Would rather have had a few bad years with KG and PP retiring as Celtics. Boston will be lucky to get anything close to the value of what we sent away.
Clipper and nets will be be decent for at least 3-4 years; if we are lucky we get an extra pick from from the 18the to 25th pick--a wide range of skills/talent. example are Eric Bledsoe, James Johnson, Terrence Williams,Courtney Lee,Marco Belinelli,Quincy Douby. lots of these guy wont be in the nba in a few years. at best we most will be solid back-ups.
the notion that trading bird or mchale would have saved us from years of years of mediocrity is exaggerated and probably not true. i very much enjoyed being a celtic fan in the late 80's even when they were past their prime. we got very unlucky with reggie and len bias. we had number of decent picks in those years: MSmith, Acie Earl, Jérome Moïso, Joseph Forte, Eric Montross etc. most of whom made little long term impact.

Time to move on.Garnett and Pierce are in the end of theirs careers.Givem them a chance to another ring and let the celtics start the rebuilding.Fair for both party.
