imagine if we kept billups and joe johnson?

Thinking about it..our rebuild around pierce shouldn't have taken as long as it did. Imagine had the celts not traded billips and joe johnson in their rookie years. We would've contended a lot sooner

That's why I'm more confident going into this rebuild. We have a great coach and ownership/gm who are willing to do whatever to make uscontend. I know we all have a bad taste in our mouths from the pre big3 years but I trust ainge to make the right moves and get us back to the top

also singing guys like travis knight and chris mills to big contracts really killed cap room too, thanks a lot Pitino
