Today in Celtics history: The Kevin Garnett trade!

Today, July 31st, is the tenth anniversary of the trade which brought Kevin Garnett to the Boston Celtics.

The deal, which had been rumored for some time when an early version fo the deal fell through at the 2007 NBA Draft, finally came to fruition on this date in 2007, and netted Garnett's former team - the Minnesota Timberwolves - Al Jefferson, Ryan Gomes, Sebastian Telfair, Theo Ratliff, Gerald Green, cash, Boston's own 2009 first-round pick, and the 2009 first-round pick Minnesota traded to Boston in the 2006 Ricky Davis-Wally Szczerbiak deal.
