Grantland lists us as one of the draft losers.
The Celtics. What?s the plan here? The Celtics tanked this season, and it wasn?t until they tried to trade for Love that we all realized quite how barren that roster is. Beyond draft picks, all they had to offer were guys like Kelly Olynyk, Jeff Green and his gigantic deal, Jared Sullinger ? It was a pretty depressing reality check.
Now they have Marcus Smart as a point guard next to Rajon Rondo, plus James Young as a shooting guard who?s got tons of potential, but may not be ready to put it together for the next few years. I liked Young a lot, as a player who could develop on a good team in the mid-teens, like Phoenix. But Boston?s not that team.
Yeah, it's beginning to sink in that the Dark Ages are back - and that all the talk about fireworks was season ticket renewal hyperbole. If you renewed, you've been taken.
It feels exactly like Rick Pitino has walked through that door.
Meh, these the sky is falling exaggerated post are becoming a bit absurd. We're merely a year after we gutted our team to begin our rebuilding effort, and you guys are surprised that suddenly we might be a bit thin on players with actual value?

A very absurd analysis from Grantland, none of that has anything to do with the Draft. And just because ONE team with a bit of an idiot running the basketball operations there didn't care for our package, doesn't mean what those paragraphs suggest.
There's an exaggeration throughout the fan base that Green has no value and that we don't have any valuable players. Well of course, we're merely a year removed from beginning our rebuilding process in earnest.
Our other valuable commodity is Avery Bradley who basically is hard to use in a trade given that he'll be a free-agent right now, a restricted one at that. Very hard to move as it is. And then you have Rondo, which if you're going to move for Love on a one year rental it would be pointless to acquire if you're using Rondo to get him.
We have players with plenty of value, they're simply not at the right moment to trade them, or are still to young for their real value to materialize... and given than we're only a year removed from "gutting our team of talent" I don't see what the whole fuzz is about.
The hilarious part of all this is that Minnesota has yet to find a suitor, even from those supposed teams with a multitude of talented players...
So, is this really about Boston's valuable assets or is it more about Minnesota and their fantasies?
