Bye bye Big 3

time for a trade

Do you think its time to think of trading at least 2 of the big 3 to make way for trying to get younger talent in!!!You see its starting to take affect and the seasons still young!!!we should have hammered New York but just made it hard for our selfs and once again getting beat by a young enough Orlando team again at home isnt good enough!!!2 years ago,we would have walked past all them!!!!i think they need to go!!

Be respectful and keep it clean. Thanks.

not at all

i would not trade TWO members of the big 3. if anything, maybe ray allen but i wouldnt do that either.
I think the celtics should keep the big 3 for this entire season. Yeah, the team might be struggling right now (I agree, beating NY by 2 is not impressive). this is an old veteran team. unlike what rasheed though preseason, the celtics will not have the best record ever, and will most likely not finish 1st in the east either (eitheer 2nd or 3rd), but this team was built (with additions of shelden, sheed, and quis) for the playoffs…not for a breakout season. just wait till the playoffs and they will be great again.

also, i predict that by this fridays game vs toronto, the celtics swagger will be back, it takes a while but the first 15-20 games of the season for an elderly team like the celtics are used to prepare for the important part of the season. just wait, the celtics are slowly but surely gaining their identity and swagger

yea

ok,but i hate calling the celtics a veteran team,we need some young fresh talent in!!i know for a fact that theyll still be here by the end of season but i want maybe Scala,Tony,House traded to a team like the Thunder for Durant,he would be the player we need!!!i think we need to start fresh by getting the old out!!!he should never have put Walker in the D-league,i think he will be brilliant.

hahaha

And I want to date Jessica Alba.

Sad thing is – me and Jessica has a much better chance of happening than Scals, Tony, Eddie for Durant.

This might be the most retarded thing I have ever heard. You don’t even understand how salaries need to match. You also don’t understand that Durant is untouchable and a franchise player that no team would ever trade. Only Lebron is more valuable than Durant at this point. On top of that Pierce and KG are playing great basketball. Ray Allen is showing his age a little bit but he has always been the weakest link defensively and we have always faired well just relying on his shooting ability.

If you want to learn how trades work go to ESPN’s trade machine.

The Thunder aren't trading Durant for expiring contracts

NO MORE SPECIAL TREATMENT

Stop all this special treatment, play the starters until they drop, play the young guy’s until they drop. By the end of the year we will have a good mix of old and young talent. The survivor will beat the Lakers, but with this attitude we can just barely beat the Knicks.

No

All 3 of them are going to retire as Celtics w/ 2 to 3 rings under their belt. They are 3 sure-fire 1st ballot hall of fame basketball players and you want to trade them away for some youth. This team has a nice blend of youth and veterans and when we start kicking its ON.
