Danny Ainge Has Some Work To Do

[Way Of The Ray]

The NBA Executive of the Year needs to get cracking on
solving the Celtics many problems. All flaws are
exposed in the playoffs, and the warts and blemishes 
of this Celtics team are shining through.

- The Celtics need a young SG/SF. Ray Allen: Are his
days as a NBA starter over? Just a dud during these
playoffs. Is it age, injuries, or personal problems?
The only trade value that Allen has for this upcoming
season is to bring back bad contracts and a quality
draft pick, say from the Knicks. Ray Allen, Davis, and
a future first to NY for Curry, Richardson, and the
sixth pick?

- The Celtics need a starting center. Perkins, Powe,
and Scalabrine for Brad Miller. 

- The Celtics need a young PG. Sam I Am, more like Sam
He Was. Just dreadful. Has Doc Rivers sucked the life
out of him? He had played decently during the regular
season. And Rondo, very mercurial. An injured Billups
would be taken advantage of, by most other NBA
starting PGs, but Rondo is struggling. 

- The Celtics need a scorer off the bench. Could be
the place for Ray Allen, or a free agent signee.  

- The Celtics could really use a low post scorer.
Ray Allen for Zach Randolph and the 6th pick. Danilo
Gallinari would be a nice substitute for Allen. 

- Doc Rivers, how much longer will he be allowed to
torment Celtics fans? Enough is enough with this
playoff liability. 

- The upcoming NBA Draft. Teams will be willing to
trade away their first round picks. Will Celtics
ownership allow Ainge to acquire an extra draft choice
or two and suffer the pangs of added luxury tax?

Robin Lopez, Marreese Speights, Joe Alexander, J.R.
Giddens, all players who could help the Celtics.
