Report: Garnett will not waive no-trade unless Pierce is dealt too

Could Kevin Garnett be on the move? Could Kevin Garnett be on the move?

According to Shaun Powell of SportsOnEarth.com, Celtics forward Kevin Garnett would only waive his no-trade clause unless Paul Pierce is dealt as well.

Powell also said that Garnett would only want to go to Los Angeles (presumably to the Clippers), because he has a house in Malibu.

Garnett’s named was mentioned in a trade rumor reported by Sporting News over the weekend in which Caron Butler and Eric Bledsoe would be coming to Boston. The Celtics could be interested in such a deal due to the fact that Butler’s contract ($8 million per/yr) expires after next season and Bledsoe is still considered an up-and-coming talent.

Pierce was nearly traded to the New Jersey Nets at last year’s deadline, according to Yahoo!.
