Re: it's still early

The Celtics made the trade at a time when they'd gone a decade without a playoff appearance.  They picked up 2 players who were accustomed to winning and rode them to the Eastern Conference finals. That seems loke a fair trade to me. I wish Joe a lot of luck, but I doubt if he'll ever be anything more than a decent role player a la Walt Williams.  

Now that we expect to make the playoffs each year, its hard to recall how difficult it was for us to get there in the first place.

I never supported the trade, saying it was only good from a short term deal,

fans look long term. We will be patient with Banks, Kedrick, Kendrick and Hunter 
as we supported Chauncey and JJ. I believe Danny understands. Obie doesn't....

 being the 10th pick in the draft. Tonight JJ was aggressive from the
