George to Boston would be frustrating. He's a generational talent and if Ainge doesn't give up the first pick for him, I don't know what he's saving it for.

Great trade by Bryan Colangelo!
There were going to lose Noel for nothing and since returning from injury he really looks mediocre. I don't know how much protection is on that pick but if it's only top 5 or so that would be an incredible haul for an expiring Noel.
PHI = the future of this league
2nd fav team right now.

I'm actually not that terrified of George going to Boston, especially if the Raptors can land another wing (preferably defender).
I think Ibaka will have that big of an effect and I don't believe Boston is as good as everyone says. Raptors playing at their worst still almost beat them but for IT going ham.
Plus, the haul for George will weaken at least he Celtics bench, likely their starters too.Sunny ways my friends, sunny ways
Because its 2015

I have to say, I thought Colangelo could have done better. I guess he's banking on the Mavs being horrible next season.

If he's not traded by end of day he will be gone either by the draft or following deadline. He is a C and despite Simmons handling PG duties I'm willing to bet long term he will be play at the PF position especially after this draft when they come away with one of DS Jr, Ball or Monk. They made it clear at this last draft who they consider a part of their future...Noel AND Okafor's names were both clearly excluded.

Right now I'd take the Raptors over Boston in a series without hesitation, if the Celtics get PG they are at least on Toronto's level and arguably ahead of us.
Also, next to Kawhi, PG is probably the best SF a team that wants to beat the Cavs could get."We're playing in a building." -- Kawhi Leonard
