Danny Ainge on WEEI'S The Big Show Today @ 4pm

[Spilling Green Dye]

I'm bad luck for Ainge on eei. I don't think I ever hear him live.

Pretty Epic Story:

I live in Tampa and have only called into WEEI once... just about 3 years ago to the date.  I had been listening to Danny, and stayed on hold for 30 minutes until finally they said "ok, Mike in Tampa, you're on with Danny."  I was a bit nervous but asked about his plans that summer, any big moves, financial landscape of the team, etc.

I hadn't thought about that until now, but it must have been a week or two before the Ray & KG trades.  After hanging up I had the feeling he had definite plans for something... but wasn't saying.  Wow, pretty weird to think of now!

God i logged into WEEI, and i feel like killing myself with these nitwits yelling at each otehr and the caller(s)...

ugh, maybe Rick Pitino was right (on this one thing): fellowship of the miserable.

You can subscribe to their Celtics podcast which captures all the major NBA insider interviews they do. Saves you from listening to the idiot callers. And you get a little less of the idiot hosts.

I can't take much more of Michael Holley.

They just said that Orlando offered Nelson and Carter for CP3.

That is a junk offer.. if I were New Orleans I wouldn't even acknowledge that trade, let alone consider it..

[guava_wrench]

Would CP3 Rashard and Dwight be a better big three than PP, Ray and KG in 2008?

That would be an insane trio, though you never know what the team defense will be like ahead of time, and that was the calling card of the 2008 team.

CP3 and Howard would be ridiculous. Non-stop alley oops. Impossible to defend.

It is a question of how much salary relief they would get. They might have a problem making payroll if they can't sell the team. (A bit of an exaggeration)

Carter's contract is partially guaranteed. They could cut him, and save millions.

But I agree, Jameerkat Nelson is not enough in return for a franchise point guard.

So.... What's he saying guys?

He denied rumor about going to Phoenix.

Doc will meet with his family this weekend, and will probably make a decision shortly after, maybe as soon as next week.

Seems Sheed is going to retire. Nothings officialy, but Danny says that physically Sheed can't do the things that he wants to. That's pretty good news to me.

[EmilioBonilla]

He believes Rasheed will retire this year because he's been talking about it all season long....know what that means???

Hello Mr. Trading Chip

[vinnie]

He just said again, "with Rasheed retiring," so definitely sounds like a done deal. Also said may have to trade for a center or get one in free agency
