Garnett to the Celtics (merged)
- Thread starter supamari0
- Start date
There will be enough basketballs to go around, all 3 will most likely get most of the shots for the Celtics and are not known as kobe Bryants of the World. KG is known as one of most unselfish players in the league and he also played with Cassel and Spewell. Allen was part of the big 3 in Mil which also included G. Robison and Cassel and also played with R. Lewis in seattle. Paul played with Walker, Payton, and Wally. All 3 of these guys have played with past allstars i see no reason they can't coexit. And If teams like Suns, New Jersey, and SA could get their stars shots i don't see why the the Celtics can't.
The Celtics are in a great postion right now with their abitily to still be able to use there mle and vet min. I really could see them using there vet min on Knight, 1/3 of the mle on PJ Brown or Webber and 2/3 of the mle on Barnes. The Celtics could really put the prefect set of role players around Pierce, Allen, and KG.
Rondo/Knight
R. Allen/T. Allen
Pierce/Barnes
KG/Powe
Perkins/Brown
So, True. I think many of us would kill to be min or Boston right now because atleast they have some sort of plan.

scratch him off the list 
do they really need a ball handler? i think they would need someone who could play d and make shots when the other 3 get double teamed..

They managed to keep Rondo. Knight would have been useful for experience, but Rondo is a defensive roleplaying PG -- that's the absolute ideal for a team built around megastars like this. Everybody else stay out of the way and play your best basketball WITHOUT the ball. Hence Rondo and Perkins are nice fits. The stars dominate the offensive side, and Rondo (at the point) and Perkins (inside) concentrate on getting the ball back on the other end. Brevin's problem would have been that KG and Pierce would have been the main ball handlers/creaters on the offesnive end, and Brevin without the ball isn't his strength. Rondo's only problem is he can't shoot, and ideally your defensive roleplaying PG would be able to hit all the wide open spot up shots he's sure to get as teams scramble around trying to find ways to double three separate players. Of course given that he's playing next to Paul Pierce and Ray Allen, maybe its better if the PG doesn't shoot.
P.S. And if the C's managed to keep Gomes as a 6th man as well...

Isn't that heresy for a Lakers fan?
I mean, I can at least go back to the days before the Kings came to Sacramento when, as I've mentioned numerous times, I actually was a Celtics fan.
You, dear Gargy, don't have that excuse.

(I enjoyed watching Bird of course -- only him tho). It should be interesting to see those 3 deal w/ the sort of high expectations that they've never really encountered. All of them are fairly virginal when it comes to winning a truly tough series.
i guess ESPN is reporting this trade to be official.. check it out..
