tockpiled a large collection of draft picks, which puts him in a position to do just about anything at the deadline. Grande says that could even include something unthinkable at the beginning of the season."It’s not going to surprise me if the Celtics suddenly became surprise buyers at the deadline instead of sellers."www.csnne/article/grande-celtics-could-be-surprise-buyersQuote“We would do a deal to make our team better and use assets to get better right away,” Ainge, who is remaining back home to work the phones this weekend, said yesterday. “And we would also move veteran players to create flexibility and get draft picks. So we could go either way right now. But right now I think it’s a feeling-out process.”Don’t misunderstand him when he talks about improvement now. He is not looking to move the Celts a few rungs up the ladder.“I’m not talking about getting three wins better,Nike Free Run 2 Kids Black Red,” the Celts’ president of basketball operations said. “I’m talking about being able to be significantly better next year.”But, yes, he is willing to look at opportunities that would jump the C’s out of the lottery picture this year. He will not refuse if an opposing team wants to make him an offer that’s one-sided ― in his favor.“I mean, I have some deals that I would do,” Ainge said with a laugh, “but I don’t have a trading partner as of this moment.”With the league on break for All-Star weekend, there seems to be a lot of stage-setting talk.“Right now there’s just a lot of people trying to feel out what everybody’s trying to accomplish,” Ainge said. “A lot of it is teams wanting to find out where everybody is in case there’s a chance to do a three- or four-team, multiple-team deal, in case there isn’t something that will work with just two teams.“But I think everybody’s still trying to figure out what are the goals of each team going forward. And some teams don’t have as clear goals as other teams have.”The best trade talk seems to be emanating from more creative sources. The only problem is it’s not based in reality. For example, it’s been written that the Knicks would like to have Rajon Rondo and are willing to take on bad contracts and give the Celts more flexibility to do it.But, of course, Ainge isn’t about to give up his best asset for no real major asset in return.“I honestly haven’t paid that much attention to it,” he said. “I’ve been asked those questions before, but I don’t know anything about those rumors. It’s all a little crazy.”
How would you prefer that the Celtics be built:a) A team full of super-athletes with long arms and height who can039;t shoot and struggle in general to score.b) A team full of players without superlative physical gifts or size but great skill (passing, shooting,Free Run 2 Kids Black RoyalBlue, finishing) and feel for the game who are not naturally good defenders.Obviously, a great team requires both types of players,Free Trainer 5.0 Black White, generally speaking, or players that are a mix of the two. But if you can only choose one, which do you choose?
