Hall of Fame Boston Celtics big man Kevin Garnett knows a thing or two about being loyal to a team to a fault and staying with a club long past when he ought to have asked for a trade.

That worked out well for fellow Boston Hall of Famer Paul Pierce, who might have had the same issue afflicting his career had The Big Ticket not gotten himself dealt to the Celtics in 2007.

The pair of Banner 17 titlists have insight most of us do not when it comes to sticking with a team or moving on. When the pair weighs in on Damian Lillard’s situation with the Portland Trail Blazers, their voice ought to carry more weight.

They also get into the postseason ceiling of the New York Knicks and plenty more; take a look at the clip embedded above to hear what they had to say.
