The Bright Side - At Least We Didn't Get These Guys
Promoted FanPost
Remember the offseason drama? Oh yeah that's right. The Chris Paul dilemma, the David West i-choose-bird-better-than-ainge issue and so on. Have you looked again to all the supposed players that we are all rooting for to join the Celtics? Let us enumerate it one by one:
- Chris Paul - injured (Sore hamstring). what will happen now if we lost him to an extended period of time? well in comparison to the injury of rondo, i think paul's is more major.
- David West - (often injured) well I'm happy now that we were not able to acquire him. He is no longer the allstar he was a season ago. No athleticism, no interior prescence. And like JO, he is fragile. Just yesterdays game against the Warriors, he was sent to the locker room for an alleged injury AGAIN. (very JO)
- Kwame Brown (Torn pectoral muscle - out for season)
- Stephen Curry (Ainge attempted to trade for him to trade again for Paul, Severe Ankle injury)
- Shannon Brown (no injury) not as productive as he was in Fakers, in short waste of money if ever we acquired him
- Reggie Evans - was not able to play immediately for the Clippers because of a FOOT INJURY
- Tyson Chandler - a total bust for a team with no competition at the Center position, bye bye 14 million, I feel sorry for New York
- Deshawn Stevenson - out of basketball condition
- Michael Beasley (Sprained right foot)
- Chuck Hayes (Dislocated Left Shoulder)
- Aaron Gray (Knee Injury)
- Kyrylo Fesenko (Knee Injury acquired in the FIBA competition)
I think there are more but I will leave it as such. I am not saying that we don't have injury issues because we all know that we have (Green, Rondo, Dooling, Wilcox) but compared to the enumerated players, I think our players are in a much better condition. If Danny pursued the said players that we thought would create big impact to the team, we may end up playing our Jurassic Big 3 and inexperienced rookies to play 66 games. I guess GM's like them really has the better knowledge in terms of scouting players. Just imagine if we traded for CP3, we will continuously struggle because of his absence due to an injury-prone (not in condition) body, and David West? never mind that fella, that 8 million of his that is committed for 2 years is better alloted to a more athlethic and talented player. In short, the real deal is next year. We have Gordon, Hibbert, Brook Lopez, D-Wil, Love, and of course the much coveted Superman Dwight Howard. Let us just wait, Danny is a good GM. He will never let this team down. The last GOOD MOVE he made, he assembled the Big 3 of Garnett, Pierce, and Allen that led to the 17th Championship. Patience will forever be a virtue. Wanna smile? Imagine a combination of 2-3 superstars I mentioned above wearing in green. Let's keep dreamin', we have the cap space. We are the Celtics. Go C's!
Be respectful and keep it clean. Thanks.

I would still gladly take David West over Jermaine O'Neal, though...

Of all those guys, I feel like Love would be the best fit for Boston.
I’m not sure if he’s restricted or not, but I hope we make a serious play for the guy.

He’s restriced, the Wolves are working hard on a contract, but they also have other guys contracts expiring in the next year, so we can cross are fingers and hope they can’t afford a max contract. Even with his stats Love seems to be underated in a lot of peoples mind. With a really good point card he’ll look even better.
Danny should offer the max in the offseason.
Without question, watching him this season, Love has hit a different level.
Let’s put it this way, there is absolutely 0 doubt in my mind that Kevin Love is the best Power Forward in the NBA. The guy can do it all. Inside, outside, rebound, defense (which is better than people give him credit for, he’s a tough interior defender, and defense is more about system than individual, when have the Wolves ever had a defensive minded coach?)
Boston has max money to offer next year, the minute free agency starts, you offer it to Love, no doubt about it. If minnesota manages to find a way to afford a max contract and matches, so be it, nothing you can do. But you gotta try.
Love has a defense rating of 97
That’s as much as Dwight’s. While he’s obviously not as good defensively as DH, he’s still pretty good.
Yet the C's are still 5-9
No offence, but this post is useless. I guess C’s fans have to find their little happiness in that kind of thinking now that the team is bound to suck for several years.
BTW
The paragraph about Lopez, Howard, Love & Cie is pretty silly too. None of those guys are coming here:
- Dwight wants a big market & a flashy team
- D-Will is useless when you already have Rondo
- the RFA are not coming (they will be maxed out / or their teams will match any Celtics offers / or the Celtics will have to overpay them)
You should be thinking draft/young players rather than laughing at injured players and dreaming of star players who are not signing in Boston next summer.
Howard is def not, you can never say with Williams, I like Rondo, but for some reason D-will is more actractive to guys around the league. Also, teams aren’t able to match offers like it’s the NFL, there’s a difference between a big market and a small market team. Love is deserving of a max contract and Minnesota might not be able to give him that.
im feeling some love ?
we should do every thing in are power to make a run at kevin love and another option is roy hibbert the guys charles oakley but has more offense cause we celtics fans are not going to wait another 20 years for a title
