Pat,
I totally agree with you on all of that. However, the plan is to get 2 SUPERSTARS here in NY. If you give extensions to Lee and Nate then you negate everything that Walsh promise which was to get under the CAP and be a player in 2010. I would love to keep Lee but I would rather have Bosh/Wade, Lebron/Dirk, Amare/Wade or any of those two combinations. Lee/Nate extensions are insignificant when you look at the BIG picture and that is win a championship like the Celtics did in 2008. And it could be done if done the right way. Hey, Ainge gambled and it worked, he gave Minnesota 5 players and 2 draft picks for Garnett. He gave Seattle/OKC #5 pick overall Green for Ray Allen/Glen Davis. Ainge in no time had the big 3, so why can't it be done here in NY? We need superstars, I'm sick and tired of watching this BS for so long. We won last night but they will lose the next 5 including to the Thunder on Tuesday. This is a bad team w/or w/out Lee in it. I trust Donnie Walsh will trade Lee before the trading deadline. If it was Isiah he would of given him 6yr/80mil, thank God that idiot is not running the show anymore.
