    accordin to nbatalk, celts might be tryin to get ainge in the front office, and if thats the case, he'd look to trade antoine walker. maybe that is the hold up.. we have to wait for celts to get ainge first, then we get walker! id love to see antoine here, much better than the wizard, and he can actually rebound a little. francis, mobes, anderson, motay, toine, and LANGHI [​IMG] thats a great lineup. sorry if this was mentioned in one of the 400 post threads,but honestly, i just kinda stopped readin those after the first few posts.

    Rocketspimp: actually, i have been keeping an eye on this story, and Ainge actually despises poor Antoine.

    It´s almost a given that he would trade him.

    But obviously as the Dream or any other player we are willing to offer won´t put the celts in the playoffs, i don´t expect us to have a chance in this, IHMO.

    Ainge may be right. I tend to agree with him on Walker at least. But its hard to evaluate players when they're force fed a system (by Pitino) that none of them are capable of implementing. Unless they get a decent coach, they're not going anywhere.

    Pierce got stabbed 11 times and has come back to be the best player on that team. Walker is also a very good player. The Celtics have had enough talent to make the playoffs(with the exception of Kenny Anderson who I believe is highly overrated), but have lacked the coaching leadership.

    Will Ainge help bring that to Boston? I doubt it.

    Ainge is nothing by a whiney little b!tch, IMO. I never liked the b*stard and still don't. If he went to Boston it would strictly be a PR move much like MJ going to Washington.

    I don´t like ainge either, but it was Pitino and his bad personnel decision that blew that franchise up.

    If they still had Fox, Mercer and Billups, the celtics are a completly different team.
