1 nomination. 1 win. Flawless.
And whoever doesn't want to drink with me is foolish. Greasy, you're coming out tonight, damnit.

Who else was she banging in the last year? I think we need Maury.

As I said, the Bulls have some excellent young talent. However, if were talking about trades and being realistic in the process. The Bulls shouldn't trade Luol Deng, shouldn't trade Kirk Hinrich, shouldn't trade Ben Gordon (who I would give up in a heartbeat) or else the nucleus of that team will be disrupted.
The Celtics won't trade Jefferson but beyond that, when talking about a realistic trade, the Celtics have more young talent able to be used as bait without disrupting the nucleus of the team.
Point in case, the Bibby example I gave.
P.S. Where are you seeing that Jefferson would have to be included in talks with Memphis? Throughout the summer when talks of Bibby first started, and from the draft until the night Iverson was traded Jefferson's name was never involved. I'd say at this point Pierce is traded before Jefferson, which is tough to say because Pierce is my all time favorite basketball player.

so you agree that you were overstating yourself?
I'm admitting I failed to clarify what I meant by most good young talent. Not an overstatement by any means.
I'm sure many people make the same mistake running on fumes, writing a paper and studying for a test late at night. As good looking as I am, I'm human, baby.

Explain how they have the most "good young talent." I think Orlando has more young talent in one player than the Celtics have on their whole team.
Oh, goodness. I completely agree. I'd take Dwight Howard over just about anybody in the league. My one and only point, which I think Sleepy missed initially, is that the Celtics don't have to give up that coveted first round pick as Pierce had asked for (for veteran help) because they have enough young talent, outside of the three key guys (Allen, Jefferson, Green) to land a guy like Mike Bibby when you also factor in the expiring contract of Theo Ratliff.
Basically, I don't think the Celtics are too far off from being a contending team. Of course a lot of things have to fall into place, for instance ping pong balls, I just happen to believe the politics of the NBA (James miracously taking a franchise that was about to fold back to glory) will win out and the Celtics will be a team that will get either Oden or Durant.
And when you couple in my plan, which I believe is also a plan of Danny's, the future looks rather bright, even when you're about to match the number of consecutive losses to championship banners later tonight.
Bibby, Pierce, Sczerbiak, Jefferson, Oden or Bibby, Pierce, Sczerbiak, Durant, Jefferson.
When you have a sixth man like Tony Allen, a stop gap full energy point guard in Rajon Rondo to back up, and a big, still improving body that is Kendrick Perkins. You have a roster that is a role player or two away from being a legit contender in that division.
Lets not forget. Had the season ended 30 games into the season. The Celtics would have been the three seed. Well, the four seed with the new rules. Still, pretty astonishing.

I bought tickets from a Soxtalker last year. We shared a beer, even though I was pretty much blacked out, exchanged tickets/money and we were on our wayward son.
I'd like to drink with him.
I won an award? Hell yeah.

So you're calling me ignorant and gay...Nice, good job of staying classy...
No need to resort to silly name-calling just because you're flat-out wrong and too immature to realize it.
You deserve it. If you arent going to debate or offer anything to the thread, then dont waste everybodys time. i'd be glad to discuss our differences of opinion, you just failed to say why your opinion differs and resorted to name calling, and at this time im not having it.
-
lol...
Your boston homerism knows no bounds.
You're just being ignorant if you disagree. The Bulls have good young players, just not as many that could be used as trade bait, unless of course you want to disrupt the whole outlook of that team.
But good one. You remind me of John Amaechi.

If the Celtics were smart they would trade Pierce and just rebuild..
Fire Ainge too
How have they not "just rebuild(ed)" already? They have the most good young talent in the league. Pierce recommended trading the pick, but that makes zero sense. With as much talent as they have, you can trade some along with Theo Ratliff's expiring contract and get that solid veteran to accompany Pierce and either Oden or Durant.
The Celtics, for as bad as they are right now, are in great shape to succeed in the future.
A combination of Delonte West, Sebastian Telfair, Ryan Gomes, Gerald Green, Kendrick Perkins along with Theo Ratliff could be extremely enticing for teams like Memphis (Gasol), Sacremento (Bibby), etc.
The Celtics have been hard after a point guard for years, going hard after Bibby makes all too much sense.
West, Telfair, Ratliff, first round pick in '08 for Bibby (money/filler would have to be added)
You're looking at a line-up of:
Bibby, Pierce, Sczerbiak, Durant, Jefferson
Rondo, Allen, Green, Gomes, Perkins
Of course you could get Sczerbiak and Brad Miller involved and it could get real interesting.
Point is, the Celtics are in an extremely good position, talent wise, to return this franchise to glory. It'll just take time.

