2011 NBA Playoffs [East 1st Round] Boston Celtics vs New York Knicks

[parkker]

@lebroom: no worries. anyway, i'm also expecting a stronger knicks team next year (sorry, but there's no way they can climb out of a 0-3 hole, not against the celtics). if you can get CP3, good for you. that's an instant contender right there. but you still need a decent center and a perimeter defender ala bruce bowen or ron artest.

You missed Melo. I got Melo. I didn't get heartbroken by LBJ for the record. Check your facts, I have always stated that I didn't like him, but accepted that he can probably save this team. Nevermind LeBron, we got our Saviors right here.. Just didn't work out*yet* in this series, but they have brought the Knicks back to relevance.

As for CP3, please, don't make it seem as if I'm getting this out of nowhere. It can happen, we have cap space in 2012. Na explain ko na lahat, no need to repeat everything. If we can't get him It's okay. Anong heartbroken, tangin@, we have 2 superstars, and I couldn't be any happier. CP3 is icing, if he/it happens.

Not sure if both STAT and MELO got their max extensions. But we all know that the new CBA will lower down the salary cap if not a hard cap. How much can CP3 sign in NYK? Would it be around 10mil a year?

2012-2013 Salary

MELO - $19,887,905
STAT - $19,948,799

I've heard that they were talking about a 50mil or lower salary cap for the new CBA.

Yup both STAT and Melo already got the max extension. Si Billups ata $14M (not sure) so kung di nila reacquire si Billups they can get CP3 but I think the Knicks would rather look for a Center though.

I'm on mobile so I can't give you too much figures, but New York will have space in 2012. If you're a Knicks fan you'd understand. We don't have the right to doubt Donnie Walsh anymore, haha. He has delivered on EVERYTHING HE HAS PROMISED. He said he'll clear capspace, he did that, he said 2 superstars, he did that, playoffs, did that. And he said we woll have capspace in 2012 no matter what. So we will.

I don't doubt for a second that the old man isn't dreaming big. He wants Chris Paul in New York. The Toast can still happen fellas. We'll just see.

STAT and MELO equates to approximately 40mil in salary for that season. If the new CBA will have a 50mil salary cap, yes you are 10mil under the cap. So CP3 will sign an average of 10mil a year contract. We don't know if the midlevel exception would still exist in the new CBA, so basically the roster will be filled by veteran minimum contracts like MIA. That's the way I see it. Walsh can do nothing if the salary cap will be lowered in the new CBA.

hopefully DHo will be wearing the Celtic green.

Though you're being sarcastic balthier, tama ka. We have a 4-5 year window. While yours seem to be closing. So tama lang na nag eejoy kayo, medyo matagal kasi kayo mahihirapan ulit. Like what the Knicks went through for a decade. NBA is a cycle, and you're team won't always be on top. Hope you don't take this post the wrong way.

The future is still bright for the Celtics. Although the current big 3 is close to fading in the sunset, there's howard waiting to be sign.

Who knows, we might get CP3 via Rondo trade. Although it would really suck if they do trade Rondo since he's been very vital to the teams current success.

Anything's possible. After All, it was Danny Ainge who first made things possible for superstars to play together in one team.

Then we will have a new big 3. DH12 + CP3 + Jeff Green.
How's that sound? hehehe!

Jeff Green

You counting on this kid as the Cs future?




I hope Cs won't extend his contract and Ainge will just admit that he made a huge mistake by overrating this kid.

[janerdelle]

Bulls, Heat and C's are one win away of advancing to the next round, while the magic are having tough series against the hawks..

of all the 3 teams leading 3-0, the heat will advance earlier to the next round..bulls and C's will give their opponents a pity win then finish their series @ home..

in your dreams

[roy128]

if shaq comes back, mas lalakas pa sila... i think mahihirapan ang miami and even chicago...

lets see

[roy128]

so the Celtics are old right?


Boston-Miami should be a hell of a series. gonna be cheering for you guys to make it out of that series.

[farkas]

massacre square garden is trending.

[roy128]

parang tama ako "walk in the park ang boston dito"

[Larry Legend]

Are the C's really serious in pursuing Dwight Howard? How, as a free agent? He's one of my least favorite players right now. But if it would ensure that the Celtics will remain as serious contenders, I'm all for it. He just needs to lessen his goofiness, his propensity for getting technical fouls and his failures at the free throw line.

grabe naman to ayaw talaga patalo... kaya pumapanget nba eh... baka maging 2 allstars team na lang ang nba in the future...

I just realized we will still have Paul Pierce for 4 more years so here's how it should be....

Dwight Howard + Paul Pierce + CP3
