I cannot STAND Dan Shaughnessy -

There you go, Paul Pierce. You told your agent you wanted the Celtics to make a deal for an established star. They fulfilled your request. Now it’s up to you to deliver the goods. If the Celtics aren’t good now, it’ll be your fault. Not Danny’s fault or Doc’s fault. Paul Pierce’s fault.

I like Leon’s attitude. He’s tough.

Wow, Fisher would be willing to play for the Knicks? Maybe we do have a chance to land him considering the great care he could get here for his daughter.

Most of us are in agreement that we need some tougher, interior defense. I wonder what we’d have to give up to get either Haywood or Etan Thomas from the Wiz? Both of their contracts are only in the MLE range, I believe. Would you guys trade Tony Allen, Scalabrine, Ray or Powe and a 2nd rounder to get one of them? I think I would. I’d probably prefer Haywood, just because he’s bigger and a better defender. He’s got some serious stone hands though, so he can’t really do anything on offense. But he’s definitely a tough interior presence.

I just wonder what they’re looking for on their end – cap space, positional players, or picks?

From the Herald article:
Heading into his second season, Powe has a better grasp of the Celtsâ€™ system than Davis, who was drafted in the second round just last week.
—————————————————-
:D :D
Exactly what “system” is Bulpett referring to?? Davis is probably better off not knowing Doc’s “system”.

What system?

Metro,

Honestly, I wouldn’t trade a bag of crap for either of them. Just my opinion, but if Etan Thomas or Brendan Heywood gets serious minutes on your team, it’s a very bad sign.

Thomas is a guy who confuses everyone. People look at his body and assume there HAS to be something there. Then he steps on the court and … nothing. I have nothing against smoking pot, but Thomas tokes it up a little too much, and I think it affects his game.

And Heywood? If Perk is healthy, he is just as good. A bit smaller, but pretty equivalent. The difference being, Heywood has gotten a rep as a huge jerk. He and Thomas had a fist fight last year. They were both in the wrong. But management banished Heywood because he’s such a cancer.

Thomas underperforms. Heywood just isn’t very talented. They both are frustrating to watch.

FYI Hoopshype is having Sergio Sanchez blog about his time in Vegas and his attempts to make the celtics squad. Not a bad read and I look forward to seeing his comments after the games begin. You can check it out here:

My first impression was he should probably pump fake on Gerald a little more (seems to work for the rest of the NBA).

Sorry I don’t now why that link didn’t come out right. If it doesn’t work this time just go to Hoopshype front page you can’t miss it.

“Two years ago, we thought we had the opportunity to get Chris Paul for Paul Pierce. That was something we wanted to do, but it fell through, not from our doing”

Ummmmmmmmm okay? Scratching my head over this Danny quote. Why is he even bringing this up?

This is the same guy who says Doc is doing a fantastic job. Nothing that comes out of Ainge’s mouth should surprise anyone.
