Bold move, Boston has given up the future to try and compete now. They might be able to win the east with the team they've built, but I can't see them competing with SA/Dallas/Phoenix.

You just beat me to it!! It's still not official, but looks like it will get there.

Good move for the Celts, but no bench if you ask me. It will still be hard to beat the Teams you mentioned though.

so what's next for the Lakers? J.O??

Great move for Boston.

Pierce-Allen-Garnett?

That's quite an allstar roster.

And to think Pierce got what he wanted and more, whereas the situation in LA.......

Kupchack is the NBA's answer to Bill Stoneman only dumber.

Good move for the Wolves. Jefferson is a beast, is 8 years younger and makes 20 million a year less than KG.

Boston also had a crop of talented young players (a result of sucking all those years) and large expiring contracts, something L.A. does not.

but he doesn't bring the "Franchise player" name to the Wolves nor can he lead or bring excitement like Garnett.

One of my favorite players headed to one of my favorite teams

NICE

How I have to hear Vick the Brick and Thompson complain about how the Lakers didn't pull this deal.

A winning team will bring more excitement than Garnett and four scrubs.

Yeah, but thats on Kobe man. Too much money trapped up in one guy. Kobe will never bring L.A. a championship on his own and there will be no talented players coming to L.A. because there isn't enough money to go around. Sure, you could blame the GM for signing him to such an awful deal.

No, that's not. Kobe is worth a max deal.

Plenty of teams make it work with a max deal players. The Lakers don't have tradeable assets because they have drafted crap, have signed crap, and haven't had any lottery picks except Bynum in a decade.

Did he repeat that three or four times in the following two minutes like he does with every other "great" point he makes?
