"New Sonics' general manager Sam Presti pulled off a stunning set of moves during the early stages of Thursday night's NBA draft, sending Ray Allen and the 35th overall pick in Thursday's second round to Boston for Wally Szczerbiak, Delonte West and the No. 5 pick. Boston selected Georgetown forward Jeff Green for Seattle with the fifth pick."
That's from this NBA.com report.
Huh?
Why why why why why why why would Danny Ainge do this?
I realize that Allen is better than Wally, by a good amount. But does this make the Celtics a good team? Does it even make them a decent team? Yuck!
Last year, the Trail Blazers were awful. They didn't get the #1 pick, even though they had a good shot. But they stuck to rebuilding, grabbing Brandon Roy.
Next year, the Celtics are going to suck. Sorry. It's inevitable. But Ainge has some ideas that, maybe with Allen, the Celtics can make a run... at 8th.
