Everything you need to know for 2006, and some things you don't.
Adonal Foyle, Center, GS
Ricky Davis, Guard-Forward, Min
Al Jefferson, Forward-Center, Bos
Kevin Garnett, Forward, Min
What happened: Adonal Foyle and the Warriors have reached an agreement to a contract buyout. This will nullify his remaining three years on his contract and will make him a free agent on August 21st, 2007 when he clears waivers.
What it means: A great player of character and integrity does not translate to much in fantasy hoops. It is unlikely that any team will claim him off waivers before the deadline and neither should your fantasy team when you draft within a few months.
Ricky Davis, Guard-Forward, Min
What happened: The Minnesota Timberwolves announced Tuesday the team has acquired forwards Al Jefferson, Gerald Green and Ryan Gomes, guard Sebastian Telfair and center Theo Ratliff, along with two first-round draft picks and cash considerations from the Boston Celtics in exchange for forward Kevin Garnett.
What it means: Ricky Davis becomes the go-to-guy at least from the perimeter for Minnesota Timberwolves and if you are wondering what Davis can do in this role, look no further than to his days as a Cleveland Cavalier. In 2002-03 season Davis averaged 20.6 points, 5.5 assists, 4.9 rebounds and 1.6 steals playing 39.6 minutes per game for the Cavs. Expect similar numbers this season.
Al Jefferson, Forward-Center, Bos
What happened: The Minnesota Timberwolves announced Tuesday the team has acquired forwards Al Jefferson, Gerald Green and Ryan Gomes, guard Sebastian Telfair and center Theo Ratliff, along with two first-round draft picks and cash considerations from the Boston Celtics in exchange for forward Kevin Garnett.
What it means: Jefferson, the 15th overall pick by the Celtics in the 2004 NBA Draft, averaged a double-double with 16.0 ppg (.514 FG%) and 11.0 rpg in 33.6 mpg in 69 games (60 starts) last season. Jefferson was the key piece the Wolves received in Tuesday's blockbuster deal with the Celtics. Al is a budding superstar and could easily approach 18-20 points, 11 rebounds and close to two blocks per game playing for rebuilding Timberwolves.
Kevin Garnett, Forward, Min
What happened: The Minnesota Timberwolves announced Tuesday the team has acquired forwards Al Jefferson, Gerald Green and Ryan Gomes, guard Sebastian Telfair and center Theo Ratliff, along with two first-round draft picks and cash considerations from the Boston Celtics in exchange for forward Kevin Garnett.
What it means: Garnett, a 10-time NBA All-Star, averaged 20.5 points (.491 FG%, .780 FT%), 11.4 rebounds and 4.1 assists in 38.3 minutes per game in 927 regular-season contests (890 started) in 12 seasons for the Timberwolves. Garnett’s scoring average should remain around 20 per game in Boston, but with Ray Allen and Paul Pierce to pass the ball to and nobody on the Celtics’ roster to challenge him for rebounds, expect Kevin to approach career highs in both rebounds and assists next season.
