Where do the Celtics get their 'next' Super-Star from?

way and holly -- at a big show for 35 today Terry Francona will join us ESPN's own Terry Francona. Actually we actually what are adds that to actually got a great week here. In the week got -- today.

We've got Jack Edwards tomorrow. We've got Danny Ainge on Friday correct so we're still trying to track down -- where's it. And mature and ready for the all star game.

Israel sent two human -- show tomorrow. I know he's so he's got a little vacation and lubrication. All star break into an immediate hit gig it was damaged during his vacation time. Wait to -- incomes -- you of former -- for ten minutes you're there for ten minutes. Haven't talked to Max and it has got to get -- back on in -- the points. Pentagon report which party. -- port. Or to another party for -- governor about the Rondo party. And perks tablet. In -- they're gonna have announcements on the radio to Oklahoma City I'd come on out. Party got to -- today and went to the ball. Anderson Hercules and Kendrick -- All stars last Rajon Rondo birthday parties I appreciate people coming up with -- all the various trades on the text line. James Harden available nice player easy to guard shooter the conformity -- exactly. She betrays the Danny makes may be not for the player was originally going to be a eventually going to be the guy. That's going to be the backbone of the next championship team -- by Pete just picking up some commodities and pieces here. People people throw those pieces out -- pieces are irrelevant Michael just -- You gotta find your next superstar. That's -- that's how you build in the NBA. And you need to get it doing of the weight -- any -- getting older players who are the superstar level. As he did in 08. What you get real bad. And you get. Kevin grant you go out and get yourself Derrick Rose get yourself a guy that now becomes the centerpiece for the team you can build rebuild around the piece is around at. Not the difficult part building benches in the NBA is not different.

The difficult part is -- and a guy who can get old and if you think Rondo was that guy you really you have no dilemma I figured Danny Ainge. Few things Randall's a guy -- goes under contract to build around Rondo but my sense is that he doesn't he's not sure. If he can build around around over the Rondo was with -- Rondo being the one or Rondo. Is a one way or -- somebody.

Giving the other an NBA coach -- only those that. It becomes much more difficult to go get those pieces when you have any. Bad or mediocre team that has a lot of money under the cap you would think just the opposite I'll tell you why because. You end up overpaying. Those guys so if you look at the Celtics right now which -- the Celtics and see what they're paying to get some pretty decent. Bench players for example Mickael Pietrus is a pretty decent bench boy he's getting one point 223 million you don't want. That's the only money the -- that's all -- they now they were 24 million under the cap. His age it would be -- air -- for 45 million so pitchers is gonna make a decision as aids is gonna say it won't act which -- a bad game. And we can just push for four million. Org which team that might have a chance to win the championship -- only getting one point two we go one year deal have a great year and and somebody gives you 45 million the next year. You don't wanna be one of those teams it's much easier building to -- you've seen it would Miami. At a minimum. Veteran minimum contracts to hand out. Because I don't and that's all that and all they can do in those guys -- I wanna play LeBron right how to play with -- way -- flaws and I wanna win that they ran get a championship so. Next year of the bass is the teachers and by the way they're raw. They're all under you know one year contract that's actually as a player option next year. Com. It will be looking for a lot more money elsewhere. Mature -- and -- and again. Finished even a car hi Steve.

I don't -- he puts out. Just and her talk any rate the -- at a couple of all the talent you got touched on one and also not only got that about a topic that I want that are out there. First one is insult that's being under the cap extra ticket absorbed into the contract. Without sending much back if they want to. Trade with the team that you know -- look contract they hit it here and it checker picked. And -- it is now a contract at that point my ass out of this. And the -- and lenders want to Alter that one crack under that the restrict operate in. India and it could throw it hurt three point whatever million that makes him don't make a minister next year so at the -- with -- all that money. Could make an offer to one of several -- convert or -- army. Oprah changed or moved into an hopes at eat she would not eight or.

Well they could do that might my guess is that Indiana's gonna give him an extension would you.

You drop. -- in there -- market -- McHugh. And or produced or sixteen.

I was just gonna say they've got some that's when it comes down to who you -- today you're you're absolutely right okay that there's another team to do whether it's the Celtics somebody else. Wrote quote whereas hold on their way under the care. Indiana next his way out of it but it Lopez. Hibbert McGee okay those are all they're nice guys to have. But. Come on out wouldn't over an English superstar I don't went over paid that much Freddie problem.

Yeah I mean I I think he does and -- people look at it is that.

Now hold on listen to what you just said though this data in and Michael hit on. What you can't afford to do when you have to 44 million dollars under the -- by the way I Indiana has about the same amount of money next year. You don't want over a for complementary. Players okay. What you need to do is unfortunately in the NBA -- two classes are the superstar rich. And then there the bottom of the barrel poor guys I don't wanna have a lot of those guys in between in the middle class that does work. And that's which you would end up with somebody. Like Hibbert. I mean he's a superstar he's -- he's a good. Starting player obviously but a complementary type of guy.

I disagree on that but that smokers on.

You can okay -- so in other words you think he is a can you build a championship team all around Roy Hibbert can he be the number one player on a championship team. But -- just that's all talking about and I know that's that's those are lofty those are lofty standards and it's a lot to ask for and -- is an exercise in frustration because you don't have a lot of superstars anyway. No matter what their contract status it -- don't have a bunch of those guys we say you can put him on the team. And we can go some place has behind him OK Roy Hibbert this year fourteen points -- rebounds. --

Is it -- grammys tonight a nice player a good partner. I -- I mean in a Granger is you're in your -- and I -- I don't talk about them being a small market team whatever. They outbid the Celtics for David West is still David -- away from the big market team. Roll so the stuff they said David west side idiotic and it offered a more money. A quick break at the top of the hour reminder again for 35. Will talk with Tito Francona review and action.
