Boston Boxer

talk of a deal are this. Boston gets Garrnett and gives up Big Al, Green, Telfair and the #5. I hate this trade. I don't want to give up Al.

It's just way too much to give up.

If we do pull a trade, I hope it's one with a much less steep price, ie the rumored Marion trade.

I wouldn't trade Al straight up for one year of Garnett. The fact the rumor has Boston sweetening the pot makes me feel much better because it shows there's nothing to it.

McHale might want all of that, but there's no way he's getting it.

For some reason, Garnett isn't too eager to come here. I can't imagine why.

Think we can send them Telfair anyway?

TomBrady'sGoat

Thank God. Even if Ainge wanted to do something stupid Garnett wouldn't let him.

I don't worry too much about guys like Telfair. He makes peanuts and could be cut with minimal impact. I still like that the Telfair trade allowed them to unload Raef.

our three chips with the most upside are: gerald, al, and the number five pick
i really didnt wanna give up all three

then again, i didnt realize we could give wally back
that woulda been kinda nice

what sux is that it says marion doesnt wanna come here
so who does???

I question how much value the #5 pick has to us... we've got plenty of youth and have been building for the future for the last decade it seems.

A Garnett trade effectively accepts the fact that Jefferson is a force on one side of the basket, whereas Garnett is a force on both sides.

Sure Jefferson has more upsdie but Garnett has realized his upside.

Basically one has to ask oneself what would a team with Garnett and Pierce be able to accomplish in the next three years as opposed to the status quo.

I think Garnett and Pierce can make some good things happen right away.

If they'd have him for 3 years I just might like he idea. The reality is that they'd only get him for 1.

Trading might be the way to go, but Garnett is not the right target.

I do not like this trade, will satisfy some short term goals, but in three years will just be another mediocre NBA team.

Good article by Gerry Callahan in today's Herald. Talking about M.L. Carr and the acquisition of Dominique Wilkiins. After 12 seasons Wilkins was not the same player and the Celtics won three more games then the year before. I tend to think of Dave Cowens who played 10 seasons before surrendering. So you want to trade for the most expensive player in the league who's play is declining and might have two good years left? In addition, your giving up a young soon to be dominant big man, a lottery pick which may be a very good player in two years, and a point guard who most people are highly complimentary (Rondo). Yea, I make that trade, then reminisce of the glorious Rick Pitino days.
