You're old...

KG won his title at the perfect time though. He had his one last breath, but now the injuries are starting to take their toll. Ray and Paul look a little slower everyday. In a year or 2, we may very well be saying that Rondo is the MVP of that team!

Knew KG was getting old when he had start resulting to shenanigans just to keep up with the young guys. Between the cheap shots and flops he has very little left in his bag.

Whatever happens now, they already got their championship. The gamble paid off.

oohah

Good luck Mike D'Antoni, 'cause you ain't never seen nothing like this before!

They can still save the season and make another championship run or two if they make the right deal.

their biggest trade chip is ray's expiring...but it's a big one so they will have to take some bad contracts in return.

They acomplished the ultimate "Starphuch" and it paid off.

NOw its time to pay the the price.

Collison ran right thru them.

If collison is that good the hornets can trade Paul and get some pieces. Somtimes thats one way to stay ahead of the game.

A Ray Allen for KMart (Kings) deal gets them right back in the convo

They also need to start thinking about Nate Robinson if they cant pull off a KMart deal.

if the celtics want to get gangsta, they can really shore up alot of their holes by trading ray to the kings for kmart + nocioni and for the relief - jason thompson.

that saves the kings nearly $50 mil long term. they would trade thompson for that type of savings.

gives the celtics a SG, backup forward and a young forward to groom.

The Celtics won their championship because they had a healthy KG, and Kobe let them win.

Kings aren't trading K-Mart for cap space alone and Boston does not really have any other assets other than their 1st round pick. Maybe Allen, Big Baby, 1st pick and $3 mill for K-Mart.

KG obviously isn't what he used to be but he still has the best +/- on that team and is still playing pretty damn good D this year. If Garnett stays healthy for the playoffs, I think Boston still has as good of a shot at the Finals as any other team in the East. Doc is clearly trying to limit KG's minutes and save him for the playoffs. I don't think Garnett has played 35 minutes or more in any of the games since his return from injury.

I think that Sheed signing has ended up backfiring big-time. He has just been a terrible all-around player this season.

"This is a very cautious situation that we're in. You have to be conservative in terms of using your assets and using them wisely. We're building for the future." - Zeke (I guess not protecting a first round pick is being conservative)

I meant to say that Allen/KMart would be the main cogs. I dont think Big Baby or anybody else on the Celtics outside of Rondo or the big three would be a make or break tho.

KMart isnt working on the Kings. Kings arent going anywhere, anytime soon. If they can get a top draft pick this year, continue to develop Evans, and have a boatload of cash to sign a major free agent in '11 and beyond, they will be more than thrilled.

No, they don't. They need to make a minor deal to see if it's enough to make one more run at a title. Then they need to let Pierce retire, KG and Allen go, and rebuild.

You don't overhaul an old team you put it out to pasture and start over.

And, btw, for all the flack Boston gets, they're still a good team, and they won a title. So it's funny to see people dump on them and hack on Allen, KG, and Pierce. They're champs and even before they were champs they were all exceptional players.

cosmic - when you're that close to a championship, you do everything in your power to make a big time move to win a ring. those type of chances don't come around too often. celtics' ray allen contract can get them significant talent upgrade to win it now and stay competetive in the future. nobody's asking for an overhaul b/c nobody said they should trade pierce or kg. they should trade ray's expiring.
