I have to give Danny some well due respect. KG, Paul P and Rondo have all left Boston via trade with no hard feelings. (Ray left free agency) Danny never traded Ray maybe because Ray himself vetoed the trade. So Danny respected that.
Many people around here say why would a star want to lay for Boston just to feel unwanted or like they will get traded. I think he has treated his stars with ultimate respect.
Reports came out that Rondo would only sign long term with Dallas and Houston. As many of you know that limits you big time. It also drives down value. For Danny to get what he did from 3 players (2 past their prime) all that we did was amazing. Not to mention he gave those players an opportunity to win. It has been a perfect example of good general dynamics for all parties involved. Danny now has 1st round picks, a solid group of young players. A well respected coach and some very valuable Trade exceptions and a of course the best, opinionated fans in Basketball!
Players, coaches around the league respect our coach(pop), GM and the organization.
WE FANS still think we can make the play offs this year with the squad WE HAVE NOW. I do, and with all the cards we are holding something fun is going to happen. Lets stop thinking we know more than the people that get paid millions. And cheer for our team. And maybe the Mavs, OKC, CLippers, Nets and Wiz once in a while. But never when they play us! Its time to stop looking over our shoulder and eyes ahead!
