Trade rumors are swirling, as per usual this time of year, with the NBA trade deadline a couple of weeks away (Feb. 21).

Celtics forward Kevin Garnett, who has a no-trade clause in his contract, has been involved in those rumors.

On Tuesday, Garnett addressed those rumors — and he started out by indicating that under Danny Ainge, the Celtics president of basketball operations, any change would not be surprising.

“I bleed green, I’ll die green,” Garnett continued. “That’s what it is. But it is a business. When it crosses that path, I’ll deal with it. Trades are apart of this league. Every year you’re going to hear things. If I were y’all (the media), I wouldn’t read too much into it.”
