I can't afford to drive up to LA and shell out hundreds of dollars for crap seats to see a Laker game, yet I am a die hard fan with dreams of going someday.

I am going to about 12 games this year, and the first round of the playoffs, for sure.
Depending on how this team finishes next year and their moves, I plan on going to 25+ next year when my job is more flexible.
I have tickets to the 2 Cavs games, Spurs, Wizards, as of now but I plan on buying the Thunder, Kings and another game or so.
I live at home, I dont pay rent, all I do is pay school loans so I can take chances and I live 10 minutes away from the Garden.
I just hate shelling out 100+ for friends who dont pay AND watching the Celtics suck BALLS lately.

Ouch! If that's true he's probably done along with the C's. I guess it depends on the severity of the injury but Martell Webster missed all but five minutes last year with a stress fracture on his foot and Travis Outlaw likely will have missed at least 3 1/2 months by time he comes back from the same type of injury.
Injuries suck, they ruin teams.

If its a "weeks" injury, then thats fine. But if its months, we need to deal Ray Allen and rebuild a bit

Peja is a worse ball player than Ray Allen and signed for longer and a worse deal.
If we can get Chris Paul, then the Celtics will take Peja, bout the only way anyone would take that garbage.
I want Monta Ellis or this pu-pu platter that the Sportsguy thought up:
CHI gets R.Allen/House expirings (2010 cap space!); SAC gets Deng + T.Allen/Scal exp's; BOS gets K.Martin, Nocioni + Hinrich. Who says no?

Who says no? Isn't that Sportsguy Bill Simmons? I think he's a Celtics homer, so obviously he's going to bring up these obnoxiously bad trades. At this point I would be up for trading Peja for a bowl of gumbo.

His trade makes sense, believe it or not.
Chicago wants to dump Hinrich, and if they dump Deng they will have a BILLION dollars ready for a chance to go after Lebron, Bosh etc
Sacramento has Kevin Martin playing the same position as Tyreke Evans, and there is no way they can co-exist, so Martin will have to go. Nocioni has a bad deal on a team with a ton of cap space looking to get younger.
This deal KILLS the Celtics cap for the next 3 years, but it makes them better.
Will it happen? Probably not, but it makes sense

Pierce has an insane 21 million dollar player option for next year which he will exercise, then be a FA after 2011. Garnett after 12. So technically they do have to resign him, but they can wait. He will retire a Celtic, Garnett just might retire in 2 years if his knee is all messed up still

Cavs are looking really tough right now... Huge game from LeBron and Shaq showed signs of life as well.

What Ainge did was a once in a lifetime thing. It was luck, the right guys were available at the right time for the right cost. You can't just keep trading pieces around and expect to compete for a title every year. That's not realistic and that's not how you rebuild in the NBA.
For the C's, this year is it.(same with Spurs) If it doesn't happen in June it's not gonna happen again for a very very long time.

I wonder where Bosh is going in the off season. He could realy help out a good team get over the hump.

Before the Celtics aged so poorly this year, I wouldnt say this was the ONLY year they can win it, same with the Spurs.
I still find it hard to believe people are making assumptions in February, no trade deadline yet, no buy outs....still a long way to go.
I think the Spurs and the Celtics can keep their window a few more years, but its all moot of Kevin Garnett's knee is never going to be the same, but its not impossible

Bosh definitely needs to be on a team where he isn't counted on to be the best player on the floor every night. More often than not, he can be that guy, but not consistently enough over the course of a season or several seasons. My money would be on him landing in Miami to play with Wade. And that would make them one of the 2 or 3 best teams in the league as long as they would have a supporting cast that complemented their strengths.

I wouldn't bet on Bosh going to Miami. Especially since they already have Wade to worry about in the Offseason.

They'll also have enough cap space to sign Wade to a max extension (though I'd bet he'll leave more than a few million on the table in exchange for a better team) and a second player to a near-max extension. They're positioned as well as any team going into this offseason.
