Celtic's Deal For Garnett

Well, maybe the 20 year drought will finally come to an end for the championship-starved Boston Celtics. It's been 20 long years since the greatest team ever assembled in this writer's eyes, have won a championship. It's been so long since they won, that this generation's Celtic fans only know Larry Bird as a coach and general manager, Kevin McHale, as some lame-brain GM who traded us Garnett, and they think that Al Jefferson is Moses Malone! Oh wait a minute, they don't know who Moses Malone is either. Either way, besides making this team relevent again, and I'm sick of that term already, it should make them compete for an NBA title providing these 3 stars, Garnett, Allen, and Paul Pierce stay healthy. (I refuse to call them the Big Three since they can not hold a candle to Bird, McHale, and the Chief.) In this generation's NBA, you really only need 2 stars to win a title. Check the last few NBA champions; San Antonio-Duncan and Parker, Miami- Shaq and Wade, and LA-Shaq and Kobe. Even in the 1990's, Chicago really was MJ and Pippen. Look at who represented the Eastern Conference this year, Cleveland, which was essentially Lebron James and a bunch of high schoolers(young ones won't recall Moses Malone's comments back in 1981!). So, with 3 highly talented players to say the least, there's no reason if they're healthy that they can't compete for the NBA title over the next 3 years. I would like to see them add a veteren backup ala Dikembe Mutumbo, but all in all, you have to like this team's chances. And it is a nice change having them relevent again in this city. Woops, I used the relevent word again! Oh by the way, if they dared to win a championship this year, I know somewhere above Red will finally rest in peace,cigar in hand!
