The Lawn Chair Boys: Things the Celtics Do Besides Trade Away Kendrick Perkins

February 24, 2011

Let you go first in tic tac toe...

Bowl with the gutter guards up...

Peek during hide and go seek...

Look at other people's cards...

Take the high ground in battle...

Or trade away the two advantages they had over every team in the Eastern Conference: size and chemistry.

Unknown said...: What is Jeff Green? An undersized power forward who can't guard? Or a small forward who can't shoot?

Now they're left with just the two O'Neals left to man the paint (whose talents have been decimated by injuries) and Nenad (someone the Thunder traded away to get tougher in the paint and has his own lengthy list of injuries).

This trade paved the way for the end of their reign in the East as the Celts just gave up their most formidable piece in the paint. All because they were going to lose him this offseason.

Unknown said...: This was the most shocking move of the deadline.

Russ said...: They must see Kendrick Perkins as damaged goods and wanted to get something for him while they could. Jeff Green is useful for defending against the likes of Carmelo and Lebron on the perimeter and lets Pierce and Allen focus on scoring. This is a good trade for the future, just not sure its good for winning now. Their window to win is now and depending on Shaq and possible Troy Murphy to man the paint now is risky at best.
