Kevin is staying

Jameer's $8 mil next year is actually a team option, so that would be perfect. They could decline the option and have that money to spend on a starting SF. If they could clear out another $4 mil or so they could probably sign Deng. Dante is expiring, so he could stay gone, but that doesn't make up the difference. This is the first move I've heard of that I'm really excited about.

KG was a better player then Love was easily. Don't be mistaken, KG was the number 1 guy on the celtics

And you're wrong about that too. Paul Pierce was the man in Boston. KG was a fantastic No. 2. That's no disrespect to KG, though. Had we built around him properly, he could have been the main man on a title team. But let's give Pierce the credit he deserves.

"The celtics were an all time level of defense because of KG. Kg also scored the most rebounded the most, stole the most, blocked the most, 3rd in assists, highest FG% of their championship playoff run"

He played great, and so did Pierce. When they needed a big time bucket, though, who had the ball in his hands? Paul Pierce. Who was the face of that team? Paul Pierce. Who put his team on his back in the NBA Finals? Paul Pierce aka The Truth.

NBA Finals:

Pierce: 22 PPG, 6 APG, 4.5 RPG, 43% FG, 39% 3P, 83% FT.

KG: 18 PPG, 13 RPG, 3 APG, 43% FG, 76% FT.

KG turned their defense into a giant, I get that. But when asking who "the man" was on that Boston team, the right answer is Paul Pierce. No disrespect to KG or Ray Allen.

I belive the Celtics didn't get out of the first round when KG got injured

Lol and? That team needed each of the Big 4 to be a championship team. That's not up for debate. Had any one of Pierce/KG/Allen/Rondo gone down, no ring would have been won.

true but Im thinking your thinking Pierce was the man because he was already there. To me it's the same with the heat. Wade might of been the man in Miami, but Lebron was always the better player

Throwing stats out the window on that Celtics team, KG was the most important player. Pierce took the ball in end of game situations yes, but Kg did everything well while sacrificing his own offensive numbers. I have no doubt he couldve been a 20 plus a game scorer but thats not what the team needed from him. They needed him to do everything else and he did so without bitching. Thats why I respect him so much.
