Good story...I do remember everyone worrying about losing Big Al,also Shira Springer mad the mistake of saying Jefferson wasn't in the deal at first-only to look a little foolish.

But,looking back on how the entire thing took place-we were really witnessing the re-birth of this Great team after 22 years of hope,disappointment,tragedy.

I was one of first persons to reply to that Celtic Nation thread calling the guy a fake and saying there is no way this deal would happen.

Glad it did, though.

how can you see some of the old posts back when kg was traded or some of the old threads when it first happened? i can't seem to find it - can anyone help? i wasn't around then but i would love to see some of the hysteria from a year ago!

Minor correction but...

since we are talking about my 15 minutes of 'fame', Jeff posted MY INFORMATION and he broke the trade before Celticsnation did. (I am pretty sure)

I found out from a totally random insider, actually an accountant who was crunching the numbers for the controller. He texted me and called me in a total panic from inside the office THE SECOND it happened...

Like someone else said, either way I am glad it happened!!

I remeber, I was on the site I Heart KG, when the first rumours came out and Andy Miller (that's KG's agent right?) squashed the rumour, my feelings were squashed too (I am a KG fan btw, so I didn't feel happy KG was still in 'sota).
Then came the second waves of rumour, I remember it was only like a day and a half before the trade happened, that those news just came flooding quite literally, and there was no sign what so ever before that (apart from the earlier rumour in June). Then when I came home from school, turned on my computer straight away caze I knew something was up with the sudden flood of rumours, then there it was on Iheartkg, clear as anyway, KG goes to Boston. And that was pretty much one of the happiest moment of my 18 year life back then, I was jumping up and down, walking up and down the corridor like KG does on the court before game hyped up, then I began texting some of my mates and I was just happy, no better way to put it.

I didn't want the deal done because I didn't want to lose Al Jefferson and I was never that impressed by KG when we played them. I started to change my mind when I heard Sean Grande talk about KG on Mohegan Sun Sports Tonite. He broadcasted T'Wolves games and knew KG better than anyone around here. I was truly convinced when I saw that press conference. The continuing grin on PP's face and the way KG talked made me think good things were going to happen. I then realized we had only about 8 players on the roster that day and only 1 was a truly proven player.
