The Boston Globe's Adam Himmelsbach wrote an article with some great quotes and insight form both Wyc Grousbeck and Danny Ainge on the famous heist Danny pulled on the Brooklyn Nets. While the trade is now looked at with a perspective of shock at how the Nets could possibly give all that up for a short window bet on Kevin Garnett and Paul Pierce, it was far from being thought of as a given at the time that the trade would work out this well for the Celtics. Certainly not if you were Mikhail Prokhorov.
Quick refresher: KG, Paul, and Jason Terry were sent to Brooklyn.
