They get caught up in the mainstream thinking that the Celtics are too old, too slow, and too soft to compete in todays NBA. That they should trade Pierce, Ray Allen, and KG to get younger and more mediocre. Sorry, the Celtics need and demand quality and can always reload on former Middle Class Free Agents on 1 year contracts to prove themselves. And build through the draft and foriegn free agents. You must preserve your winning culture with high character guys. There is no place in this league for the Sydney Wicks, Curtis Rowes, Todd Day's, Greg Minor's, and  more recently the Mark Blounts. We need to avoid taking on bad overpaid players "looking for a fresh start". Doc Rivers will nail their butts to the bench real quick.

So the best solution is get as far as you can with this group and reload over the summer with younger, hungrier athletes with a desire to succeed and learn the Celtics of Doc River's way. Just saw Bill Simmons idea of two number ones and JO for Side Show Bob. Only problem is Joakim Noak, Bosh, Haslem, Pachulia and others would kick Varejao's butt on the inside so no thank you. Now if you want to throw in Rondo for Kyle Irving instead that might be a consideration but we need our two number ones to get young assets to increase our chances of acquiring a MAJOR piece.

So as we go through the next eight games which I hope get our winning % up, that Danny be patient and avoid trade busts.

I still think they need to blow it up.

Wins against Washington and the Raptors without Bargnani do nothing to convince me this team can beat the Heat or Bulls in the playoffs.  Wins against the dregs of the NBA do nothing to convince me it's best to get nothing out of KG and Ray when they walk in a few months.

Would you be OK trading KG to Detroit for Charlie Villaneuva and Ben Gorden?

Ray Allen to Denver for Al Harrington and Corey Brewer?

Would a win against the Los Angelos Lakers and Chicago Bulls over the next two weeks change your mind?

what do those trades have to do with anything?  they certainly weren't proposed in the article you seemed to have a problem with.

Perhaps the point he is making is that if people want to 'blow it up', they need legitimate offers for our players.
