Green is a much better scorer and will compliment well with Rondo's run and gun passing style of offense. Him baby and rondo are the future right now. perk isn't healthy anymore so we might as well get rid of him while he's worth something and krstic can take up space in the paint. Robinson will be more missed because he was the spark off of the bench, but he was probably to make the deal more enticing. Perk wasn't in for the whole season minus all of two weeks so i'm not that nervous. It just changes the dynamic of how we defend down low on a howard or duncan. look for more trap defense instead of 1-on-1. I'm sure Jermaine O'Neal was offered but nobody really wants him anymore since the pacers he's been a ghost of hisself. 2nd trade- Not at all a problem for me as far as getting rid of Erden and Harongody. Both sold players sure, but replaceable beyond belief. I do think they were worth more than what we got for them but hey whatever. 3rd trade- THIS one is a head scratcher for me. I just don't see the need to ditch Quis, and for all reasons cash and a draft pick? There's no reason you can't get a decent player for him, even if it's just someone to use to talk turkey during the off season for a back up guard or better true center. BUT Overall- this thing makes sense. all of them. why? we've cleared up 3 spots on the roster. there's been interest expressed in Dwight Howard wearing green from ainge so don't be surprised if that talk becomes much more serious now. Also,more short term the c's are huge on picking up vet's right before play off time (anyone remember pj brown?) so i'd look for that as well as some signings of guys off waivers and stuff like that. Marcus Camby could be bought out and Leone Powe got let go from the cavs so they're both very plausible short term. Also, there's been a rumor of Sheed coming out of retirement for the playoffs so that just got a whole lot more plausible as well. Overall I don't hate the trades, but time will tell as to what they become for the celtics. don't count green 18 out just yet. 1st trade- Once you get past the sentimental part of perk it’s a really good trade.
