Celtics Big Three era comes to an end. What now?

Paul + Ray for Crash + Batum

Great for C's, but why would Blazers do it? No sense.

I think they should keep Rondo. He's affordable, and he's a good young piece to build around. I also think he'll be compatible with any other star in the league, so you don't have to worry about chemistry problems down the road.

See if you can get solid young players or draft picks for Ray and Garnett, otherwise re-sign them in the offseason for low figures, then use the ample cap space to bring whatever young pieces they can. They'd be great players off the bench for a year or two.

It would be great for Pierce to retire a Celtic, and I'm sure he will. But, taking loyalty out of the picture, he's probably the best piece they have to trade, and I think they'd have to do it now before he gets older. They could probably get some great young players in exchange.

It's a tricky situation for Ainge. Lots of routes he could take. I'm still really curious to see how they do in the playoffs. Remembering how they made it to the Finals as the 4th seed in 2010, it wouldn't surprise me if they turn it on and do some damage in the playoffs. Don't think they give it nearly their all in the regular season and they might be the biggest victim of the condensed schedule cause of their age.

Do nothing between now and the March 15th deadline and tank. They have two draft picks this year. Their own and the Clippers pick (which is looking like a late round pick).

The rebuilding process has already started when they traded Perkins.

Really? if Andrew Bynum and Trevor Ariza weren't injured in 08, the lakers might have 3 in a row........argument goes both ways like your father

Didn't say that was false, and the insult was necessary. Daddy issues yourself?

I see them keeping the big three through the playoff run.

The truth may by out this summer and retire , but ....

The big ticket may by out this summer and retire , but ....

The Ray ray may by outthis summer and retire , but ....

----------------
I think all three will play next 2012/13 season.
Either for another team or the Celtic's but strickly in backup roles

*Ray ray could play for several contenders in a 18-22 minute capacity.
(Think rifleman and now you see what I am talking about)

* Truth stays a Celtic or retires... nothing else to say

* Big Ticket could go to the Lakers , Portland , Minny , Bulls or Spurs.
Off the bench 15-20 guy with serious bench and locker room cheerleader.
======================
Boston must keep Rondo

He is the building block along with Green if he comes back.
They will need to look for a 5.

So now I will pose another rackish comment of what if :
I have stated before Howard could go to the Spurs
Why not go to the Celtic's
For that matter if D-Will goes to the Celtic's / Rondo could become trade
bait to acquire Gay or any other SF that has serious lift.

Those two super stars coming to Boston - you can guess Boston would find the role players sooner than later to support a championship contending roster.

i think a lot of teams will want ray allens services next year. hes not a great athlete anymore, but that quick release and sweet stroke arent going anywhere.

Anyway what I personally feel is Boston badly needs a Rebounding Center and a young athletic player(Batum?) to run fastbreak with Rondo.

Prime Suns 2.0?

Also does anybody think the Nuggets would do a trade revolving around Rondo and Ty Lawson?

Completely pointless.
