Why would Ray and KG want to come back here? It's not like they played their whole career's here. Why should they have any loyalty to Boston? It's a business, and at this point of their career's, they want to go to established teams that can win a championship. Sorry to break it to you, but that won't be us for many years. Ray is going to want at least a couple years and who knows, KG might retire. He certainly doesn't want to come back here and play Center again.
And I love the whole, "just sign a max guy and sign KG/Ray on the cheap", stuff. What max guy??? You can't just make stuff up. Howard and Deron want NO part of Boston, just like every young hip hop generation NBA player. After that, there's a bunch of garbage out there. Some of you are, let's just say "recent fans", and only know success, and think we're going to be good all the time. Nope. Just ask anyone who suffered the Sherman Douglas years. That's not how it works. We need to build through the draft, and Ainge and company delayed that a year by not moving, at least Ray, at the deadline.
