The Celtics went into the All-star Break losing 13 of their last 22 games. (Much thanks, to not having the stones to close out sub par teams while having double digit leads, as they go into the 4th quarter). As they are showing drastic signs of the team just being to old. As it is slowly becoming Rajon Rondo's team, the time is now to make a move for this aging squad to contend for a title. And Ray Allen, it's time for you to change area codes......... again.
It's not like he had tenure with the Celtics anyway. Don't get me wrong, I loved it when the Big 3 was put together in the summer of 2007, the plan was to win a title in a 3 year window. And and they got it done in their first. And going into the 2007-2008 season, I was prepared for the Big 3, to not be together for more than 3 years. Well it's looking like 2.5 years. Being that Ray is 34 years old, with an expiring contract after this season, and has alot of minutes on his surgically repaired ankles. His days are numbered while daunting the green and white.
Danny Ainge needs to come to grips that even though Ray Allen is having his worst season as a pro right now, there is still very much he can get in return for Ray's services. And I'd be more than happy to send his ass to another city, for say Sacramento's SG Kevin Martin and F Andres Nocioni or Wizards Antwan Jamison. Any trade to make this team better right now. I'm not a hater on Ray but the shit he's trying to pull this season, isn't worth the $19 million he's making.
So thank you for your time Jesus Shuttlesworth, but your services are no longer needed.
But whatever deal GM Danny Ainge pulls off, the Face of Gatorade and Elite Swingman, Brian Scalabrine better not be included in any of the transactions. Like speed and instincts, you can't teach blue collar top shelf leadership, that's always coming off the bench.
