The scary thing though is that shoulder could snap back out very easily without the surgery he needed and if D-Wade reinjures it in the playoffs, then the Heat are done.

I really don't see how anyone can think they won't get to the finals if Wade is healthy. IMO San Antonio comes out of the West. I have no clue who will win. http://firedannyainge.wordpress.com

So whatever the hamstring injury took away from him was balanced out by Memphis' Sun like pace. And I don't think the injury really affected him since what would Memphis get from playing their star injured while there in a hopeless season where it serves them best to LOSE so they have the best chance possible at a high draft pick. Don't get me wrong, I think Gasol is a very good player with loads of talent, but his max is 20 points, 9 boards, and 4 assists, very good, but not reason enough to trade Big Al for him. I think you hate on Danny Ainge too a little bit, I mean he's had some terrible moves, like the 1st Walker and the Telfair trades, but hes the best GM in the league at drafting rookies, and I think you gotta give him a pass this year due to all the injuries. And I never said this team is a title contender with Oden or Durant, I said if they aqquire a Kevin Garnett/Jermaine O'Neal and add a decent rookie and veteran then they are a title contender in my opinion. With Oden or Durant I agree that they probably wouldn't be a title contender this year, but remember Lebron put up 27 points, 7 rebounds, and 7 dimes a game his 2nd season, the equivalent to Durants rookie season this year. If Durant put up 20-25 points, I think the C's would be in pretty good shape lol.

IMO he is overrated. He is the best passer in the league but his shooting has a lot to be desired and I won't even go into his shot selection. A team with Vince Carter should have a better record. I don't see a lot of Wallace so I can't comment on him but Marion has a lot of help is why I don't see him getting as much credit as he would if he played on another team. Iguodala is not underrated at all. He never had a chance to do anything behind AI taking all the shots. Next year he will get all the credit you think he deserves. I expect a blow out year for him. http://firedannyainge.wordpress.com Kidd is not underated. IMO he is overrated.

Every year someone says this will be the year the Celtics do this ot that but as long as Ainge is in charge and uses his brain doctor and personal biased opinion to make trades the Celtics are going no where. Even IF they get a top 2 draft pick. There is no rookie in the league capable of carrying a team to a title and there won't be any time soon.

Theres still very good prospects in this draft, assuming they come out of course. Brandon Wright has superstar potential, Noah, Yi the Chinese guy, and Al Horford are very good big men prospects, so I think if the Celts get the 1 or 2 pick and Oden and Durant dont come out, then they can still trade it to aqquire a guy like O'neal or Garnett. I surely hope your scenairo doesnt play out, I want Oden or Durant lol.

So with this situation; no huge rookie prospect, and the idea of acquiring O'Neal or Garnett would be difficult. Would the Celts look to trade down and lose Perkins and West (who I think will stay) for someone like Pau Gasol? Gasol doesn't look to be the final piece for the Celts with his injury and how he's been playing this year.
