Celtics Dynasty or Celtics Destiny?

[xmuscularghandix]

1970- with the 4th pick in the 7th round the Celtics draft Charlie Scott, (but he decides to take up an offer to play in the ABA instead)

1972- The Phoenix suns sign ABA superstar Charlie Scott. He avg's 25 pts, 4 reb, 6 ast in first season.

1972- becuase Charlie Scott was drafted by the Celtics, The suns were required to compensate. The Boston Celtics receive Paul Silas.

1973- Boston Celtics draft Paul Westphal with the 10th overall pick in the NBA draft.

1973/1974- Celtics Win their 12th Championship 

1975- Paul Westphal is dealt to the Phoenix Suns for Charlie Scott and future considerations.

1975/1976- Celtics win their 13th Championship (defeating Paul Westphal and the Phoenix Suns)


1976- with the 29th overall pick the Seattle Supersonics Draft Dennis Johnson.

1980- the Seattle Supersonics trade Dennis Johnson to the Phoenix Suns for Paul Westphal.

1983- Celtics trade Rick Robey to Phoenix Suns in return for Dennis "DJ" Johnson



It's like us signing DJ in 83 wouldn't have happened if our 7th round pick in 1970 wanted to play in the NBA, or if he never got sick of the ABA, or if we didn't trade Westphal for him 5 years later.

Theres so many of these wierd coincidences throughout the history of the celtics. i'm actually writing everything i find and will eventually post it on here.
