KG’s deal has a no-trade clause
According to Mark Deeks, KG’s brand new deal includes the coveted no-trade clause, adding him to a very short list in the NBA that includes Dirk Nowitzki, Kobe Bryant, and Tim Duncan. This shouldn’t come as much of a shock to anyone given how important KG is to this team. Garnett made it clear this offseason he only wants to play for the C’s, and since he returned for well below market value it seems only natural this would be part of the deal. The no-trade clause all but ensures the Big Ticket will retire in green.
There are now three full no-trade clauses in the NBA. Kevin Garnett is the third.

I’m not so sure he signed for “well below market value”.
He’s making apprx 2$ mil more per year than Duncan

R U kidding me? Not only did Ainge pull a boner wasting valuable cap space signing an over the hill Garnett, he can’t even trade him either. And Boston fans think their team can compete for a title. Please!!!
