Is there any reason at all to believe this team might actually be good sometime in the next 5 years or so?

Just look at how good they've been when Scalabrine isn't available. He's currently averaging 4 points and 2 rebounds in 20 minutes. That's incredibly bad. That's about what Bruce Bowen does offensively. And Scalabrine can't make that up in defense. My personal favorite Scal game was
this one. 38 minutes, 0 points, 5 rebounds, 4 assists, 5 fouls in a game where the Celts lose by 2. Pierce + Jefferson + draft - Scalabrine is enough to get this team into the playoffs.
