Well lets just say I Love Ainge picking up Garnett! How can anyone who follows Basketaball at all and is a Celtics fan not love having Garnett as part of their team. I just hope that Ainge didnt give away too much young talent in trying to win Now and by doing that possibly blowing our the Celtics chances at winning later on..... Ainge careful what you wish for. As a longtime Celtics fan I just hope it all works out for the best!
