Kevin Garnett addressed many issues in an interview with the Globe on Friday and one of them was his future, which has been a touchy subject for the moody forward in past years.
Garnett said he wants to retire a Celtic and has not ruled out signing beyond next season, when he contract expires.
“I want to finish my career as a Celtic,†said Garnett, who joined Boston in a trade with Minnesota before the 2007-08 season. “This is it. I don’t plan on bouncing from team-to-team, that’s not really the plan. Hopefully God willing, I can finish my career out in the classy, elegant with a class-full organization as Boston. I don’t want to downgrade. I want to continue to be where I’m at. This is the first option and hopefully the only option.â€
When asked if he would play past next season, Garnett said with a giggle: “My body and I gotta actually have a one-on-one to see future-wise, where I’m at and what I want to do. So I will make that decision.â€
The power forward also said he has full confidence that the Celtics can make another title run with “young components.”
