I hope we´ll have 3 players in Toronto. Thomas, Smart, Olynyk.

+ Tons of cap space to spend.

Congrats to IT4.

And even bigger props to Danny Ainge.  So glad he is our GM.  He wanted IT4 as a free agent, and then traded very late 1st round pick for him.

Now we have an All-Star PG making half what Tristan Thompson makes, and a 3rd of what Demare Carrol makes.  What a trade.

And the Crowder and AB contracts. Dude is a genius

I'm really happy for Isaiah, he not only deserves to be an All-Star but I think he will really bring his energy to the game, which generally needs it.

And I don't want to get carried away but if he catches fire during the game and the East wins, he could very well be named MVP!

If I was a gambling man, I'd have a small wager on that...

Great for Thomas.  He's played really well.  Getting selected probably doesn't make a big difference one way or the other, but maybe having a real life allstar on the roster helps our ability to lure talent in free agency this Summer. 

Pretty awesome that Ainge landed an all-star for a lowly late 1st round pick (via the Cavs).  If only we could turn all of picks into all-stars.

Great stuff.

He deserved to be there. He's done a ton for the Celtics this year, and I'm glad he's being recognized.

COOL!

We got an All Star for a late first that we got in a salary dump. Danny Ainge is a freaking god.

Not bad for a "bench player", which is how a few here have described him.

Kelly will probably be in Toronto regardless of whether or not he gets an invite to the three point shoot out.

Very deserving. I agree with the rest, what a great trade by Ainge to get this guy. Competes on both ends despite being at a disadvantage.
