So in essence, Ainge gave up Perk the year we were looking like the best team in the East for Green and then traded Green for 80 year old Tayshaun Prince.

Nope, he traded Green for a 1st round pick and an expiring contract.

True, but gpap has somewhat of a point, I think.  At the time of the Perk trade, it was justified as a bridge to the future, as there was concern that Perk would leave in free agency.  Green was supposed to be a building block.

Now, the net proceeds of the Perk trade look like Fab Melo and a future #1.  I think it's fair to ask whether diminishing our chances at a championship were worth that return.

If you believe that Perk was the difference between championship and not, then in retrospect the answer is an obvious "no".
But, haven't we already been down this back and forth path many, many, many times before?

Oh, for sure.  At the same time, I think it bolsters the argument that teams should maximize their chances at a championship when they're true contenders, rather than worrying too much about the future.

Yes, I can agree with this.

It will soon be the end of an error.

What error? Ainge?

Green

I wish you would post more, and more detailed. I never saw eye to eye with you, but you were the best Ainge-hater poster on the scene in the mid aughts.  ;D

And the re-emergence of Scintan.

Hater that he may be, seriously, Scintan is a great poster who I missed during the good times. Ainge and Stevens will have plenty of their supporters backing them up, but Scintan will help keep the majority of us honest until things take an upswing.

I miss him like the deserts miss the rain. I think once he said he was a lawyer, which would make sense.

Pondexter would be a great pickup for NOP. Great place for him to get his career back on track after troublesome injuries.

A whole bunch of factors (Oddly enough, not one of them had to do with the Celtics) led me to step away from the site.

Either way, an expiring and a first is a decent return for someone who Ainge is obviously considering that is not part of the future moving forward.

Odd. Why does Pondexter to NOP need to be wrapped into this deal? Seems like there are some details missing here.
