Nets trade Garnett, get Young-er
Future Hall of Famer Sent to Minnesota in Deadline Deal
Kevin Garnett is leaving Brooklyn for his original NBA home.
The future Hall of Fame power forward was traded to Minnesota just prior to Thursday’s trade deadline in exchange for Thaddeus Young, a player with 12 less years of NBA wear and tear on his body.
Garnett, who arrived Downtown with former Celtics teammates Paul Pierce and Jason Terry in Nets general manager Billy King’s blockbuster 2013 Draft Day deal with Boston, is in his 20th NBA season, the first 12 of which were spent starring for the Timberwolves.
