The Celtics are on a path to greatness with or without Howard.

I still have not heard any specifics.  Just a bunch of white noise.  So here we have a bunch of smart ass fans that do not know him yet their opinions are based on other people's opinions.

I look at it in terms of pure basketball ability and the strength of what this team is able to do in bringing diverse talent together.  Attitude is a perception.  Sometimes a percieved bad attitude is bad or not or somewhere in between.

Baynes is a free agent.  We could use another big.  My first choice would be Baynes but if the numbers do not work and we could get Howard for a year for less I am going with that.  

I am not trading Morris to keep Baynes as gyso sugessted in another post.

I am going with the best talent for the least  $$$$

In the end Danny probably has a different plan for this team.  

One thing is certain in my mind.  Baynes is a tick away from scrubville and Howard is a player in search of the perfect fit.

My underlying concern is Smart.  Sign him and avoid the luxury tax for one year.  Resign Baynes and we are fucked.  Howard could be cheeper than keeping Baynes and that could free up cash.  I am not moving Morris to keep Baynes and Smart.

Keep Smart.  We cannot keep him if Baynes gets a raise.
