Of panic. -- -- one of those right now sitting across from rob Bradford -- are bottles producing. What -- JD from -- -- Camilla the food. Who's doing the live -- today's doctor Jeff I tell you live chat live -- was ahead of -- time it was because what we have now we have a tax receipt which is -- alive tennis there are now. I'm an innovator. Because a lot of things of that innovator -- by the way that's the intro that we have for the show fiercely. We mean that's the ensure that it. What's all the -- more bells and -- not on all we got rid of that stuff. -- that it's it's right to the point get right into the conversation which at this point is re flashing to. Old days of -- Bradford with Joe's our bottlers and producer it's taking requests for rejoinder that through the live chat. Back in the day and I knew that my it was a nice -- today he brought in a bad couple known for me. It was a nice tip of the -- doesn't Diet Coke that's her favorite thing in the world I -- and movie passes I go by yourself. Diet Coke ready to go in the note -- I gave you advice. You did that which was well that's a fair exchange in my office chocolate chocolate coated candy spurred -- that that's a fair deal -- any market. This mad dog great to be here that's awesome I love the stocks and sports. Heard you guys a little bit over the week and yesterday we view and -- and dale and ups the conversation came up and will do -- to appear today. Your initial reactions Saturday general where you're drive and router he feared the kids or whatever but. Garnett back and then on top of Kevin Garnett back on Saturday morning was the -- three years and 34 million -- Your initial reaction to that on Saturday. My initial reaction was that I had to get the kids on the house does it drives me crazy. That's fair my second reaction was three years rules surprising in a third years it's probably going to be waist by you do what you have to do. And as -- said yesterday the fact is by is that. There was one guy in the free -- and the guy on the free agent market. With Kevin Garnett. So if if Kevin Garnett was planned for Charlotte. And he became a free -- Celtics signed this contract. You know everywhere and the fireworks. And a couple days would be for Kevin Garnett the and you of people would be psyched about this by instead we're hearing it's either going to be worn down in three years bubble but this and it. People should be happy about that he's a good player at a position that you desperately need help you still need help at that position -- A completely changed the course of the season when golden -- to that five spot and Avery Bradley started to emerge but he was the the turning point in my initial reaction was. You got I'm 34 mil for three years I didn't have that negative. That thirty years gonna suck reaction it was -- it's gonna help the Celtic team it's gonna help them against the salary cap and I never would have believed when he made the deal. The Garnett would have a 67 and eighth year in a Celtic uniform it was sort of a shock and surprise and that the recognition that. Could've gone to waste this offseason re load or rebuilt. Viennese chosen that the real -- what herald earlier option I've got a four year Max contract deal from Portland Maine that was sort of the other option near -- -- Garnett back. It was -- off the books. Probably trade Paul Pierce four pieces either draft day or immediately after -- free agents are to sign. And I guess go through a bottoming out period with Bradley and -- was your major backcourt combination. They avoid that with this I. I'm shocked that people are having that response at three years is too much -- I think this it gives them a huge opportunity. The -- look ahead and say okay we got a little bit of money but we have Garnett pierce Rondo and Bradley to work rallies for the next two and I don't think people are. Our our. Beaten down endorse him how can you three years an -- people understand this is reality is what he had to do you got a good raid on the annual average so good good for them. If you wanna know what you have to know about the -- -- begin with you right now -- writing. We can save the rest of the last three hours and fifteen minutes actually this will be a springboard into that. Ball right off after watching that after admitting that I watched the Olympic trials gymnastics last night for two hours. I him aspire to springboard in the last three hours and fifty minutes ago you'd need a score you do you get Ray Allen you can get Karen Garnett. You need the guys that they thought they were getting with Jeff Green. The guy that a guy who can somewhat create his own shot now Jeff Green isn't great at creating notes and shot. But he he's okay he he was perceived as the score slasher that yet so you can't have Paul Pierce playing air through the last five Nancy every of these games into army about their folk. -- -- wild one Baghdad are you a little Brothers about placing most of the time in the NBA -- right a lot of that it's not have. Yours is. An important part of this team Ray Allen would be Kevin Garnett obviously Rhonda. But to me what this team really needs the added Heath is a guy who can created zones but does that come in the form Jeff -- that if you start to look at that the -- -- and don't talk real pursuant -- that next step if you assume Garnett back in the -- You would you assume Jeff green is that I've been