In my opinion, would have been good for the Grizzlies if it was a later first rounder because OJ is probably gone after this season. Ray Allen has the playoff experience as well.

Celtics' management looks kind of foolish now. They were going to give up Paul Pierce for a lottery pick, and Ray Allen for a first rounder & OJ Mayo. However, here they are now, one of the best teams after the All-Star break and probably going to be a contender in the playoffs. If those trades were executed, I doubt you could say that.

One minute, they thought about mailing it in. Next minute, they hold their cards and come storming back in the second half of the season. I had Miami and Chicago as potential Eastern Conference teams fighting for the championship, but after what the Celts have done, I might have to throw their hat in the ring. The only thing for both Bulls and Celtics are key injuries tha may keep them from getting what they seek this season.
