That's a reality that I don't even want to think about. It's as bad as imagining what life would have been like if we lost WWII

I think it's great the he *chose* not to go to the Lakers.  It sounds like Kobe being a prima donna played a huge part in that.

KG was born to play Celtic ball. We were fortunate to finally "draft" him in 2007.

He restored pride in the franchise IMHO with his intensity and unselfish play.

KG will always bleed Celtic green.

TP! Plus I would love to see a KG reaction to Phil hitting him during a timeout for being soft or having a teammate call out the rest of the team for lack of effort (KG included in that group.

The Nets will finish with the worst record and the Celtics will end up with the 4th pick.

I think ultimately it came down to team vs egos, and like most of us, he couldn't stand the thought of a daily overdose of Kobe attitude. ;)

KG in Boston = a true team player, in a team sport, with a team and fans in a town who demand and  appreciate the concept!

Kelly Dwyer has some serious BS that he couldn't have spiked a trade to the Lakers. No team was going to give up a large package for KG unless he agreed to an extension (voiding his opt out).

The ability to opt out gave him a virtual no trade clause.
