"Kevin McHale gave them Kevin Garnett," cracked Jackson, speaking of McHale when he was VP of basketball operations in Minnesota. "I mean, why not? Geez. That's somebody calling the kettle black."

Ah so, he agrees the Laker trade for Gasol was collusion?
"Name heard today as a possible target for Paul Allen in his hunt for the next Blazers GM: Jerry West"
From Jason Quick, beat writer for Portland.
We can expect to see LaMarcus Aldridge or Brandon Roy traded to the Lakers for a bunch of Laker scrubs as part of a "salary dump" a la Gasol.
phil jackson, a very good coach but runs his mouth like a teenager.....degrading for a coach of his status...."Kevin McHale gave them Kevin Garnett," cracked Jackson, speaking of McHale when he was VP of basketball operations in Minnesota. "I mean, why not? Geez. That's somebody calling the kettle black."

Is Phil slowly turning into Shaq?
Except Shaq's been losing weight. I doubt Phil would've ran on the court for the last second time-out like Doc did last night.
Oh it's on now mother er!
well said
I hate Phil Jackson as much as the next guy, but the OP clearly took this out of context. He's saying the Garnett trade was as much collusion as the Gasol trade, and he's right.
now we have the dumb opinion.
This is BS, Garnett to the celtics for practically nothing, Gasol to the Lakers for practically nothing...Hmmm the nba should instill a rule in that a GM can not trade their players to the GM's former teams. Kevin McHale, Jerry West..lol
last I checked, Al Jefferson wasn't a complete scrub, some soft Euro's fat brother, or the biggest bust in NBA history.
To say Boston got Garnett for "practically nothing" is stupid. The Garnett trade was somewhat lopsided, but nowhere near as ridiculous as the Gasol trade.
KG to Celts was pretty much the definition of collusion. Mchale turns down a superior Laker package and sends KG to his beantown buddy and former team.
Just imagine the negotiations for a second.
Al Jefferson is one of the worst defenders in the league, literally. He was on the worst team in the league when he was traded. Hasn't even won 30 games since trade and still doesn't play defense. His only accomplishments have been tearing his ACL and a DUI.
Still better than Kwame Brown. You lose.
Kwame was salary dump. You lose.
Paying Al Jefferson a 40 million extension would have ensured Boston went nowhere.
The fact that Rondo wasn't in the deal and Telfair (addition by subtraction) was is further proof of the collusion.
At least the Wolves got a proven young big-man prospect in Al Jefferson - plus some lottery picks.
Not a bunch of trash and a mid second round stashed drafted pick who just happened to turn out pretty good.
Cap space = future all-star. Randolph + Gasol and 2 1st rounder >>>>>>>>>>> Jefferson. You lost a long time ago.
It doesn't matter. Mchale turned down the better package from LA. End result = Lakers dynasty. Boston 1 and done.
taking a chance with Zach Randolph and Marc Gasol losing weight doesn't justify the Gasol deal one bit. At the time of the trade Marc Gasol was Pau's fat little brother that nobody wanted. Zach Randolph was a move of desperation that panned out because of dumb luck.
All that financial flexibility and Rudy Gay won't be re-signed
LOL Al Jefferson is >>>>> than anything Memphis got for Gasol. Phil Jackson needs to SHUT THE UP.
Care to share the details of this supposed superior offer?
That would require 21 Palins to stop talking out of his ass. In other words don't hold your breath.
The superior trade was Kwame Brown + Javaris Crittenton + Marc Gasol + late draft picks. LOL 21_Cuckcolds.
