Big Sports Year in Boston

The way I look at it is that they are going for it NOW!! The East doesn't take much to win it and with three bonafied all-stars, they are in the position to win it right now. Their window of opportunity won't be long with KG though. I understand he may be signing a four-year extention but I don't really think he's got a lot of time left. He's like Kobe Bryant in that they both came in very young so even though both are chronologically young, they both have a lot of NBA miles on those legs. If things go the way the can go, those draft picks will be late first rounders and these days, I don't think there is much out there in the draft once u get past the top 5-10 picks at most. They would be better off using their mid-level exception on an established veteran than on untested rookies. So if that's what it took to get KG, I'm all for it. Ainge has been torched in the media for a while but to get KG and Ray Allen in the span of a month, he deserves some credit.

I agree with you on all but the media...there are some good writers, but alot of them have started reporting their own agenda, and making themselves part of the story, when it shouldnt be that way.

The Patriots will win the Super Bowl

The Red Sox won't make it past the ALCS

The Celtics will lose in the 2nd round.

The Bruins will be elminated in the first round

And most importantly, don't forget that we will definitely have the Mass Cap this year - it is indeed a good year in Boston

Mass Cap weekend features the Mass Cap on Saturday and the Pats-Bills on Sunday this year...Sox likely clinching the division in Tampa Bay that weekend as well

I think that Boston needed to make the trade.

However.....

Maybe I'm wrong but I dont think they are much more than a 48-50 win team.(which I realize is a lot better than what they had) Though Garnett is still very good on both ends, Allen and Pierce couldn't guard Seattle even if they had an inclination about playing D. The point guard situation is murky and they have zero depth. Doc Rivers is still the coach.

This is a better trade in fantasyland than reality. Of course the refs may have something to say about all this.
