The Misery That Is Life As a Celtics Fan

Life recently as a Celtics fan has been one of false hope, mediocrity, and a bunch of questionable moves by GM Danny Ainge.

Sure, there's Kendrick Perkins (having his second surgery on a dislocated shoulder in the last year), Al Jefferson (who has no concept of defense, took 3 months to recover from a sprained ankle, and can't stay in shape), the explosive Gerald Green (19 years old, and not LeBron James), Paul Pierce (great, but mis-cast as a leader of a young squad). Here's a list of players we've got that really stink: Brian Scalabrine (nickname, Veal), Tony Allen (barely escaped felony assault charges last summer, and had knee surgery), Michael Olowokandi (looks good in his braids), Wally Szczerbiak (he was an All-Star, once, before people realized it's Wally Szczerbiak), and Raef Lafrentz (who would be good as an 8th man making a million a year. Unfortunately, he's a starter and has something like 3 years left on his deal at $10 - $12 million per). Is there a player, besides Pierce you wouldn't trade for someone like Josh Howard on the Mavs (and yes, I would've made that deal before his amazing playoffs)? Delonte West and Ryan Gomes are decent, but both play out of position.

Did I mention they've got no real point guard (unless you count Dan Dickau, and I don't).

At least there's hope in this year's draft...oh wait.
