I have to agree with the above poster. Finals 2 of 3 years and a championship means you logically can not argue the success of their moves. Without those deals, the Celtics would have been mediocre at best the last few years.
EDITED TO ADD: Agree with the poster 2 posts above!!
Alan - As a Knick fan I know where you are coming from because we have sacrificed many draft picks for "big names". However if we were to have the 3 year run the Celtics have I would have been very glad to trade those picks. Many times draft choices do not work out.
