Baby is terrible. It's hard to find worse players in this league that get the kind of minutes and leeway Baby does. For some reason Doc loves him. Maybe the front office finally realizes the best solution is to not give Doc the option to play him. Thing is, Shelden is better than Baby. Baby is terrible.

But your all failing to miss this, or are not posting it, Ray walks and you get nothing. They can't just take the money he's making and spend it. Ray can only resign for the mid-level which is like $6 mill. Ray can get more from someone else, so he's gone. Why not dump him now and get something? You keep him, LOSE, and he walks, then you and everyone else is crying the same sob story for the next 3 years. ERIC – You and thousands of other celtics fans keep saying this.

It's just a matter of the ownership paying the luxury tax. Why should anybody but the ownership care about the extra money being spent? I don't care...I'd just like to make this team better. I'll repeat: we won't have cap room anyway. We won’t have cap room anyway. It’s just a matter of the ownership paying the luxury tax.

Anyway, the Monster Trade "works" in the financial sense, but it's a terrible deal for the Cs. Terrible. I can't imagine anything more painful than watching Udrih and Nocioni play for the next three years at three times the money Tony is making. Overrated, limited players. Awful. Just awful. I think I'd rather return to 2004, with Jiri Welsch and Raef La Frentz. Ugh. I can't stress how enough how bad that would be. Yes, it nets KMart, which I would love, but it's worth asking if he's really better--more clutch, better all-around--than Ray. We don't know, because he's been the stud on a bad team for many years. He's good, but does he help us in the playoffs this year? I like it when boys like Simmons play with other peoples’ toys.
