Congrats Celtics! (You Bastards)

Kevin McHale gave away Kevin Garnett to the Celtics. Bill Simmons, a Celtics fan, describes this as Kevin McHale's "last great Celtic act".

Jerry West never did anything like this for the Lakers while in Memphis. Elgin Baylor hasn't done anything like this while in Clipperland. Larry Bird hasn't done anything this stupid while at Indiana.

KG would have been great for the Lakers if they could have gotten away with giving up as little as the Celtics did to get him. But, now that's impossible. The Timberwolves still might have some assets they'd be willing to move that could help turn the Lakers from bottom of the playoff bracket to contenders, though (especially if McHale's willing to trade for cash and cap space and not talent).
