Shaq vies for another ring
The story will be written from here on out. The Shaq trade has implications for both conferences. The fallout can be seen everywhere.

Kevin dreaming of the NBA Championship!
Kevin Garnett toiled with the Timberwolves for a very long time. Since 1995, Kevin had worked and worked to bring a NBA Championship to the city of Minnesota.
Unfortunately the Timberwolves, managed by former University of Minnesota and Boston Celtic star Kevin McHale, could not surround Kevin with enough talent to get the job done.
Kevin McHale had drafted Kevin Garnett right out of high school and from 1995 to 2007 Garnett averaged over 20 points and 11 rebounds.
Finally, with Garnett facing
