We just make a team in our conference so much stronger if we deal with the Celtics. And with the Cavs still having a handful of years of success being likely, we probably wouldn't have built a team, and the young stars (if the rookies end up being stars), and for them to mature into playoff winning players, we are looking at the playoffs in the 4th or 5th year at best, because our team would be mostly young players and trash.
It scares me because we've been there, and could very well still be there if we didn't totally luck out on Derrick. And by be there, meaning a crappy team with no real optimism of getting ourselves out.
We'll be really lucky if it's only 5 years.
At this point, I'm just hoping for the best return as possible, because I'll be surprised if Jimmy is on the team next season.
