I dunno where you got this lottery protected first round pick from, but the only one I know of is the one we owe to the Clippers for Jaric. We get our pick back for Marcus Banks that we gave boston a few years ago.
Mchale sucks i know.
i dont really want to disect whats wrong with the rest of your post. but theres a lot of things that need to be straightened up
KG's 20 million a year only hog ties the team when you give crappy players too much money and sign them to long term deals. (See my above post) Other teams do it and we could have as well with some better planning.
Telfair among the other guys in the deal have expiring contracts in the next 1-2 years... so we really aren't gaining ANY players if you look at it that way. You think they are going to resign any of those guys with a bottom feeding team like the T-Wolves are going to be now?
Maybe we are looking at a different deal, but our first round picks are both at least partially protected.
"The Timberwolves get the Celtics' first-round pick in 2009, unless it is among the top three, and a return of Minnesota's conditional first-round draft pick" (and by conditional I believe it was top 10 protected like our pick to the Clippers according to what I heard earlier today.
So basically... two lottery protected picks (and the 2009 pick is a big gamble at best) and a bunch of guys that may or may not be ok role players... who will more than likely walk after this season or next anyway... all for the best basketball player Minnesota will probably ever have.
Just like KFAN was saying earlier today... they're setting the team up quite nicely to sell in a couple of years. -
which is exactly what we're striding for...
and Ill put my life savings down saying the celtics aren't a top 3 pick in 09
