1991
prior to the 2007 nba draft, mchale reportedly tried to work out a trade with boston celtics general manager (and former celtics teammate) danny ainge to trade franchise star kevin garnett (frequently named, at the time, the best active player to have never won an nba championship) to boston, in exchange for a draft pick and multiple players. garnett's agent told the timberwolves and the celtics that his client had no interest in playing for boston. (although boston had a legitimate star in paul pierce, and some solid young players, the team was coming off a 24-win season, and garnett was not interested in going from one mediocre team to another.) the potential trade was scuttled, for the time being.  however, in late june the celtics swung a draft-day deal with the seattle supersonics to acquire sharpshooter and seven-time all-star ray allen.  so in late july 2007, when the timberwolves and the celtics once again discussed a deal involving garnett, the prospect of playing alongside both pierce and allen caused garnett to ease his stance on being dealt to boston; on july 31 he was sent to the celtics for five players and two first-round draft picks, and the celtics instantly became viewed as contenders.    the very next season, garnett would go on to help the celtics win the nba championship, was named nba defensive player of the year, and finished third in the voting for the regular season version of the league's most valuable player award. (although one of mchale's key acquisitions in the trade - promising power-forward al jefferson - would come very close to matching garnett's statistics from the previous year, and ryan gomes (another player acquired in the trade) performed well, the rebuilding team won 10 fewer games its first season without garnett.) the timberwolves eventually fired mchale by the end of the 2008–09 season.
