much better than most suspect. It is interesting to hear and read ideas of their demise. This team has Loads of talent. In fact they have the assets of being a dynamic team. A look at their forwards: Bass, Green, Humphries, Wallace and Sullinger. All Five can start in most and many teams. While Bass, Humphries and Sullinger are best suited at the 4, Green can do both 3/4. With Wallace at the 3, Brooks and Bogans can swing from 2 to 3. There is no shortage at guard talent (except backup point) with Courtney Lee, Avery Bradley, Jordan Crawford and of course Rondo. The question is center where they are young and inexperienced. I believe Ainge being the active master trader will remedy this. If I may be Ainge, a Bass, Humphries and Bogan trade to Houston for Asik and Lin. This trade would have them challenging for the East top spot. Don't sleep on these guys.
