Joking aside, there is one little problem with that scenario - if it were this
year, guys like Tony Parker and Ginobili couldn't play for them. Add Turkoglu
and Rasho to that list, if the Spurs win it next year. In fact, their entire
starting lineup next season might be foreign-born. If Dallas or Sacramento or
Detroit ever won it, they'd have similar problems. The good news is, the
Celtics, as presently constituted, would be completely in the clear. The bad
news is that they would not win it as presently constituted.
