have failed them in that sense and they have upheld your contract and paid you ridiculously--so keep it hush and wait for the outcome.
