the celtics sold their future for garnett. they better win it all next year.
I do not agree. On top of the vast improvement these players will cause this team to have, the Celtics still managed to retain Rondo. Word is the wolves wanted him, but the celts would not do it.The celtics have not had much of a future for years now. They have been terrible for years. This move instantly makes them valid. Green won a dunk contest, that is not cause to think he is a future superstar. He is not a franchise player. Not even close. Jefferson is debatable. He has the talent to be a all star caliber player. I did not want to see him go, but they ob had to give him up. There is not guarantee any of those players would make the Celtics anymore valid then they are now two years ago. Jefferson is the only real all star type player. One of those first round picks the Celtics gave up was a pick Minnesota sent to them in the Ricky Davis deal. Essentially a extra pick. It was a conditional pick also. They could not even use the thing for a few more years due to snags. The Celtics would always be picking 10 - 20 in the first round. No Odens there. With paul playing they suck, but not enough to pick really high. Dont forget how much time Paul missed this year with injury.The Celtics have to win now. People are sick of waiting. This has been going on for years and years. Wait, wait, wait. I think people are fed up with waiting. I like this move. Hell to make the most decorated franchise valid again after endless bad luck is worth it imo.
The Celtics where far to young last year. You also need to take into account Pierce missed monster chunks of the season. The Celtics need to win now. The youth has been given chance after chance for years. I do not think the fan base can take another 2 - 3 years of losing. Then only be good enough to make the playoffs and get stomped in the first round. Pauls is getting older. When he is gone what do they have left? Jefferson, Green, Rondo and a bunch of young draftees. Just my take.
