Up period right now merit ago Axel and go to the Boston Celtics Doc Rivers good morning doc hell aria. Now notice it and we know you're -- weighs somewhere eight Vietnam. The credit to him but the critics of this deal that there are many -- nationally -- ray Allen doesn't make anybody on the Celtics better I don't get that. Does -- make Paul Pierce. Get easier shots doesn't allow floor spacing for Al Jefferson have a little more room to operate inside doesn't that by definition make other people better.

Yeah yeah actually build them and that's what we knew he would have a match we've been you're going to do you know I felt that obviously I think it allowed us to have better rotation when -- when Paul what the floor and every element. More you never felt -- and so you know them -- I -- we always say whenever we took all the floor. However the reality in the first goal -- so I disagree with -- obviously would would never betrayed the -- that sure.

It's want to make sure we're we're clear here used to the other day it was going to be a lot of lying going on but now that the draft is over you can be honest right. A now I know speak your line right there up -- up close with this deal to not being done yesterday.

I was really close is -- side two days ago I thought it was done vehicle the Big East for the draft like he's not going to happen two. You know in the morning it looked like norm now Albrecht then and they -- most different -- that we back now and that the final call we've been -- this unit where I'll it was a lot of smoke and they called back involved of that Guillen to do.

It it strikes beat and as funny doc -- all the names of all the places all the trades that were talked. The Kevin Garnett the Kobe Bryant the Amare Stoudamire Shawn Marion. Nobody heard anything about this deal I guess at the glove for quite some time everything we thought might happen didn't and nothing we had heard of actually did.

Yeah Adam you know it's unusual stress relief to -- a time. Out that it didn't like beers with a player like where talent. Have -- and nobody really knows about it admitted it was little replied and development team you're eventually get out -- can you estimate background involved more background checks. You know our ultimate because they McMillen Len and Bob field a culture Eleanor you know Ben recalled another opinion do you -- that's -- that you start ultimately gets around -- right. Are obviously pretty volatile and quoted friends and extradite.

You know about it seems to me the prior to last night there were four prerequisites in most people's minds as it applied to how the Celtics should act last night and they are no particular order helluva lot of people said you gotta keep Al Jefferson he's part of the core going forward with Paul Pierce and whatever else you do you've done that so far not to. Win now figure a way to win now and be competitive in the east and get in the playoffs I think with ray -- addition you probably done that the third school of -- the third pre requisite what dont add yet another 21 year old kid. Who's going to take you know 23 year to develop and really not contribute now and help you to do. Number beat number two which is win now and the third fourth thing would be gets help. For Paul Pierce in terms of veteran and you got minister accomplish all of that and yet nobody standing up universally applauding. The ray -- deal.

They're more resentment in -- you guys that much in the one move so no one had time to prepare for wouldn't interfere and get out apart. We didn't know it would have thought that was a great coming movement we -- thought without all the things but he brought. But for the most part we did not let our core you look you know oh we should I -- that we really valued -- You know abuse the guys you want to build around and and that's not including all -- You know then I'm -- that court and think editorial and so you know just really not lob and it -- Sunday can turn out to be your word for. Go actually -- you know no -- than in the Bridget. Well when you know people we know what you can do he's a veteran he's experienced and I think we needed that more than anything else.

One thing that that people concerned about doctor is will there be enough touches. -- around for ray Allen and Paul Pierce you kind of dealt with that a little bit and I know injuries obviously took its toll a grant hill but. How did you handle that in Orlando with McGrady grant hill.

They didn't care because you know Greg it'll -- even -- he typically score always preferred to be. You know really didn't this little different of Paul Pierce and -- among -- the benefit they perform to. He referred to shoot the ball -- no -- and other post player. Who got a terrific that has been terrific so will do well I don't it is going to be a -- you know I mean I think there's enough -- work attempt to all went well. A lot of the other guys -- from the federal.

Would you be surprised Dawkins they know the deal is not made before training camp in the gap is yet to that is yes -- would be surprised do you suspect he will be. A big one a middle of the road or something small and minor.

I think it was a small little going to make a big deal but I would be applied at all. -- make a deal wouldn't know it is still needed a couple of good lead back at point guard four result -- a lot of people didn't and other -- sort of the users but it it is healthy and -- you know but at double but yet but they're here.

