We really have 3 paths

[rasta1]

1) The big three finally get it and step up...it must feel terrible for them to be losing at this stage of their career. I would hope at least...they need to muster some type of strength...i don't know when but they need to find a switch it at least make it into the playoffs...be it winning 20 in a row to sneak in after a crap start...idk players of Pierce/KG/Allen's caliber definately have the will power

2) We trade the big three for draft picks for this season. we could possibly end up with 5 draft picks this season. The clips, a pick for Pierce, a pick for KG, a pick for Allen, and our own pick which would be pretty high. In this draft we could draft our entire starting lineup for the future and a 6th man...With the talent coming up, i'm down to have a ton of draft picks that way even if players don't pan out we have others to look forward to

3) I brought this idea up at the end of last season: Rondo + JO + A pick or something for Steve Nash + Gortat...i feel like it's perfect for our team. And Steve Nash could bring some fire to this team...he doesn't have a ring of his own like the rest of the big three...he could be a pretty big presence to push the guys


If we don't take any of them...i'm kind of worried about the team and it's future

2 wont happen, ainge wants young talent in return not just picks.  im all for picks but get some players as well.

I don't like 3. The whole nash trade rumors worked when we thought we had another shot with the big 3. but one good way to NOT rebuild is to replace a 26 year old pg for a 37 year old one no matter how good he is.

young talent is the only path ainge is gonna take, maybe with a pick thrown in.

I've been a staunch supporter of your Celts/Suns trade. However, Gortat has become their best player (see last night) and don't see Phoenix giving him up. Channing Frye might be more realistic

I would rather spread out the picks over the next few years than 5 rookies on the same team.

It'll make it very difficult to develop all those guys at once if 5 rookies come on board at once.
