Wow! wonderful.. Certainly, the Celts are the team to watch next season after having so many years of boring seasons. If the deal completes, KG, 2004 season MVP, finally has chance to appear in the NBA finals from the weak eastern conference. Let's see how Paul Pierce, Ray Allen, and KG co-ordinate with each other. Sometimes, too many stars don't fit well in a single team.

boston gonna be nba champs not the world champs,just american champs.

Rusy bro, long time no see, how have you been? Do you come down to Boston any more? Samsara, don’t be too sure about calling other teams as mere flies on the wall. 6'5'' is definitely tall, but having height doesn't mean you can ball. From experience I can tell you, I know guys that tall, who have been made fools out of by guys less than 6'.

2003-04 LA Lakers were loaded with All Stars and Future HOF. That didn't jell that well..... If the story is true gotta give prop to most pathetic franchise for last 15 years

Let's see how good of a coach DOC is :=)

I still don't think they can beat western conf. teams like Dallas, Phoenix and San Antonio.

Rusty,
It looks like you know AX guy very well and you are right he changes his team as he move from place to place and also the players where they are traded. But over all he is still Sir Charles fan anyway ( which he was in his old days at rivera appt..

Ax k chha yar Gayeb bhais ta ta ,
Looks like you will be sniffing on heinekein and watching celtics this year...couch naya kinera lya hai

Shirish dai,
So you think Danny Ainge deserves a big raise this year ?

Himalaya

When Danny Ainge tried to change the then structure of Celtics, the reason/logic given was to develop a team - a long shot one. He was talking about the farm system. He wanted to raise a young team.

Now- he is turning back to Allen, Garnet and Pierce. How many years of BB left with them ? Celtics has a big guy - a draft pick and how he will perform is yet to be seen.

Now it does appear to me by his pick, he had his mind set to trade Al Jefferson.

It might be a desperate attempt of Ainge to extend his term by achieving relatively successful year. Raise ?? Not yet. Recoup the losses first.

So depending on "Seeing is believing" kind of formula then?

Up to now Ainge's strategy have failed miserably.

Nepaliballer bro, I am still around, but these days I don't attend Boston parties and stuffs.. that's the reason you don't see me anymore. Yeah, it's been long time.

Himalaya, yeah AX is vanished in space without any trace:p It's cool to see him watching the Celtics games.. This year, I will watch the game from pre-season.

Well, Doc really have to improve on defensive mentality. Danny Ainge, whom I hated after he made that stupid trade with Walker, now has the best starting lineup on the floor, assuming that trade is completed. At the same time we should be concerned about diminishing age factor of Pierce and Allen. KG & Allen should be more concered about lifting the team to next level (possiblly taking to the finals), rather than competing on who is team's captain. The heats still going to be big challenge in weak east if Wade comes back healthy. Well, KG always had crappy players around him, except for a couple of seasons. Now, he's got Pierce & Allen. I hope these 3 stars will make it happen coming season. I still want KG not to be diminished on his Rebounds, at least 12+ on avg. Certainly his points will go down this season.

I think DEAL IS DONE

good deal for the Celtics but is KG supposed to be a free agent next year?

Rusty that one liner was for you .... converting from Knicks to Celts :=) As long as TD is around KG may never win the MVP award... I will always be Spurs fan till they have TD around ;)

never liked Pierce, Allen and KG and the trio in one team still doesn't interest me... Celts sounds like another high power Eastern Suns team to me :p

Himalaya Hero I am still around.... yo weekend ma phone pakka garchu :=) Yup I am still Sir Charles fan and I never miss his Half Time Analysis on TNT during the season :p I can bet you a dollar that he can still grab 10 rebounds a game ;)

...Its official. The deal has completed

AX,
Good catch:p I am converted to Celticism ;) When I team is worthless to watch, knicks ko fan bhayera k garnu? Opportunist fan not true fan:P
AX.. TD getting old, so shift your gear to Bean town.
I still remember a couple of seasons in MN when KG, S. Marbury, and Tom Gugliotta( I hope you remember him) were timberwolves. What an amazing young team it was back then, even though they never made it to second round of the playoffs. KG has next best trio again. BUt i agree with you the Celts could be a next Suns. It will depend on how well Doc can manage these players.

I'm glad to know that KG is the newest Celt. He deserves a ring and he could've never gotten one in MN.

All the Boston papers are now calling C's as contenders of the East.

It will be busy days: Red Sox, Celtics and Patriots. Even Revs are doing pretty well.

I was thinking KG (king gyanendra ) moving to Celtic football team.

Shirish dai (As Himalaya like to say) why not mention Little League team from Worcester, MA??? They are favorite to win the 2007 Little League World Series :=)

I am surprized with AX's knowledge on sports.

I lived in Worcester for three years.

म त ज्ञानेन्द्र (KG) आयरल्याण्ड या स्क्टल्याण्ड (Celtics) तिर भाग्न लायो भन्ठानेको, शिर्षक पढ्दा। धत्!
