Celtics Should Consider Cleaning House

Submitted by David Watson, Nov 15, 2006 05:21

Agreed: Gerald Green and Leon POwe should be played more minutes

Unsure: Doc Rivers is the right coach for this team

Disagreed: Fire Danny Ainge - Your biggest argument is to fire him for the talent he has acquired in the last 3 years. All Celtics fans know he is rebuilding. The days of LB, MJ, and MJ are over. He also was wise enough to recognize that if the Celtics might even POSSIBLY contend they either needed Shaq on their team or not opposing them (by the way, I am not a Shaq fan in the least - only a realist). Bottom line - with the talent oozing into this league, the Celtics have had shit picks under DA. In my opinion, he has made the best of them.

Celtics had Len Bias in 1986 - he died. - who knows? Move on. 1997 (or 98) had picks 3 and 6. They drafted half well and traded the only good half they traded. It took Chauncy Billups 5-6 years to establsh himself as a star. Not to mention David Wesley who Pitino SHOULD have kept.

Long story short - the Celtics - in today's NBA - have no choice but to take chances. That's it. Ainge is taking every chance possible with the intent of winning. HONESTLY, I just hope that Ainge is still managing our team in 5 years. He has not thrown us fluff. He has told us what it is, and what it is is the only way to another Championship in the NBA is by taking risks that GM's in the past would never (or had to) take
