In this case there are no Celtics. A new franchise with an old name is not
the same. Remember that the current Celtics franchise is already the second
with that name in Boston. They are not the same and this third frachise
would not be the same. In this case, it's over. 

There will be a period of morning and life moves on. I'll pick a new team
based on a number of factors. Players being only a small part of that.
