The Celtics are a laughing stock because they've upgraded their roster.

As we've seen last year, the team was going nowhere but to high lottery picks, I doubt that Jeff Green would have turned the franchise around.
I agree that the Allen move was a good one. I'm just wondering if the Celtics would have drafted Jeff Green if they kept the pick. They drafted for Seattle, so that wasn't really their pick. You think they might have gone after Yi or something? Boston doesn't have the biggest Asian market, but it's still pretty big. I don't think Yi would have complained.

Re: "The Celtics are quickly becoming the laughing stock of the NBA."

It's very simple - no matter who we would have drafted.

Keep the pick = trade Pierce.
Trade the pick = keep Pierce.

Clearly we chose to keep Pierce and upgrade our team at the same time.

We now have Pierce and Allen. Were able to keep Big Al and Rondo. We are more attractive to other quality vets with at least 2 allstar level players. And we still got some nice young players in this draft.

It was a great move.
