What do I think.......Ainge has got to go.

hahaha
seems to be the general consensus. It should make them better initially, especially if allen can stay healthy. and giving up wally wasnt a bad thing. but im not sure about that 5th pick....

I think the Bruins have raised up a notch above the celts

Ainge has a strange way of getting a championship for Pierce
I wonder if he'll have to do what Bourque had to resort to

I thought they need defense and a large man

The United States Constitution does not exist to grant you rights; those rights are inherent within you. Rather it exists to frame a limited government so that those natural rights can be exercised freely.

1984 was a warning, not a guidebook!

It's time more people spoke up with the truth. Every time we let a leftist lie go uncorrected, the commies get stronger.

I like the deal, anything to see this team get better. if Pierce and Allen can put up the #'s they've historically had, and Jefferson continues to get better, we should have a pretty good team. Dumping Wally's salary should bring us another quality player too. It's hard watching the celtics when you lived thru the Bird years, but the NBA in general doesn't compare to those days. and like Jim Morrison say's "The West is the Best" .

root root root for the home team, that's all I can do.

IMHO the NBA needs to drop about 10 teams because this league just doesnt' have the talent (or fans) to support all teams.

I like it, better than drafting another young kid and hopeing he'll be a player, instead, they go out and get a veteran All Star. One of the best shooters in the game.

How much longer do Celtics fans want to be in this freakin "rebuilding" mode anyway!? Bring in some good Veteran players to compliment the young kids they have.

There will be more trades....not a bad deal, his surgery was for bone chips....should be better when healed, if it was a knee or elbow, or something...thats different....the East is weak....with another decent trade, this team could contend for the East...not for the Championship.....you can't win with 20-23 year old players....unless it's Lebron.
