It Will Be A Great Off-Season For Ainge If

- He signs the Argentinian/Italian Vince Carter-like SF Andre Nocioni as a free agent.

A Star could be born in the NBA, if Ainge can ink Nocioni, a great athlete
who can score, rebound, and pass from the small forward position
and shoots the 3-ball at 40 percent.

- Trades Ricky Davis for Brent Barry.

Right! With the Star-to-be Nocioni, Pierce, and Jiri, there's no need 
for Ricky Davis, so you can ship him off to Seattle for Barry in a sign-and-trade.

Barry - Pierce - Nocioni - LaFrentz - Mihm ~ Not bad at all!

- Maneuvers the Celtics into position to draft the Isiah-like Sebastian Telfair and 
a PF type such as Chris Taft, Uros Slokar, LaMarcus Aldridge, Randolph Morris,
etc.

Ye gods, exactly. Telfair has that Isiah PG-Magic to him. He's sneaky evil
and a pure PG, who if it weren't for the destructive Atkins trade, the Celtics 
would be in perfect position to draft him. Instead, now they're going to have 
to trade up.  

They can nab a lanky  PF prospect with their second or third first-rounder:
Slokar - Morris - Turiaf - Torrin Francis (though his offense is very raw),
Dusan Sakota, Varejao, or Al Jefferson, who's not lanky but a great 
scorer/rebounder.
