Giddens and Walker aren’t even playing well in the NBADL, they have blossomed… into terribleness.

Sheldon Williams was given a shot on both Atlanta and Boston. He is not good.

But on a serious note, the future of the C’s is really going to come down to what they decide to do with Ray Allen.

If they don’t trade him, they are saying that they can still contend for a title with what they have, all the while crippling their future.

If they do trade him, hopefully for youth and solid players, then that is a step in the right direction.

will even get into the playoffs in 3 or 4 years. That team has 0 all stars because Rondo will have no one to pass to.

They will be a bottom feeder again until they trade for like Dwight Howard, Kevin Durant, and an aging Kevin Martin in 6 years.

I agree with most of what was said. But the Celtics still have some draft picks that are blossoming. They got Rajon Rondo, now an all-star, from the draft in 2006. Tony Allen, who still has so much potential despite his knee injuries, was drafted by the C’s in 2004. If Glen Davis, (2007 draft pick) gets his act together, he’s proven to be a viable option.

Also, I think the jury is still out on Shelden Williams (not drafted but just a 3-year man from Duke), Bill Walker, and J.R. Giddens (my boy). They need more playing time for a proper evaluation.

That being said – the stars would have to align for the C’s to win a championship without the big three, but I firmly believe they will be in the playoffs for the next 5-6 years. After that, it will be anyone’s guess.

I’m just happy I got to witness what I did in 2008, even if it nearly gave me a heart attack on multiple occasions.

This is the case with the Spurs and the Celtics. Great teams, great players, window closed.
