The Big Three....and the bruins

I have all faith in Danny Ainge, Theo, and Coach Belichick. How can you not after all they've done for their franchises? In terms of Ainge's moves on Thursday, how can one not by excited about bringing in a good player/borderline star when healthy in Jeff Green to guard LeBron in the playoffs, along with a serviceable center in exchange for Perkins and Robinson. Did I hear they also are getting a Clippers 1st rounder as well? Jesus, Danny may have done a five year makeover of the team in one afternoon.

Rondo is set at point.

Allen can keep shooting jumpers for as long as he likes. He's a freaking All Star at the 2.

Paul Pierce is potentially one of the greatest Celtics ever, and a second ring will solidify that for the small forward.

Garnett is the starting 4. Nice.

And at center, Shaq is the main man, then either Krstic or Garnett vs smaller guys.

The new wing Green backing up Pierce at the 3 and some time at 4 for KG.

Injury free guard West backing up Rondo or Allen.

That's a great team if Shaq gets healthy in order to help the push for Title # 18, and might be the favorites.

==========================

Brilliant work by General Manager Danny Ainge today. Red would be mighty happy with the kid's efforts.

Now, if we could just get new ownership of those beloved Bruins, the city's sports scene would be unbeatable.

Friday Followup: After having a night to think about it, I am more excited about these moves than ever. The Celtics are now the favorites for the title IF Shaq is healthy. And yes, that's a big if. But Jeff Green is a wicked baller!
