    Fiction - I suppose the Payton trade amendment doesn't count, but even without that, I think he has one move left. But it won't be Payton (we need him to show Banks and West the ropes) or Fox (We need his expiring contract).

    Fact or Fiction - Knicks have too many players who hog the ball, and a coach who does not have the fire to gain player's respect and instill team ball. They will bomb next season

    Fiction, I think they'll have a pretty good year. I'm still worried about the Nets more that the Knicks though.

    Fact or Fiction? With Banks back, West will play some SG this year in order to get him more minutes.

    Fiction, just based on his own words...

    Fact of Fiction? Payton will retire, and Ainge will spend the money on an available free agent.

    Fiction - I am really afraid that he will retire, especially given what he's saying right now, but I still say the guy has too much pride to go out like this. He may demand to get traded to another contender, but I don't think he will retire. He still has gas left.

    Fact of Fiction - Given that Banks and West are again back on the same team, if and when Payton leaves, West will start at PG over Banks

    Fiction. Googs is insurance for the big man rotation of Raef, Blount, Big Al, and Perkins. He will play 10 minutes at most, unless there is an injury.

    Fact or Fiction - the Boston Garden was the greatest place in the universe to watch a ball game.

    I do. You should be careful about speaking for others NEfool.

    <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">Fact or Fiction - the Boston Garden was the greatest place in the universe to watch a ball game</div>

    The Gahden was a great venue to experience basketball. I loved it. There will never be a playing atmosphere like the Gahden ever again.

    Greatest place in the universe? I don't think anyone's qualified to answer that one, but it's up there, IMO.

    I like experiencing games at MSG, also.

    <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">Fact or Fiction: Ricky davis work in the offseason will earn him the starting spot and will take him out of trade rumors.</div>

    Let's break that one down:

    Fact that he'll work hard in the offseason.
    Fiction that he'll start. (He should have last year, but didn't. I think he should, but just can't shake the feeling that he'll come off the bench for some reason)Fiction that he'll be removed from trade rumors. (he's got one of the best contracts vs talent on the team. As long as he's here and doesn't emerge as an all-star, he'll be open for trading.)


    Fact or Fiction: Someone from this forum will win the Celticsblog's, Trade Gary Payton contest.

    <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">Fact or Fiction: Someone from this forum will win the Celticsblog's, Trade Gary Payton contest.</div>Fiction. I was an honorable mention, even though my idea was the best and most realistic.

    Fact or Fiction? Paul Pierce will be traded before the season starts.

    Fact, Paul Pierce will be traded before the season starts. Danny Ainge is trigger happy and will be looking to build for the future instead of the present.

    Fact or Fiction? The Celtics will select a big man in this draft to compliment Jefferson.

    Fact. If Ainge is smart, he`ll make the right choice for Boston.

    Fiction, elite is a stretch. We will be competitive, but probably be the 3rd seed again.

    Fact or Fiction? Antoine Walker will be back next year.
