Around SBN: Which Players Will Join The 3,000-Hit Club?

Should the Celtics give up on the Big Three for the future?

Much speculation has brought some to the conclusion that Ray Allen will be dealt by the summers end. I cannot argue with the fact that he has been hot and cold throughout the season and his 19 million dollar contract will be a burden to any future signings the Celtics may have in the future, but when the game was on the line, there was no other option for a quick shot than Ray Allen, with the exception of Paul Pierce. Some say that this draft is that of a weak one, but i beg to differ. With the exception of Griffin and Rubio, i think this draft is filled with above average to great prospects ready to help immediately to numerous teams. I believe the celts should move up to a top five pick for a like a Thabeet, or Rubio, or even James Harden (projected number 3-4) who could fit nicely into a shooting guard role, if the need calls for it. Unfortunately i doubt the Celtics would trade up just for Harden. Rubio would only be in a Celtics uniform if Rondo were to be shipped, and I have not given up on him. He has progessively improved all categories including his shot and pass-making abilities. I am not disregarding the thought the Rubio would fit well in Boston, i am just saying is to give Rondo some more time. I have given up on the progression of Perkins, for he showed some light toward the end of the year, but still he is not everything that was expected of him. I would give him up with other options for Hasheem Thabeet because, despite his poor offensive skills, where better for a developing 7-3 big man to go than Boston with Cliff Ray and Tom Thinebeau. He will complement very well for Garnett and pose an interior threat and hopefully ( if we keep Ray Allen and Eddie House) give our outside shooters some easy points.


Be respectful and keep it clean. Thanks.

Draft?

I totally disagree. Most of the mid to late first round picks, and even some of the upper levels, like Thabeet and UNC’s big men all seem like they easily have what it takes to be a bust in the NBA. There is no one in this draft worth taking that you could potentially want as your player of the future.

Absolutely not. This draft is decidedly unremarkable.

Don't give it up yet

Should be the best team in the East next year. Let the Big 3 get smacked around by the Lakers before you break them up. Just to prove that they were a one-shot deal.

Typical Laker Fan

One Shot deal huh? You beat the Orlando Magic…not the defending CHAMPS. KG getting hurt was your only chance to win. I’d love to see the Lakers-Celtics in the Finals next year as all Laker fan’s would hide and shove their heads between their legs..again!

Did you enjoy watching the Celtics mop the floor with Kobe,Pau etc…and Banner 17 rising to the rafters?

NO

The only future you need to worry is this coming season and getting no.18.

Rubio aint replacing a point guard who has an average close to a triple double, huge downgrade that who ever suggested that happening should be exiled from Boston =P