I will have to try you're dying fingers and Danny angel dying fingers off Al Jefferson. To get him out of Boston.

In that order where I think. You know obviously because that deal was going to develop.

Tomorrow.

We've lost box propeller -- like it to or just Portland to -- radio xsilence along al -- for now is not going anywhere he said. -- you outlined what in all not a lot -- Weekend auto of the light and here's what your lives -- Kevin Garnett -- Kevin Garnett women don't cry on on a crossbow on me now I am flying. Listen I'm Warren -- you know. Like little my life like oh my girlfriend I'm well I don't know very distant -- I don't know I don't know it on. I like oh. I I'm just hasn't -- and now that you want to tank -- did you. I'd love out of I don't want to see Al Jefferson go anywhere. Kevin Garnett said. That's one of the few guys that would make -- part without him I'm really -- it is they said. I've watched al development I'd like this team continue to develop here and I'd like this team for the next thing Houston. Now I I also don't totally believe that when I hear that it is dandy. Any good coach or general manager is going to -- as well they should. They should tell me that route your agent tell you Drew your colon doc a liar -- anywhere so again that's music in my ears dot. Al Jefferson is he going to be a Celtic the long --

No idea that you know obviously you can never guarantee anything -- I would not give them what he's very good out there can be solved a long long back.

Aside I qualified and it's one of -- want to make sure we can guarantee I actually yeah oh yeah this with a chance he's part of the court award 40 to understand that from now I could be asked to fill in the role for Tony product being an assistant coach next year pay our UN -- palace are you able to -- confirm that the talks were very serious about Kevin Garnett and how that broke down.

Well contribute there -- talks are obviously but I don't know how serious they ever got he did not allow. You know it when he does the dialect that dimensional around a big problem here particularly BA people are the bottom we were worn out.

Do you have a sense as to who stepped do you give census to boost up the -- say no we're not giving Al Jefferson or they said productive to sell Jefferson we're step away how that worked

it will never get -- oh you know both stringent talked about in the long putt probably about yet again to one district of attendance but the rumor that is why I mean they're they're amazing how many different. Rumors -- miles from the Chilean somewhere about a -- army go on port.

Al certainly no stranger to it to trade rumors because he heard his name on about with the Allen Iverson last year -- he handled the.

Add -- we talked a lot he -- There it well Allen obviously very close the big -- from it and you know -- told -- wouldn't you couldn't even -- to project that would do.

That tell us about what he's been doing during the offseason.

I don't -- about as well you're. You won a -- itself -- ago genre that all of our guys who have been working hard and they and that's important.

When July Glen Davis -- working his butt off.

What do you moved into our. Distributed for a minute ago -- with Charles Barkley here like that you want them instantly but I actually don't want people lose. Well all that good. I haven't read them they're so -- yeah what they don't like when -- of the city communities in this court it's there's you warm air and and that's pretty nice lectured. If you have quick defense.

It what what skills does Gabe Pruitt brains in is he sort of a de facto replacement for Delonte.

It's like now we're here you know I -- as a matter mirrored we're that is you know then you went went -- and you know we're the tournament -- glory then -- like this guys who like this is athletic ability to hit the foul shooter so you know that that was what though.

The but I do you bring out to Vegas with the next week.

All know I don't know that I would which are the bill that right now if you add them it wouldn't let it probably does. Who do identified and you do and we're going to do it throughout the -- very empty and so right now that threaten Turkey breast but. Then we'll know -- the next couple.

I assume. Roger will be out there will -- be out there.

You have to go to prepared wears on the either and we jumped poll that we do. --

All right doc thanks Todd this morning have a safe flight -- doc Doc Rivers with you know and Dickerson. Jefferson's at least as you don't guarantee any guarantee anything which clearly they value or I well as part of that part of the future I I I have said before in in my eyes as far as I know. They would trade Al Jefferson for about 45 guys in the NBA one being Kevin Garnett. One being early on Garnett is a lot of the gazette that didn't get done. I don't think that was grateful that -- I think that was more Minnesota open -- Belgium's wasn't enough. Now that the Garnett coming held it up by not wanting to or coming -- wanting -- just an agent taught that it was -- ancient top again. I don't think that that deal with -- Artest say it's gonna happen but -- I guarantee there will be more talk surrounding Kevin Garnett and the Celtics and weeks to come
