you have to go for it if you're ainge. you have the same window with the three superstars that you had with allen/pierce, and you'd be [censored] either way if you didnt win it all in that window. jefferson isn't a guy who can carry the load when pierce is 4 years older. i'd rather them blow it up again in 5 years than keep drafting #15-20 for the rest of my life.

simmons has a pretty good article, it's always refreshing to see a diehard fan with a crappy team react to impact news. as always, simmons is a great writer.

Maybe PP will hit the damn treadmill and get his chubby behind in gear now that he has some real players on the squad. So who's gonna sweep the Celts in the Finals this year? SA/PHO/HOU/DAL/UTAH?

But what about their bench? Its weak at best.

Who is left in free agency that we could make a run at?

Brevin Knight?
What about Forwards?

The official threads officially outlived their usefulness with the mammoth and unreadable NBA playoff thread. If someone can't start a fresh thread for the biggest NBA trade in years then this forum is way too uptight.

Yeah, you're right. My b.

Re: The bench. Give it time. We obviously need to pick up a couple pieces. If we only get one, it has to be a PG. We could deal with having weak support off the bench at the 4-5 spot with Powe and Davis, but a decent back up PG is a must.

Simmons' article reminded me about Jefferson's current contract. He's a free agent in 2 years. That sort of blows for the TWolves. I wish it was more like 4 years so he could resign with the Celtics, but at least he'll be free (if he hasn't eaten himself out the league since he'll be so depressed).
