Can Celtics Make Another Brilliant Ray Allen Trade?
Filed under: Celtics , Kings , NBA Rumors In retrospect, Danny Ainge has executed no trade as brilliant as the one which in essence sent the fifth pick in the 2007 draft and Delonte West to Seattle for Ray Allen . It was a huge risk at the time: Allen had come off double ankle surgery, at age 31. The player the Celtics were purported to be leaning toward in the draft — Yi Jianlian — was a highly coveted mystery. It wasn’t a no-brainer, like the Kevin Garnett – Al Jefferson deal. Ray has been utterly healthy since coming to Boston, though — he’s played in 94 percent of the Celtics ‘ games in the 2-1/2 seasons, just two games fewer than ironman Paul Pierce and a full 35 games more than the younger Garnett. And he’s been good, too, a key component of the 2008 title run and a stunningly efficient weapon in 2009. ? Permalink ?|? Email this ?|? Linking?Blogs ?|? Comments
