There are some moves that would have changed the landscape of the NBA. However, for some reason, they didn’t go through. Recently, Matt Barnes revealed that Kevin Garnett was a target for the Golden State Warriors in 2007. Draymond Green reacted to this and said the Bay would have loved him.
Garnett is one of the best power forwards to play the game. The Hall of Famer was a top player in the league and even won an MVP award with the Timberwolves. However, when it comes to winning championships, he could only win one with the Boston Celtics. If a trade to the Warriors had gone through, the story could have been different.

At least Draymond would be all on board as he reacted to the revelation on Twitter.

Garnett was very well in his prime in 2007. He won the MVP award in 2004 and was hungry for a championship. From 2009 to 2012, the Warriors would draft their championship core of Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson and Draymond Green. While there can be no certainty on what would happen, Garnett would have been welcomed to the Bay without a doubt.

Garnett sat right by the Warriors’ motto of brotherhood and playing hard. He was a player who gave it his all in every game and that would have done wonders for the Warriors team. Moreover, he would act as a mentor for these three future superstars.
However, while the trade didn’t go through, Garnett fulfilled his dream with the Celtics. He joined forces with Paul Pierce and Ray Allen to lead the Celtics to glory in 2008. To this day, Garnett remains to be one of the best at his position and continues to work with NBA players as well.
