Famous broken clock Sherrod had an article on IT just prior to the ASG. Interesting read.

Speaking of A. Sherrod, he was on fire last night on the Trade Deadline special.  Abby asked him who are the building blocks on this team.  He rattles of everyone except for Smart and Young.  Then Abby asked who has the highest upside of all the young guys.  He picks the 23 soon to be 24 year old KO over the 20 year old Smart.  He really is out of touch huh??  It kind of makes you wonder how'd he get that gig???

Overall great move by DA.. Only giving up and expired contract and a late 1st round pick for a guy who can create like Rondo off dribble, shoots 40% from 3, and has a cap friendly contract 7mil/year..

Will benefit off of Stevens analytical approach ...
Welcome..

I just wondering where his minutes are going to come from? If I had to guess, i'd say Turner and Bradley mostly. Not to mention Pressey.

I think Turner should start at SF. With Crowder and Young coming off the bench. Young should get some minutes at SG too.

I'm not a big fan of Isiah Thomas (Pistons) but he says some really nice things about the Celtics in this article:

If his father hadn't lost the bet, what would his name be? James? Ervin? Mychal? (If he'd been conceived four years earlier, his name could have been Larry, lol, or Danny!)

But KO does have a high upside. When you are at the bottom the only place to go is up.
