On this day: Garnett, Pierce, Terry traded; Silas, Riebe, Wallace born

On this day, the Boston Celtics dealt away the remainder of their 2008 title team to the Brooklyn Nets in one of the most lopsided trades in NBA history.

On this day in 2013, the Boston Celtics dealt away the remainder of the 2008 title crew.

The Celtics traded big man Kevin Garnett, forward Paul Pierce, guard Jason Terry and forward D.J. White to the Brooklyn Nets in exchange for forwards Gerald Wallace and Kris Humphries, wing Keith Bogans, guard MarShon Brooks, forward Kris Joseph, three future first round draft picks and the right to swap first round picks in the 2017 NBA draft.

The move put an end to a 15-season career with the team for Pierce, and six for Garnett: Terry and White had played just one season each with Boston.

One of the most lopsided trades in NBA history, the Celtics would begin using the haul to rebuild immediately, and were only out of the playoffs for a single season after one of the better jobs rebuilding a program after its core aged out in recent league memory.
