It's not a good trade. But dammit, it'll get me interested in Celts basketball. McComas, I agree with you. It’s not a good trade. But dammit, it’ll get me interested in Celts basketball.

I followed the Celtics, I knew every name, and even had their trading cards in triple embossed foil laminate holo whatnot. Eventually, my fancies shifted and I lost touch with the game, the point that I don't recognize most of the players. However, for his loyalty and fire, KG has stayed in my consciousness while playing a sport I no longer care about. I hear tell that giving up this Jefferson fellow in such a trade would be a grave error for the future of the franchise, but still, I will actually tune in and (gasp) buy tickets to watch KG play. I'm not saying it is a good trade, nor am I saying I am good hoops fan (I'm not), but I am Ainge's fantasy: one of a million of lapsed fans who will put down dollars and open eyeballs for last year's NBA worst record Celtics. I am just waiting for word to come over the wire. As a child, basketball was my game.

Somebody needs to take the celtics to task for this.
