Listen I could just prove that we don't have a franchise player.......but I won't. Caz it's well known. Marbury isn't (never was). Crawford isn't. Curry isn't (and won't be) And of course, the only thing that'll get you into the post season without a franchise player is awesome defense..........and well, that's just not happening. I mean hey I wouldn't mind great defense/no franchise, but its not in the cards. So what do we do? Well we have an owner who runs the show like a corporation, so firing Isiah and trading Curry is out of the question. Now that we've established Isiah and Curry are P-R-E-T-T-Y much staying, the next step is to pick a style of ball: Fast.... or Slow. Ya, I'm gonna go with slow, unfortunately despite the fact most of our team would be good in uptempo. In that case keepers? QRich Marbury Curry Lee (most likely) James Frye Goners? Crawford Nate Why Crawford, huh. Big 52 right. No, wrong. If Curry is your 1 or 2 option, then your going slowball (essentially), therefore less possessions, meaning you need efficient shooting, not streaky jack-em-up stuff. Crawford would be great in Pheonix or Denver where he could just rain free, but that won't work here unfortunately, so he needs out. Atleast IMO. Question is --- what should we be looking for in return? AllStar player NOW? Or through Free Agen. later? Your call..... 'Less of course you'd rather just keep J-Clutch.

The right thing to do IMO is to tear it apart, get as many draft picks, young two-way players, and expiring contracts as possible for what we have now and rebuild and around solid, young, versatile 2-way players. Since that won't happen and the only option is to keep re-tooling the roster, I'd say keep Crawford. I don't think you'll get something better than him in return.

right, let's do what the Celtics did... they are enjoying much success these days as a direct result of the brilliant roster moves their GM has made the past few years.

How much do you want to bet that the Celtics win a playoff series before we do?

i'll put up a couple rounds of beer at a Knicks game if you want... i have a feeling that team is in for at least another 3-4 years before they even make the playoffs.

It's a bet.

Put Oden or Durant next to Pierce and a blossoming Jefferson to go with their other young pieces and the Celts are a playoff team next year and a playoff series winner the year after.

& what do i get if the Celtics don't make the playoffs next season as per your prediction?

I'll hook you up with a hot asian chick.
