Really like Thornton's attitude.  He has been  huge off the bench this year. We have never really had a guy like him in a while.  Prob last guy was Barbosa and before that Eddie House

I would not mind extending Thornton to a 2 or 3 year at 5 million a season.  He prob knows he won't be getting anything better from anywhere else

Totally agree with the Barbosa/House timeline, might be the first thing you and I have agreed upon in this blog.  I also wouldn't mind extending Thornton (if fact he's probably my favorite Celtics player, though I doubt he won't get a better offer somewhere else).

Everybody is wondering what you do when you have achieved more than expected, could bring players in for a big playoff push and who knows what this coach might get out of this team. NBA seasons have a life like that that maybe baseball does but football doesn't, you are good for a period and want to enjoy it - imagine the most it could be - but still have to deal with concepts like reality and perspective.

Reality - We have some players who are proving they can contribute in a title side. We have assets that could/hopefully will bring in the extra two or three (or four?) pieces we need.

Perspective - 2015 is not a title we are aiming for and the playoffs, while desirable, will be icing. We are doing enough to convince the players we want that they will be coming into a winning environment with players who can compete.

I am happy the the team are going well, we could pick up someone who raises our level and the playoffs are being talked about. I will not be unhappy if we don't trade, continue the way we are going and look attractive going into next season.

Oh, you kids...you're so sweet.  It's just that...mommy and Danny have done a lot of thinking and...well, maybe you won't understand yet my sweets.  Sometimes though, mommies and Dannys have to make decisions that will leave you a little confused and hurt, but in the long term will be best for everyone. 

You saw Uncle Roy's post this morning that maybe there has been some arguing a lot lately and some of the family around here have been grumpy grumps with each other.  Well, mommy and Danny have to make a move that will work for everybody long term, not just this school year.

Dearest Brandon, don't blame yourself, I want you to know that it's not your fault.  And Evan, sweet Evan, you're going to love your new home.  How could I forget you, Marcus Thorton, just because we have another Marcus here, it doesn't meant that we love you any less.  Well, maybe a little less than new Marcus.  But it's not your fault....

This post was perfection.