brought Jeff Green back is that the peace. Because to me they were a good Avery Bradley healthy Avery Bradley away from winning last year so why what's the scoring need necessarily I don't. Off gentry is -- guy on things like Jason Terry obviously did -- they've made some inquiries about Jason Terry. Like decent I think that that would be a good complementary tablet guide -- today we -- talking about I don't know the going to be again I'm. By someone who can create a little bit someone who can score a little bit. And and then you have view of the markers and in May be Salinger does something or Melo and hard to believe rookies in dot if you don't really know I don't Holland isn't in you know. All these -- sixteens might not want to talk about -- ST I can say seems OK okay so Ryan Hall I know of any effect I know he's. Let me get that paper for me where I was there from. There the New York off the top of the -- Exact same thing in game three. Not to use -- teams' movements in Minnesota he's dead to me. Once he wants it but once you go somewhere else and talked to somebody else you're dead so you think scoring is the -- to me bullet went on. You argue that much for the promise yes sure you need a senator absolutely need a senator but your gonna get one. You are at -- this is. You have to be realistic about this in this is exactly why they dram -- my belt same reason -- -- to Kendrick Perkins guy went 120% body fat the 14%. He was the project they made the most of what they had with them. That's how you get centers in the NBA more times -- not. But it's -- EUK at what other than getting going out and get a proxy trend developing what. Gonna do it that's how you get. Senators in this league and soldiers a guy that a year ago was eight the number one pick not just a top five pick object of the number one guy. You give him -- to the back and -- a problem to draft. I think Garnett artists they did a prominent draft your pocket of offense and talk about the projects at the size -- you make a very good point about getting senators at this position. I look forward now with Garnett in the fold. I think immediately if they are able to keep score out of her second. Bring back a lot of pieces they had lectures not going to be the sexy play it's not going to be any new names you might ever be able aboard by. But there immediately the favorite to be the number 2 seed Eastern Conference -- Richard once you've signed up before this year started when he saw that. End of the tunnel for Garnett what's Reagan and you'll get to rank Rondo what's his attitude the day the opening opening day of the season the the story comes out on Rondo and thrown up. Glass bottle the Iowa a video screen for Doc Rivers Hewitt says -- get to game 7 Eastern Conference finals and oh by the way. To be the favorite the next year he's got to be back. I signed for that that. Oh you are army game that is what what is the minute he said -- he should drop the spinal Spinal Tap Kara what's wrong with being sexy. The big got -- because I know health they sexiest some pointers. By. OK you know if you're saying that it's not the sexy played him bring back everybody wearing GO. You you're saying that you're right it's not but what is actually get you what is actually -- you if you bring these guys back. All I'm saying is it if you were able to get a Jason Terry. How much. I think it added eleven million dollars last year analysts and expensive. So -- OJ Mayo OJ Mayo all these guys rewards Jeff Green. Which I gently Jeffrey you thought you're getting but see that's the one that sees most reasonable to me because if doc has come out and he's been. It was right about KG he's come out the last 24 hours 48 hours and set a positive on rail I'd suggest going to be back. Jeff Green hung out the team all year they were some something weird about that where he stayed away. Right into staying with the team he's on the bench for a lot of these he's getting paid isn't. On the -- He's a god that they -- now it's the fifth round when I get it made -- hang around the -- aren't we knew was gonna play all -- -- -- that surgery and still kept contact he could have known -- going to be unrestricted -- they they when they were not a contract all yeah -- the rights to his contract beyond the immediate became unrestricted free agent and you're -- distance himself because it would stay with this team and stayed around -- it was still. Seemingly into what went on there I think he's going to be back in the mix and what you get him involved. I think they become. Policy title contenders. But the immediate kind of the immediate enemy for Miami for another year. And they do that with a team that I think showed you -- one a lot of Celtics fans back with the way they played -- -- -- right now he's Jeff Green. Because it gives if you're probably help the greens an athlete you can spend some time helping Paul Pierce defensively. May pierce had to guard a lot any good dollar and Josh Smith he worked his ass off -- can mix in some of those minutes you're looking ahead. I give you better shot against their cut the favorite -- I operate by you know it's a big effort to begin after feet even if you keep all those guys healthy. To me you still need another score another creator. Well is that score Ray Allen and is -- -- -- -- a -- is the salary being tossed route Ray Allen -- it yourself -- wanna get to that get your reaction.
