The Captain Speaks.......

“You see Cleveland get Shaq [O’Neal] and Orlando get Vince [Carter] and you say, ‘Wow. We’ve got to do something,’” Pierce said to WEEI. “But we didn’t expect to do anything. It was a disappointing season, but we were injured. We just need to get healthy. We like our starting five.”

Well, there was no life after 1987.

Don't worry Pierce. Ray Allen will get traded soon.

[Darth Celtic]

none of the c's starting 5 will be traded soon. If trade deadline comes, and the team is underperfoming, and some team offers us a big time player for rays ending contract, sure. as ray might just come back for min anyways.

You really don't need to trade the starting 5 at all. If Ray's contract expires, great! we can lure some young stud here to play with KG, PP, and Rondo. Remember, Rondo could make the all star team this comming season and we might end up needing to use a chunk of that cash for him.

I think KG+Pierce with Rondo making 10 mil a year and another borderline all star like a RJ or Ginobli making 10 mil would be fine as well.

Eh eh, Ray's not leaving. The Celtics can't win the title without him. Period.

He retires a Celtic.

Or a real all star like Dwayne Wade

The team should really look into trading Ray Allen, but I wouldn't be shocked if they basically stay put.

Yup, 2010. Wade to Boston.
