They are so lame , it would be better to finish at the bottom than and ride out the season and get the highest drafts we can.  We don't have enought talent  to continue with what we have, need to drop out of this situation all together , ride out or trade the contracts off ASAP , put allout pennies in the bank and draft our way back up the ladder. Would be nice to be LA and have STARS begging to play here, but appears that an't happening with out futher global warming.

.0001 % chance of getting DH , he would have to WANT to come here.... so its probally gonna be the Lottery for the Celtics.....

They will, but the franchise would be better off in the future if they didn't and just tanked for a lottery pick.

I don't believe so... because I don't think this will be the same team come playoff time.  Danny is going to make a trade... It's only a matter of when not if. 

Edit:  Ainge could wait until the offseason, but it all depends on whether he finds the right deal.  You can bet your life that Danny is looking at all options right now

I don't like the idea of us making comebacks but not completing them, but it's better than being blown out the water from start to finish.

I'd hate to be the guy the OP expects to happen upon this topic, but if asking this question after 10 games isn't reactionary, I don't know what is.

A better question to me is if our window is closing...MUCH more substantial conversation, IMO, can be gained from that.

But, we're already gonna miss the playoffs after 10 games? Maybe if we were 0-10, I'd agree....but thinking we're not getting in the playoffs one game out of 8th place with 56 games to go? It seems like you're setting yourself up to disappoint, as opposed to really believing that.
