Seems like another blockbuster trade is near completion

I'm curious how many people think we are overpaying for Bell?

Not I.

People will be surprised by Bell I think. He is easily better than Q was, at a lot less money.

Ainge sure makes me scratch my head sometimes. Why did he trade for Antione last year? To make a championship run? I think not. To make the playoffs and consequently get a crappier draft pick? Bingo! Great job Ainge. He always seems to make strange trades or draft players only he likes. Although, he made out alright in this trade. I will say that Watson is not starting caliber though.

Individual trades by ainge rarely look good. The overall effect on the organization though makes me believe he thinks 3 moves ahead.
