Phil Jackson: Twolves almost traded KG to Lakers in 2007

YEAH!!!!!

[D.o.s.]

Jefferson's ceiling was his current status.. 3rd best player on a championship team, liability on defense.

Eh, I think that's probably true but misremembering the situation at the time.

would have been interesting because I think Boston still ends up with an excellent team because I think they get Pau Gasol and probably doesn't have to give up Jefferson.

Imagine this team in 07/08 and beyond

PG - Rondo/Cassell/House
SG - Allen/Allen
SF - Pierce/Posey
PF - Gasol/Brown/Davis
C - Jefferson/Perkins

Gasol was clearly not as good as Garnett, but Jefferson probably more than makes up the ground.  I actually think Boston would have won multiple titles with that team, though maybe Marc Gasol still develops on the Lakers like he did in Memphis.  Would have been an interesting scenario for sure.
