d Jabari Parker or Andrew Wiggins. Even if we don039;t land Wiggins or Parker, a top 5 - 8 pick in the 2014 draft is worth it039;s weight in gold and is still plenty to land an all star caliber player.With a lineup of something like this in 2015 going into 2016...PG Eric BledsloeSG Free agent shooting guard e.g. Klay ThompsonSF Jabari Parker/Andrew Wiggins/2014 Lottery pickPF Jared Sullinger or Free agent big e.g. Marc Gasol, DeMarcus Cousins.C Nerlens Noel.+ the Bulls late lottery pick+ whatever we get for Jeff Green+ Whatever we get for Avery Bradley + whatever we get for DeAndre Jordan Even if we don039;t end up getting Wiggins or Parker and just pulled off the Pierce trade, after moving Jordan, Green and Bradley we039;d still have a core ofRondoBledsloeGlen Rice Jr (or other SF draft pick)SullyCousinsYoung,Air Jordan 13 Blue Grey White, athletic and most importantly lots of value to trade and get better with the 2015/16 free agents classes coming up. Also not good enough to make the playoffs but entertaining and athletic enough to sell season tickets. Probably finishing in the bottom 6-8 teams or worse if there039;s an injury or two, giving us a great shot at an all star or even a franchise superstar if we get lucky enough.Demarcus Cousins will be a restricted free agent in 2014, and one has to wonder if the Kings will want to commit a max contract to him. Would a package of Green, Bradley and Deandre Jordan pry him from Sacramento? I think it would have a very good shot at doing so.Furthermore, with studs like Marc Gasol and Klay Thompson coming in to free agency we039;d have plenty of room and the coach and roster to attract the biggest fish to Boston.Obviously we039;d have to get lucky in the draft like OKC has done but Danny and Doc are masters at building value in talented young guys. By the time free agency comes around for Jeff Green he039;s either an all star or we can trade him because we039;ve developed another solid small forward (hopefully a game changer like Cousins)I can only dare to dream but this is my Celtics dream.
With all the talk about Noel around here, I was trying to think of some great NBA players born and raised in the Boston area. None were popping into my head. I039;m sure there must be some, though.Can anyone think of any great NBA player out of Boston or the surrounding area? A top ten list?
Cuban is on record as saying he won039;t trade Dirk. So he has to commit to surrounding him with talent to win another ring. The Mavs only have 38 million dollars of salary on the books assuming OJ Mayo declines his player option (4 mill) and tests free agency. So my question is this,Nike Free Trainer 5.0, who says no to Pierce,Nike Air Max 2013 Blue, Garnett and Terry for the 13th pick and Shawn Marion. Dallas isn039;t going to be a contender adding the 13th pick. Dallas is probably fourth on Dwight Howard039;s list and Josh Smith doesn039;t really fit along side Dirk. They add these three Celtics to play alongside Dirk and they are suddenly a very experienced playoff team, that has proven they have a shooters chance at beating anyone.The Celtics add the 13th pick to
