In the end, I'm still a Celtics fan.

I can accept this trade if 

1) Forte-Shammond isn't included. Why it should even be, 
I have NO clue. I'd rather live with the dim 
hope/illusion that Forte will be a productive Celtics 
guard and/or have significant trade value by the middle 
of his rookie contract. He is by far the most complete 
player I've seen in a recent Celtics game, even if it was 
the minor leagues.

2) Baker accepts a team opt out after two years. Why 
anyone would throw away a guaranteed 30 million dollars 
is beyond me. Hopefully with enough beer and Krispy 
Kremes in his system, he'll agree.

My guess is that Baker will average 9 point and 6 boards 
next year, or else come out like gangbusters and give us 
15 and 7. If the Celtics defense slips noticeably, he'll 
get benched for Battie. Should he start whining about 
touches, we can't trade him but at least we can fire 
Chris Wallace. This is exactly the kind of bad chemistry 
risk, bad contract (understatement of the century)Boston 
should avoid, but hey that damn luxury tax.

In the end I'm a Celtics fan. We'll be a lot like the 
Knicks team when Ewing was finished. Everything has got 
to slow down around Vinnie (far fatter and complacent 
than Ewing, but a good talker nonetheless). 

But yes, we still have a likely playoff team. I would 
expect Boston to make the playoffs next season.
