10. Boston Celtics Maybe the greatest Big 3 the league has ever seen. It diminished though but they got the depth they needed so badly! Kevin Garnett and Ray Allen still make for a great dynamic duo though! Strengths: PF and SG position Weaknesses: PG and C position. |
The Celtics have found that weakness at the PG spot but from an unlikley candidate.Former celtic Seabastian Telfair is back with the celtics after a trade that sent center Kendrick Perkins to the Timberwolves for Telfair.The Celtics were never content with giving Telfair away in that deal that landed the big ticket in Boston.
"Sebastan is a fan favorite here in Boston" said the Celtics GM at a press conference "We feel that he can come in and take over the starting PG position. Hes a young guy that knows how to play the game.He doesnt have to worry about scoring to much whch is good because that lets him focus on assits and steals.This trade also allows us to let Ray Allen slide back to his more natural position whic is the SG."
We coaught up with Bassy to ask him a few questions bout the trade.
Q)What does it feel like going back to Boston?
A)Im glad to be going back to Boston.I really liked playing there last season but it just didt workout then.Now I have a chance at playing with some great guys here.
Q)Do you think you will be the PG the Celtics are looking for?
A)Im ready to play.Im hoping to make Boston my home for awhile.I've moved around so much in theyear ive been in this league. Im just ready to stay here and do my thing.
Our last question to Telfair was how he will feel about playing with KG and ray Allen this year.
A) Im excited. Thats the only thing that you can really say, both those guys have done so many thing for this league.Its going to be interesting playing with this group of veterans and young guys.

I might have to, it was really hard to read with all those misspellings. Slow down next time and make sure they register. You obviously didn't look as you typed, otherwise, you could have gone back and made sure they registered. Sometimes, there were just plain misspellings with extra letters.
6.5/10. Go claim $650.
