As far as the Celtics go you don't know much about them do you..lol. Barbosa wants or wanted to be traded and Bass has been benched for Sullinger. If Bradley can stay healthy he will be a good player mostly because of his defense. Terry has been awful and Courtney Lee sucks as well. This team now is in big trouble..

I am talking about these players as being support players, not becoming full-time superstars. Bass, Sullinger, Green, Barbosa, and Bradley (maybe Melo, with time) are a very, very solid supporting cast for Rondo and 2 more superstars. Teams aren't stacking with 10 all-NBA players. Take Cleveland, for example. You can tell they rebuilt that team around core players that will one day support 3 or 4 superstars. Boston is getting to that model now. They have the core guys and will have increasingly better draft picks and a buttload of cap space to do that. That team is not bad, if you can add 2 or 3 top notch players.
