How to Welcome Kevin Garnett to Boston

I remember a while back when Charlie Weis mania first took hold at Notre Dame and some Fighting Irish die hards were openly concerned about their coach's health. Some fans, most likely bloggers, made the case that it was their duty to talk Weis out of any bad eating decisions on campus. It was a good natured, sincere movement that appeared to have Weis's best interests in mind. I have no idea if anyone ever actually tried to persuade Weis to throw away a hamburger. And ultimately this is just a convoluted introduction to a top 10 list of how Boston fans should welcome Garnett to town:

  1. Buy as many #5 jerseys as possible. Obviously.
  2. Sell out the TD Banknorth Garden.
  3. Initiate a campaign that ensures Garnett becomes a Dunkin' Donuts spokesman. Granted he makes a ton of money already, but who's counting? And this could possibly lower Rachael Ray's television presence. That's a win-win right there.
  4. Make sure that Dan Shaughnessy is not allowed to write about Garnett. They should not speak either.
  5. Get Garnett's opinion of the Celtics dance team. If he is from the Ricky Davis school of thought, keep the squad active. If he is opposed to the dance team (fingers crossed) it has to go.
  6. Prevent Danny Ainge from bringing in UConn guys as he fills out the roster. This will ultimately make sure that Donny Marshall does not annoy Garnett with questions and stories about UConn guys.*
  7. Give Garnett space. There is a fine line between welcoming and annoying a person. For example no one should approach Garnett in a men's room under any circumstances. Remember less is more. And heckling is strictly forbidden.  
  8. When it comes time for Garnett to purchase a home the state of Massachusetts must employ an eminent domain style approach to make sure he gets what he wants.
  9. Take back the TD Banknorth Garden. Follow the Golden State Warriors home crowd's lead and refuse to be controlled by the music selection, applause-o-meter, Lucky, the dance team, the Jumbotron in general and every other annoying gimmick. Make basketball in Boston special.
  10. Do whatever it takes to overshadow racist idiots.
*Note to self - Ray Allen is one of the ultimate UConn guys. Hmmmm. As long as Khalid El-Amin and Jake Voskhul don't show up in the green and white everything will be okay.

Why the hate?
Hmmmm, why exactly are you hating on UConn?  Because Donny Marshall talks about the school?  UConn has been the only elite basketball team in New England since the Celtics fell from grace.  They have one of the highest totals of alum currently in the NBA.  There are a ton of UConn alum in Boston, and having a UConn player on the Celtics is a good business move (attracting CT fans & media).  Of course, winning is a better business strategy.

Voskhul and El-Amin
Considering the need to bring in bodies at low prices to fill out the roster, it wouldn't surprise to see the likes of Voskhul and El-Amin on this roster in a couple months!

Hole to fill...
I love the deal, can's wait for the season. Perhaps James White, recently cut by the spurs, can fill Geralds role as the highlight off the bench.

UConn
I have nothing against UConn per say. I like Ray Allen, Emeka Okafor and love the aforementioned El-Amin. Once Calhoun had him sit down with a pyschologist because of his poor performance in school. Halfway through El-Amin blutered out, "I'm not crazy I'm just fucking lazy!" I even like Calhoun, though not enough is made about how crazy he is now. His Ryan Gomes rant was classic. I just despise Donny Marshall's way of relating everything to his UConn days and NBA career. And the Marshall Plan helped rebuild Europe after WWII. It is not the keys to success for a Celtics win. Long story short I like UConn, love the trades and look forward to the season.
