[WhiteMamba]

[raptorlife4]

good job by the celtics to dump these old bums

 

[Shanemansj13]

WOW!

Deron Williams
Joe Johnson

KG
Brook Lopez

Bench:

Jason Terry

Good collection of overpaid and over the hill players. Think if this was 5 years ago.

 

[Shanemansj13]

They were talking about them contenders last yr. Now they have Pierce and KG, both aging veterans but can still play.

You can dream, but no way this would happen 5 years ago.

 

[starbigd]

I actually think they shouldn't start ANY of them. Bring them all off the bench. They only way those guys will be effective is if you are limiting their minutes, like what the Spurs do with Duncan.

 

[Tubbs1518]

Except the Celtics got Overpaid Bums back. Gerald Wallace?

 

[jayviabay]

Good move to dump salary by ainge but these guys should of retired as celtics. this is the part that sucks about the business side of things. Watching Jordan play in another uniform was just horrible

 

[Hornsstampede2.0]

Depending if they can fill in the cracks with veterans....

The NETS might just be the best team in the east on paper.

I think every position features an allstar in the last 3 years.

Plus Jason Terry.

Deron Williams
Joe Johnson
Paul Pierce
Kevin Garnett
Brook Lopez

That is the best starting lineup in the NBA.

if they can only find a bit of depth to go with Jason Terry.

 

[starbigd]

Boston gets:

K Humphries, G Wallace, Reggie Evans, Tornike Shengalia, Keith Bogans going to Boston.

along with the draft picks, but there is no guarantee on those picks. I don't like the trade for Boston unless they are making some other moves.

Just bc they start doesnt they have to play big minutes. They will all start but it is just crazy even aging that so many All-Stars/great players are on one team.

No doubt

Don't forget Kris Humphries, but at least he is expiring after this year.

The Nets can still limit their minutes. Williams/Lopez/Johnson is enough for them to still be very affective.

If they money left. They did get Wallace's huge contract of their back and Humpries.

Are the Celtics now a bottom 5 NBA team?

Just goes so show, from coaches right down the line, nobody wants to be part or rebuilding.

It will be as strange as strange can be to see Pierce/Garnett in another uniform.

 

[jayviabay]

yea, he was a one hit wonder for a contract and then fell sorely off the map

 

[Shanemansj13]

So Nets go from playoff team to championship contender.

Boston goes from playoff team to top 5 draft pick AGAIN.

 

[Clayton]

Celtics doing the right thing. They should tank completely and build around Rondo, Green and a top 5 pick.
