RE: Trade Yes, but not for Bosh

Garnett not an impact player? Am I reading this correctly?  

If the Boston Celtics had Kevin Garnett alongside Paul Pierce they would
have been in the NBA Finals and would have given San Antonio a tougher
time than the Nets because KG is the only guy in the league that can
defend Tim Duncan and score on him too. 

KG is one of the top three players in the league.  If Bosh is likened to
Kevin Garnett that's pretty damn good for me.

If we do trade Antoine for a top five pick,
-- and I have to say I hope we do, since his
body will never measure up to his heart --
I really think the guy we should target is Ford,
not Bosh.  So many "Garnett Clones" have turned
out to be non-impact players -- like Garnett himself.
Ford is my guy; he can create scoring opportunities
all over the court, get shots for raw athletes like
Kedrick Brown and Alexsandr Pavlovic (say) and
take pressure off Pierce in a way Antoine can't.
I love to watch him pass and penetrate.  He's a real
point guard, and I want him, not Bosh, in green.
I'm not even sure I would take Bosh over Mike Sweeney,
who is a true beast with pro success written all over him.
