Yeah, basically.
I think we might look back on this as our Kevin Garnet trade.
Celtics gave up Al Jefferson, Gomes, Telfair, multiple draft picks etc and Celts fans were actually upset at the price and thought they didn't have any depth left. Think they like the KG trade now?
This trade makes us CONTENDERS for 4-5 years. CONTENDERS.
for the second round?
depends on the matchups and depends how they fine-tune the roster.
also, before this trade we were not getting out of the first round.
how else do you propose getting past miami/boston/orlando?
stars wins in this league.
we have two legit top ten players now.
i'd say that makes us perennial contenders.
Miami has 2 legit superstars who play defense and offense and another high level all-star. NY has 2 elite scorers.
Chicago has a MVP-type PG and defense and depth.
OKC has 2 elite scorers and depth, picks, and cap space.
LAL has depth, defense, MVP guy.
