It's a real shame this guy doesn't have the maturity to reach his full potential. For his body and athleticism, he should be dominating EVERY night, but in all the years he has been in the NBA he has never worked on a reliable shot enough, nor had his head in the game every night.
If you could put Kobe/MJ/TD's brain inside this guy, he could be been the best C ever.

Exactly. He's the equivalent of Johnny Football in the NBA. Just a supremely talented douche.

Brad Stevens was a sly great move by Ainge IMO! Will pay off few years down the road.

Build through Lottery first few years ** Cough NBA fixes draft lottery for Wiggins to wear Celtics Green cough cough**


Sign a few free agents.... Back in business.

I'd trade Rondo to highest bidder.. Might as well drain the swamp completely. lakers should follow suit, but their current leadership minus the late great Buss, are too stupid to realize it.

yeah i think it's a great move for them.

lots of teams tanking this year ... it's gonna get ridiculous to see who tanks the worst ...

Allen Iverson retired yesterday.

Allen Iverson earned more then $200 million over his career.

You can buy lots of rings with $49M. :geek:

Finishing with the Lakers is the right move. Legacy is more important then another ring.

yes ... they've put together a real team - everyone knows their roles there ... they play unselfishly and they've been together for a relatively long period now as a unit ... and they are young ...

I'd like to shoot the person who first used "legacy" in regard to athletes :x

I agree, but the two biggest factors were the huge upgrading of the bench and the fact that we're making shots. We've always taken good shots and played smart I thought, we just didn't shoot well. Looks like the off season has helped out a lot.

I remember the glory days of Clyde, Kersey, Porter, & Buck. Always enjoyed watching the Blazers when I was a kid. It's good to see them get back to winning again. That game against my Pacers last week was one of the best basketball games I've seen in years.

Yes, especially the Atlantic division is a joke.
Just compare the record of Eastern and Western 8th spots.
