According to one published report, the Brooklyn Nets are interested in bringing Kevin Garnett from Boston to Brooklyn and pair him with Deron Williams. The Nets have made inquires to Boston about Garnett who has a no trade clause in his contract. Billy King, the Nets GM has been interested in acquiring Garnett for sometime. He is looking into seeing what it would take to bring the future Hall of Famer to Brooklyn and what it would take to get Garnett to waive his no trade clause.
A proposed deal that would’ve sent Garnett to the Clippers with Rivers was blocked by the NBA because it’s illegal to package a coach with players. Rivers’ new contract includes a stipulation that the Clippers and Celtics can’t swap players until the end of the 2013-14 season.
So Garnett and his two-year, $24.4 million contract are seemingly on the market. His teammate, Paul Pierce, is probably also on Brooklyn’s radar after being a target for consecutive trade deadline.
But it’s no surprise King inquired about Garnett, a 15-time All-Star and former MVP. The Nets not only desire a reliable starting power forward, they could use a vocal and respected leader. Garnett fits the mold.
