Is the Celtics trade as good as it seems?

[Epoch1]

Danny Ainge has made a trade that a lot of sports writers seem to think is a great one. I'm not as excvited as they are.

What do you NBA gurus think?

I don't see what's not to like. Got rid of an expiring(in 3 days) trade exception. Acquired a serviceable big man in Zeller, an expiring contract with Thornton, and a 1st rd pick.

Those reasons sound great. But having lived through the 90's I live in fear of the Celtics becoming the daycare center for young developing players once again.

You know... those guys that we work with and teach and when they get decent, decide to go to other teams.

I'm not a big fan of investing years into building young players. Maybe we can use the young guys and all those draft picks to make another trade like the one that brought us KG.

Is Love still on the market?

Yes. Minny just hasn't shown any interest in what Boston has so far

They're now over the salary cap so you can expect more moves before the summer is out.

Love is still on the market and word is Danny is getting creative with different assets to acquire him.

OK! We have it from the best expert I know!

The Celtics are.. or Minny?

The C's.

 

[Epoch1]

The C's.

OK. I'm not a numbers guy. I just like to think I know talent when I see it. But I don't know squat about these guys.

 

[Epoch1]

I'm guessing that not too many people are Celtics fans here.

There's a couple. But for the most part, we try to keep the riff raff out.

Zeller was a Tar Heel..........Nothing special

Hahaha! Did you notice I also have the Lakers as one of my favorite teams? I like great teams... there aren't any greater than those two.

So now we have 3 1st round picks in 2016? I hope we can land Love.
