Surprise? Happiness? Finally getting away from McHale probably means a little of both for KG.

Kevin Garnett has played his last game in a Timberwolves uniform. Even if the current rumored deal to the Celtics doesn't happen, you can't expect him to be happy here anymore with all the trade talk centered on him. Kevin McHale proves again that he's an idiot. You just don't float trade speculation around about your star player without paying the consequences. This is the second Boston rumor in the last 45 days. Even if this deal somehow falls apart, KG is gone before the season starts.

If this current deal happens, the Wolves would send KG (and probably another player or two) to Boston in exchange for Al Jefferson, Ryan Gomes, Gerald Green, Sebastian Telfair, Theo Ratliff and a No. 1 pick.

Fine, do it already and start rebuilding. It's going to make everyone much happier, especially The Big Ticket. He won't have to hear trade rumors anymore, he might win a title, and we can stop paying attention to the Wolves for the next 3-4 years. Oh wait, we already stopped paying attention.

Sounds like a good compromise -- go do your thing Kevin McHale.
