I wish we had this guy.

No disrespect to Rajon, but Chris Paul is the best PG in the league and I wish we had him for the next 10+ years over Rajon.

um...good?

No disrespect to Cassell but I'd like Ginobli coming off the bench.

Guess what, it is not happening.

While we're at it, I wish Danny did get to make that trade of Pierce for Van Exel and the pick to Portland, that apparently he meant to pick Chris Paul with. Then we would have Chris Paul and Al Jefferson .. a dynasty. Big Al would average 28-30 points effectively.

but any of these scenarios would not be as great as this team we have had this season. And our prospects in the next 3-5 years, with Danny Ainge.

KG-Pierce-Allen is the kind of stuff teams would dream of
we just take it for granted.

That's a video game squad right there.

CP3 is a great player but watching the game today I realized that neither Parker nor CP3 play an ounce of defense. Both faked each other out pretty easily with picks and neither tried to recover after the lapse.

CP3 is the star of the team so he controls the ball a lot which reflects itself in his numbers. On this team I rather have a PG that can facilitate, and causes havoc on defense. I think that if it wasn't for our offense being a movement, Rondo would have greater assists numbers and as for his offensive skill set he does what I think a point guard should do, which is hitting the open shot.

Offense wins games, defense wins championships!!!

Yeah it'd be pretty sweet if our starting lineup was Chris Paul, Ray Allen, Paul Pierce, Kevin Garnett, and why not while we're fantasizing, let's add Bill Russell in his prime to the mix.

One thing I can't stand about him is how he dominates the ball for 22 seconds of the shot clock then either shoots it or passes it to a shooter. Bu other than that he's cool, didn't we almost trade Pierce for him?
