<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>What was it like over the summer of 2007? Rumors of Paul Pierce wanting out, getting close to getting KG but falling short, then making a move for Ray Allen and thus opening the door for KG to arrive. Did you expect such a transformation after losing the draft lottery and only ending up with the No. 5 pick in the draft? Jonathan / Exeter (United Kingdom) WG: No, I didn’t expect a season exactly like this – this is magical right now. But Paul committed to us to come back strong, and we committed to find him some help. So Paul was not a worry. He's a true Celtic. Then once we traded for Ray Allen, we knew that we still had enough trade pieces to get another great player. Danny Ainge was confident we could make another move, and we did. When I was in the lottery ball room, I knew before any other Celtic that we had gotten pick No. 5. I had about 55 minutes to sit there and think how disappointed everyone was going to be. Now – it looks a lot different.</div> You can read the rest here.
The best thing about the off-season was on draft night my friend and I were disappointed ("yeah, like Ray Allen is going to help us, ), but I said "dude, just wait till the end of the summer, we'll get something big!" And there you have it, the first 60 win season in Celtic basketball since 1986.
