Haran-gone

What a day for the Boston Celtics. The C's followed up this afternoon's blockbuster with another slightly less notable deal. The deal sends a couple of big goofy white men to the Cavaliers for a 2013 2nd round pick. Semih Erden and Luke Harangody are on the way out in a move that was made to open up roster space for potential free agent signings. It appears Danny Ainge and Co. already have a few options lined up with F Troy Murphy of the Golden State Warriors leading the way and with the ageless Rip Hamilton waiting in the wings. The Celtics also agreed to send the injured Marquis Daniels, who suffered that scary spinal cord injury right before the All-Star break, to the Kings. Daniels does have the option to refuse any trade due to his contract structure, but either way the Drive for 18 is going to look a whole lot different from here on out.
In the span of about 30 minutes today the C's moved 5 players from a team that currently has the best record in the Eastern Conference. Danny, I know you probably didn't recognize me with my cowboy hat on when I yelled at you at the BC hoop game a couple weeks ago, but I hope you can hear me loud and clear now. If it ain't broke, don't fix it. I understand something needed to be done. We needed a 3-man to come off the bench who could defend and score when need be and I think we got that in Jeff Green, but did we really need to replace the entire bench? I guess time will tell. I like that you're looking at another goofy white man in Troy Murphy to replace Harangody. You have to understand that we must have at least one on the roster at all times. The Perkins piece, I get it. He hasn't recovered like we thought he would from his surgery, but will the old legs of KG and Shaq and the newly aquired Nenad Krstic (how you say that name, or where he is from is completely beyond me) be able to take us on another championship run? Mucc was a little frazzled by the deal when he broke the news of this deal, but I think in all the chaos he got it just right. All these moves are interesting. Very, very interesting.
