both teams benefitted from the deal...boston with pierce and allen clearly wasnt gonna be good enough to win w the kids they had, good enough for playoffs possibly, to win the east or title no chance...now they got themselves a legit big man to power the east and will make the playoffs and battle to come out of the east....in minny, they werent winning with garnett and had spread his name all over so he clearly couldnt return to minny, he had to go....bc of all the hype of trading him they were never gonna get equal value for him but they did get a bunch of young kids to play w the young talent they already got so all in all a good trade for both imo
