Jefferson's ok time to time but he's extremely inconsistant, i mean he is young yeah but can you picture him as a 20ppg 10rpg like O'neal is (jermiane) or do you see him more along the lines of small Erick Dampier? I can see him like O'Neal simply because last season, he had the same stats per 48 minutes as Amare Stoudemire did in his rookie season. Still, he hasn't learned to play defense consistently, but his offensive game and his hands are terrific, so yeah, I don't see it as a stretch to expect that he'll become a very good player. Gerald Greene got a huge hype from Dani Ainge, he said in i forgot which PC but he had a very bright future for Gerald Greene. Greene's not doing too hot in DL which makes me wonder if he's like Ebi Ainge didn't really hype up Green, the pre-draft media did. Green was widely considered to be a top-10 pick - Ainge didn't circulate that rumor. But of course he expects a bright future - any kid that was projected to be a top 10 pick would be. I'm sure you don't remember Paul Pierce's story. He was supposed to go in the top 5 when he came out, but somehow slid to #10; it was much the same situation, though Pierce was obviously the better player when he came out of college as opposed to Green coming out of high school. Green has been injured this season, by the way. He hasn't played much at all, so it's too early to tell if he's struggled or not.

yeah but how could he go from a 2nd place team of Payton Pierce Davis Walker Blount to the losing ways of West Pierce Sczerbiak Perkins Lafranz i dont see anything improving anytime soon, even the draft picks they're making's not making much sense. Al Jefferson's way too over rated for the Celtics, Gerald Green's extremely over rated too, the Celtics cant draft right nor pick up FA becuase of Ainge being equivalence to what Bulls GM in Slox is, nobody likes to get swapped that much The winning ways of that squad? If you haven't looked lately, Gary Payton is well over the hill, Walker is over the hill, Blount sucks. They now have a lot of youth instead, and have potential to be good. with that old lineup, they would be a pathetic team. I mean, Blount leads the league in TOper48, that's awful! Do you still follow the Celtics?

Marcus Banks was traded to the Lakers in the offseason yet later taken back by the Celts when the scare of Payton not playing appeared. Aigne wanted Banks back then

I think it's funny that Boston had that whole thing about needing a white star player because they's be more liked in Boston - then they go out and make a horrible trade to bring in Szczerbiak

Aigne wanted Banks back then he did? why would he have traded banks if he wanted him so badly? they realized last season that west was pretty much already a better floor general than banks and that banks really hadn't shown that much as a point guard.
