Looks like James Harden has been To the Rockets for Jeremey Lamb, Kevin Martin and future picks. Plus... this is a general NBA thread.

Sadly, in Boston, people care so much about "what have you done for me lately" vs. what what can you do for me in 5 years.

If Ainge was in KC, he'd be a hero even if the next few years were painful. In Boston, in a few years, I bet there's a mutiny and peopl call for his head.

people have been calling for his head since he traded perkins for jeff ****ing green and nenad krstic

We will see if they do over the long haul, it certainly seems to be the case when he has missed a game or two.

I will disagree with the rest of your post. The guy wants to win more than anything . He is not the reason for example they gave up a 27 point lead to the Hawks in the last game or shitty last second shots against the Knicks\Hawks and turning the ball over.

Rightfully so. He destroyed a championship team

Interesting place for Boston. Do you sell off the vets to begin the rebuilding now? These older guys would be valuable to teams on the cusp. Or, do you make a play for a stop gap like Calderon and give a guy like Bradley the chance to really blossom without having to be THE guy at PG while still trying to win?

That was a foul by Lebron. BS

He also built a championship team and a team that limped into the conference championship last year. In KC, he would be a hero. In Boston, he becomes a martyr.

Think he's at least earned the right to take the time to rebuild the thing.

Green just posterized Bosh

Well that would depend if the one in KC had won 17 World Championships or just 1.

I would compare the situation of the Celtics\Lakers to KU basketball. You don't see many KU fans accepting losing.

I would let this play out for a couple more weeks and see how this team responds. If they keep their losing ways probably best to sell off what they can.

I have always hated the Celtics, and I have always hated Rondo. Hate to see him have that injury though.

[dirk digler]

Celtics up 4 with one minute left. Not going to get my hopes up though
