Not necessarily. If we can jettison Roy's contract (very possible), and if Oden can still become a good center (OK, let's say possible), and if we draft a decent backup PF (always possible) we jump right into contention.
I think if Oden becomes a good center, we'll be in contention. Getting rid of Roy won't help us get BETTER, in my opinion... it'll just be a matter of reduced opportunity cost. And we should be able to get a decent backup 4 at some point either in the draft or using our MLE (assuming that still exists ). Ed O.
Maybe if we get Ainge we can acquire the rights to "The White Mamba" Scalabrine somehow. He sneezes Conference Finals appearances... [video=youtube;4C1DVoMJoEI]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4C1DVoMJoEI[/video] Pride of Enumclaw, Washington. PA has to be salivating.
Scalabrine never should have left Boston. That guy was born to live in Boston. That video is full of win btw. It's videos like that which make the internet worth having.
Well, we know that women's tits are always a little different in size, so if his are the same size, I guess that would mean he's a guy. barfo
