It's all nice to dream of all these future trades/deals to get (insert star player here) to play for the C's so the Celtics don't miss a beat when the Big Three are done.

Realistic fans knew the window of opportunity was small and WE DID GET A CHAMPIONSHIP. But we all knew after it was all over (retirements, decline in play due to age/injuries) that the Celtics were going to be reoccurring lotto team for a few years.

With that said, Does anyone think we can get Kevin Love for Harangody and a 2011 second round pick this year?

The Celtics will only be as mediocre/terrible as Rajon Rondo and Danny Ainge allow them to be.

  Those would be the same realistic fans that knew that this core's team's window closed well before the playoffs started last year?

I'd rather have Blake Griffin. Maybe we can throw in a conditional future 2nd rounder (worse than 55th) to make that happen.

Turnabout is fair play. All indications last year were that KG was done, and everyone who said that (including me) is now considered "wrong" and had a giant "W" branded into their forehead by a red-hot coathanger.

Well i just did myself...I assume you guys did it too.

Not sure about that. The window was 3-4 years when the Big Three first got together.

It was 3 years....and another 2 to 3 years was added with the unexpected emergence of Rondo. That original 3 year window was with pretty low expectations out of our PG and C

After Rondo, Dwight Howard, Blake Griffin and Kevin Durant get done hanging Banner 29.

After 18 months with their Bigs, the Littles were: 46% less likely to use illegal drugs, 27% less likely to use alcohol, 52% less likely to skip school, 37% less likely to skip a class

Turnabout is fair play. All indications last year were that KG was done, and everyone who said that (including me) is now considered "wrong" and had a giant "W" branded into their forehead by a red-hot coathanger.

Well i just did myself...I assume you guys did it too.

  I thought all indications were that KG was still recovering from his knee injury.  I just tend to scoff at the use if the "realistic" label,.

I scoff at these ridiculous trades people come up with, so I guess we're even.

According to whom besides a bunch of posters,and some overly dramatic NBA analysts that KG was done last year?I never heard that thru anyone with real knowledge of what is going on with players.Personally i never felt he was done.

Well, no one is going to "trade" for luke.  If K Love is a free agent....or Zach Randolph and they want to be Celtics.....Play with Rondo, those guys would fit well with someone who likes to feed them on the post, like Stockton & Malone...... You never know who wants to go where.

Id rather trade Wafer for Howard. With the way the Magic are trading away their bigs i saw they go for it.
