Not sure how to feel about the Nets-Celts trade. Picks are nice but who knows what they will turn into. Wallace costs a lot. One nice thing is I get all the Nets games so I can watch KG and Pierce all next year. Will be weird seeing Paul in another uni.

The Nets will be interesting to watch. Lots of egos on that team.

Chicago, Indiana, Brooklyn, New York, Atlanta? Anyway who can stop the Heat from getting back to the Finals.

Like the Knicks picking up a PG, but sadly I don't think they really got any impact players. I was hoping for Plumlee.

I really wanted to see Pierce retire only having played for the Celts. He's been my favorite player since they drafted him. The second of my favorite athletes this has happened to in the last couple of months (Jarome Iginla).

sixers are wheelin and dealin in an effort to get the first pick next year. im likin it.

Those trades were fascinating.

Let the madness begin. Any Knicks fans excited for Bargnani?

i wish the Cs had made these deals a year earlier, but i like knowing change is officially on the way (for better or worse).

Tanking can be fun on the unintentional hilarity scale.

the last time they were in the position, they missed out on durant and oden. which worked out fine b/c they traded for garnett & allen and won a championship.

Yeah, I say that worked out for them. Can't see them repeating any key free agent signings without a major star. I would count Rondo as a major star but his personality can rub people the wrong way.

right, i'd rather see jeff green be the hold-over that pierce was during the last re-build. and honestly, were green and sullinger to develop (big if coming) and IF either olynyk or melo could be the serviceable 5 that every team needs, this rebuild might not take quite as long as the last one.

Green really needs to be more consistent to be considered a franchise centerpiece. He has his moments but he disappears from games way too much right now.

i agree, and it's hard to know if more minutes per game would help with that. for what it's worth, looking at their careers stats, green's got a higher FG % than pierce did at this age.

FG% is a small part of what makes a successful player. I'm not completely ruling Green out as a prospect but he's got a lot of work to do.

i agree completely (especially considering pierce's 3-pt shooting and the minutes). my bottom line is that i'm much more interested in green's development than rondo's.

I agree. I miss watching Rondo play. Hope he makes a speedy recovery.

You know you're old when the head coach of the Celtics is younger than you.....
