If the Celtics can put Pierce and Allen together they are going to be able to score with anyone in the league...

Now defense and front court are where the problems lie...

Jeff Green while he could turn out to be a very very good player, I take Ray Allen and 4 more years over Jeff Green...

one more thing, with a team that is no where near a championship contender why would you trade the #5 pick for a guy that might have 2-3 good years left? You are in a rebuilding mode and trade out of the top 5 for a guy that is on the down side of his career? Stupid.

no way. Pierce and Allen both need the ball to be successful, and I believe there is only one ball. Horrible move. Allen has been very injury prone too in his advanced age. I wouldn't have taken Green #5, I would have taken Wright or Brewer but the point is Ainge is a moron.

Most thought the same with Melo and AI as well...They did fine playing together...

It isnt like anyone else on their team is going to demand shots...They are going to be the main gunners, and with them two, West and Wally are going to be getting wide open looks all game long, as both can penetrate and force double teams and help...

Also what helps in this situation over the Melo/AI situation is they will have all offseason to work on playing together...

As for the two guys you mentioned they are not necessairly game changing type players as you got with Allen...You know what Allen brings to the table and those two could very well flop...

West and Wally are going to Seattle along with the #5 pick. Even better huh? :biggrin:

Great pick for the Bulls getting Noah. He has hustle and heart and the genes. He'll be a great replacement for Big Ben. well, they don't play the same position, but they provide similar skills.

The problem with the Bulls is that they continue to bring in guys that arent scorers...Thomas/Wallace/Noah are not scorers...We saw what happened when they meet a defensive team and Gordan and Hinrich can't put up mad points...

I am not saying they can't win, but IMO they needed some scoring from their front court, not a guy like Noah that is going to take a couple years to develop an offensive game...

Didnt realize that...Well it looks like Telfair is going to be running the point...

It is a questionable move with them guys going to Seattle, but still the Celtics have two all-star caliber scorers and will be able to score against anyone...

I thought Telfair was basically gone. Didn't he get arrested and Ainge annouced that his name was off his locker?
