Boston Celtics and NBA legend Kevin Garnett had an interesting take on the LeBron James to Golden State Warriors trade rumors
It was reported by ESPN prior to last season's trade deadline that the Golden State Warriors contacted the Los Angeles Lakers about the possibility of a LeBron James trade. There were reportedly owner-to-owner discussions about a potential deal, and the Lakers essentially deferred to James himself.
With the NBA's all-time leading scorer not wanting to leave Los Angeles, trade talks did not very far between the Lakers and Warriors. That said, the initial report is still being discussed, as additional information was recently revealed.REPORT: Rich Paul reportedly “implored the Warriors and Lakers to scrap the idea” of trading LeBron James to the Warriors last season, “largely because he wanted to insulate James from potential backlash over switching teams for the 4th time in his career.
"We played with Shaq," Garnett said. "I don’t care what’s going on. Shaq was older, but he was still Shaq. If he didn’t get hurt, we would’ve won. He did enough for us. His presence... It doesn’t even matter, it’s the effect of Bron… If he can still lay the ball up, if he can still be in the layup line, if he can still put the jersey on… It’s always active."O'Neal averaged 9.2 points and 4.8 rebounds in 37 games with Boston.