I'm gonna go out on a limb here... but I bet when she is old enough to understand, her daughter wont agree.
I was completely agreeing with how people should be just as sad/remorseful for Joe Schmo who died of cancer than for Anna Nicole Smith. Not that because I wasn't a fan of her as a celebrity I don't care that she's dead. You're right, even though it's no sweat off my back, I certainly am hoping and praying for that little girl.

She would have cried for any of us that died and showed us a great deal of remorse, sadness, etc. She was famous for her boobs and nailing an old billionaire. Her contribution to society will not be missed, there will be a thousand people today that will die in anonymity who contributed more as a parent, teacher, community leader, etc. than her. I'm not saying that to disparage her, but to point out the celebrity worship this country is on. People jumping in to defend her and her life. Why? Because she was famous for being famous.
I completely agree.
I love the Cory Lidle situation. Everybody was so sad and so remorseful, but in the large scheme of things people unwillingly lose there lives every second of the day. As I type this for instance. I'm moreso interested in this story because it's quickly turning into a Forensic Files or a Cold Case type story, and I'm an avid fan of those types of shows.

As the "father" of Dannilynn (sp?) he would have complete control over the Marshall $$ which was apparently close to being settled since Pierce had passed away. And I don't think ANS was that well off. I recall something in People Mag about her not paying rent at the Bahamas house.
True. Also that thing from wiki that someone posted about her not paying for the special autopsy procedure for her son. Man, this story just gets crazier by the minute.

Is this THE Howard Stern we are all talking about???
No. It's this slime bag agent who came to her aid in the midst of her depression and managed to become her spokesman and of course agent completely taking control of her life in the process.
-
On TV tonight, Nancy Grace was saying that her "husband", Howard Stern, was missing in action during a large portion of the morning leading up to her death, which was out of character for him.
As an avid Howard Stern (the real one), I remember a couple episodes in the past where Anna's Stern and him were getting in heated arguments. The guy always came off as a douchebag to me, a guy who had taken complete control of her life. Still, I don't know why he'd want Anna and her son dead, he was reaping the benefits financially with all the money she was bringing in.
-
Definitly an interesting interview replayed on CNN tonight. An interview with Anna Nicole Smith's mother saying that she knew 100%, no questions asked, that her grandson, Anna's son, Daniel never overdosed purposely, didn't kill himself, etc... She then proceeded to say that "Vicky Linn, if you don't watch out for the people you're with, you will be next."
I don't know why this story is interesting to me, but everything I'm seeing is making it more and more crazy.
I'm interested to see where this goes.

Yahoo, CNN...
I'm watching CNN and have been for the last half hour. Not one mention of her OD'ing and it wasn't even a possibility on the list of things people speculated could be the cause. I really couldn't care less, I was just wondering if you had a link or something definitive.

I was just watching some special on The Insider on her late last night. Wow.

Awesome, my man. I'd take him on my team over any player in the country. It will be an absolute disgrace if he isn't given ACC Player of the Year and a spot on the first team All-American squad. He's the best player in Boston College history and what he's doing, with the talent that team has is something special.
I'll cry if I don't get to see him play one more time at Conte. Duke, North Carolina. I'm coming.

I saw this in another thread. Can anyone explain it? I'm not familiar with this guys blog.

Regardless of the sport, if I have the number one overall pick, I draft the best talent available and not for team need.
Reggie Bush > Mario Williams. Point in case.

I stopped reading after you threw Tony Allen under a bus. You clearly don't watch enough Celtic basketball, which to be honest, I don't blame you for. This losing streak started when Allen went down. He's an Artest like defender and a better shooter. He doesn't have the size or strength that Artest has, but he's very comparable.
Also, the Ratliff situation. He's signed for one more year. I imagined the deal taking place this offseason which means it would be expiring at the end of the season. Even if the trade were to be made near the deadline this year, a guy with only one more year left on his deal when guys like Brad Miller and Shareef Abdur-Rahim have 3+ makes a whole lot of sense.
Basically. When talking about the Celtics. I'd rate Jefferson, Green, and Allen as great young talents. Gomes, Rondo, West, and Perkins as good talents who haven't been able to show consistency.
