Work your magic Otis. Well said.......and just when it appears that all is lost...we get better! If Seattle did not demand all of our draft picks and excepted expiring contracts.....we would have retained Darko! With that said, we need experience at the 4 & 5 and that puts us in the thick of things. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

One of those guys are probably gonna go. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ThisIsTheYear 241 Report post Posted July 30, 2007 This team is going to be insanely dangerous. When they sit out, however, their bench will be easy pickens. For a "win a championship NOW" kind of attitude, this trade is amazing. The future, on the other hand, is bleak for them. Well........the East has become much more formidable.

~O~ 565 Report post Posted July 30, 2007 Lets not forget one factor, the Magic killers. These Magic killers may be sitting on the bench but there is seemingly one on every team in the NBA. Never underestimate a teams bench you guys. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tough Break There 96 Report post Posted July 30, 2007 quote: man, looking back at the past few months for the celts, our GM doesnt look half bad... theyve traded away their future...a couple of times over...trading West, Jeff Green, Gerald Green, and Al Jefferson??? that team had loads of potential...and now they have nothing to look forward to...except for this season...and maybe another...depending on KG... Pat, your banner is horryfing... Not sure why you guys value Jefferson and Green so much. One was in the dunk contset and the other only played well vs. the Magic. Potiential, maybe. But for KG? Are you ****ing kidding me. In this league if you have a superstar big (KG) and a shooter (they now have two of the best), you will contend for the Finals. I think this deal just makes our offseason look even worse. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think this deal just makes our offseason look even worse. i guest that is why i like the magic chances for the next 6 years. Go magic!!!!! jefferson did average 17pts,like 8-9rebs, and a block, with good FG%, green can be a15-20pt scorer and they are both super young, the celtics gave up alot. I didnt even talk about the our 3 players they may have gave up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wow the Celtics gave up like 4 dudes to get Kevin Garnett for only 1 year. If he doesnt resign with them, then their f*****. But i doubt it if he dont resign with them. I mean hes playing with Ray Allen and Paul Pierce. 3 veteren allstars on 1 team is unreal. Almost like cheating the league. But were gonna see how this 1 plays out. Go Magic.

They have a better chance then most teams. C'mon be real. Name a player that can actually matchup and stop any of these 3allstars 1on 1. Do you know how tuff its gonna be to contain 1 of them. Now teams gotta try to contain 3 allstars. You cant double all of them not enough men. So its not a gurantee that they will win 1 but they sure as h*** have a better chance then most to win. 3 allstars on 1 team is basically like cheating. If they won a championship i wouldnt even be surprised. Teams that pay out money, WIN. Thats a proven fact. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

No, part of the deal is that KG has agreed to a 4 year extension with the Celtics. That was the only way they would pull the trigger. It appears as if he has agreed to a 4-year extension worth 80 million. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
