Say we win the title this year, what's next?
Do we want to and should we blow it up in the off-season? Should we add a couple of pieces assuming KG doesn't retire and Pierce opts out of his contract and returns on a cheaper deal?
How do you react?
For me, I would be more confused than ever. First, we want to blow it because we have no faith in the team. Then all of a sudden they win it all. Now what? Its clear what we as fans say if not always true. So we don't blow it up?
What are your thoughts/comments/opinions?

I react by suggesting this team should be one of the favorites for next season.

I have a feeling this thread is going to end up being another one of those "bash the team" threads.
I think as long as this team shows a certain amount of promise, the core is staying together.
Keeping the core together was not the reason the franchise fell into irrelevance 20 years ago. It was misfortune. 2 absurd, tragic deaths.

I wouldn't think about anything for a few weeks, because it would be insane if we win a title this year...not that I don't think we have the talent, but it would be pretty shocking. If we're in the hunt, that means our young players (Lee, Green, Bradley) would have really stepped up, so I don't see many changes needing to be made.

Do you really want to know? Really, honestly, is this on your mind now? Why?

Easy. If we win it all this year . . . run it back.

That, terrible cap management (which was partially due to the 2 deaths), and horrendous drafting. Ainge, for all his warts, seems to have a good grasp on managing the cap properly, and is pretty good at drafting. |

Well if we win the title this year I'll probably go crazy celebrating!
...Then I'll wake up and remember to lay off the sleeping meds.

Easy:
1. Celebrate
2. Start thinking about the draft and offseason.
3. Consider writing a thank you letter to DA.
4. Celebrate.

Yeah. I think if we did win, there would be a lot of calls to move Rondo, since the perception would be that we didn't "need" him. |

Getting a little ahead of ourselves now, are we?
I would think about the last run with PP and KG, then a little in the future for that core if Rondo/Bradley/Green/Sully/Melo and maybe I'd extend Barbosa!
