What was unexpected? The Celtics moving off Bernard King. I thought the Cheeks/King combo was a really solid one that would be the foundation for more than just one season.
What is changed forever? The notion of "do not try to tank if you don't have your own pick."
Eaton is intriguing as a player. He can be a top defensive player as a rookie. Is it possible for Eaton to win ROY averaging just over 10 points? Is there any end of the year defensive accomplishments that you have as a goal for Eaton? I really like Eaton, so much so that his age (the reason for ...
Chet Youbetcha, Dimmadome News: Will you be patient if you run your a very large bill and are unable to compete, or will you burn out in a blaze of glory to never be seen again? And does the idea of cap point sharing intrigue you as a way to stay if you get a very large bill?

How fast do you think you will get back to prominence in a seemingly weaker Eastern Conference? My timeline is hopefully in three seasons. Where Eaton, LaSalle are more developed and Cheeks is still balling. Either that, or I’ve made moves that promote a winning team at that point.
Justin Bieber: Teremana.com: How many games will the Celtics win this year. Also, how does it feel that jlmarines, is a better GM since the beginning of the new league. Idk, maybe twenty wins. It will have to be a wait and see how the seasons goes. I’d love to buy some talent off teams that start ...
