Post NBA Lockout moves the Boston Celtics should consider - acquiring Chris Paul?

A recent report from Sam Amick, of Sports Illustrated, says that the Boston Celtics are hoping to land marquee point guard Chris Paul of the New Orleans Hornets.

While it is no shock that the Celtics are hoping to improve their roster after last season's disappointment in the playoffs, the last position on the court anyone would have considered upgrading is point guard.

Rajon Rondo has been a vital piece for the Celtics over the past few seasons as the team has averaged 58.5 wins per season with him in the line-up.

Post NBA Lockout Moves the Boston Celtics should Consider: Trading Kevin Garnett

Kevin Garnett has been a vital piece of the Boston Celtics organization since joining from the Minnesota Timberwolves all those years ago. His passion and competitive spirit was crucial as the team reached multiple NBA finals over the past few years.

However Garnett's passion and competitive spirit no longer eclipses his cumbersome and frail performances.

Garnett really struggled with the pace of the professional game last year, this isn't a surprise considering his recent injury problems.

New England Patriots v. Kansas City Chiefs: What do we know about Tyler Palko?

The New England Patriots face off against the Kansas City Chiefs on Monday Night looking to build on last week's victory against the New York Jets.

The Chiefs season has been decimated by injuries to key players such as Eric Berry, Tony Moeaki, Jamaal Charles and most recently, starting quarterback Matt Cassel.

Cassel is a former Patriot who the team traded to the Chiefs for a second round pick, along with Mike Vrabel, after the 2008 season.

NBA Lockout hurting Boston Celtics more than most


The pessimism that is surrounding the NBA lockout talks appears to be neverending. As the chances of any season this year are dwindling away with the turning of the calender, as are the Boston Celtics' chances of continuing their recent successes on the back of the big three.

Last season, the Celtics looked old and slow as they were ousted by the Miami Heat in the NBA playoffs.
