Okay, we're all a bit peeved that a team that could win 19 straight games could also lose 5 of 7 games in the same season. The bench stinks, Doc is the worst coach to ever win a championship, Danny Ainge completely screwed up this whole team this off season. KG is starting his decline. Ray Allen can't hit clutch shots anymore. Pierce should never be allowed to be the ball up the court. Powe isn't good. Baby is worse. Tony Allen is barely an NBA talent. Scal isn't an NBA talent. Perk can't even put a ball back without dribbling or winding up never mind catch a pass. Rondo is wild and can't shoot. The rest of the bench may as well not exist.

Everything above is an angry over reaction. But why stop there. Let's have some fun. Let's make a trade and include one starter in the trade and see if we could make this team better. Get creative. Three ways are good. The more the merrier. You can include as many bench players as you want and/or second rounders. The stipulation is that you can include only one starter and it has to check out on ESPN Trade Machine. Here's that link:

After a few days I'll put out a poll and we can vote on the winner. Winner gets 17 TP's plus one more TP because that trade will bring another NBA banner.

Have fun.

You never said that in the OP, I maintain that my trade is legit and will make Kobe Bryant kill someone/himself.

OK, I'm officially out.  If it's not a sarcastic trade I don;t have the heart for it.
