Cedric Maxwell

" Is that all Celtics all day here in this radio station I suspect between now and win the the consummate the deal for Kevin Garnett it's going to be all Celtics all the time is the pull itself up some opposite perspective. As he still has it -- to pull the trigger on the Al Jefferson. Theo Ratliff. Sebastien -- Gerald green any future draft choice to Minnesota for Kevin Garnett is our friends Cedric Maxwell Celtic broadcaster good morning max how aria. Good morning gentlemen are you got bill. What's your first reaction of the fact that ray Allen. Paul Pierce and Kevin Garnett are going to be the new Big Three of the Boston Celtics sometime this year."

" Well I think you know I'm disappointed in the back out chipped it past the first thing -- but apt that that. What is so -- two things one is that this team has become relevant. And I think that's more important -- that this team is in the market read about the patriot is team now -- it some new active. Share it I'll be very very its product in more than. You or so older is a willing to commit. What might need this past while sure that you can negate Kevin Garnett who wants. Pension management it's in the contract."

" were told the Garnett and ray Allen Paul -- of not only already signed off on this whole thing with -- said to be absolutely thrilled at the opportunity to play together and win a championship does that surprise you that the three guys want to get along and want to play together and want to work together on the Celtics."

" Not at that surprised me in in that back -- each one of the guys you mentioned are hungry to be the -- in the relic. There's two struck out there own right now the thing about our our pay where are they in their career -- that you would think that like might be -- in just a little bit but it went over the age on the players what the demolished -- But if they can stay healthy I think it's the it would make it to -- it. Great so. Hand people ought to say they embossed in new government at the read them like that would open but. It is say he's a good situation where it these guys want to it. In -- not want to -- as well -- really real -- Both got in that make the plate I'll let you -- within the -- but what -- I think if -- say eight a no win situation all of which which well."

" Next Bob -- how do you defend next hey how you defend these three and really take. If Rondo is not part of this deal really take on his game. Taken to wait a new. And more professional level in other words my question is without an experienced point -- that. Will that take back from the offensive proficiency of years Allen and Garnett."

" That's very good question in the -- if you'd need people what -- bad. You'd need the -- to distribute the basketball. Okay is that you can have that it Bill Parcells would say you know you can have the best ingredients in the work in the kitchen but you're not they're the hooked it in gated that's what the quarterback that's which which part. Cook the so I think that rod that would have to take his game to a new level yet. Not in -- in the elected imagines would be because I think you give up a lot but. If Garnett are ready but Kevin Garnett to great players so it areas. I think date you're gonna have to be it out that take his game to another level to deal with three guys who. In in all right -- on the B Altman I think it would and I'm excited because. I would -- Kevin Garnett yet to Spain this ritual where. The -- compiled up in the air it -- it's rated dude jumped all. -- to went out of the or ounces chest means that bit him in the old in the may have let that there how was the -- will be you know. It is going to be all the other double what you so. Excitement that would be dumped in a rich as what are commit to another French it means to make it relevant the world the favorite spot though I think the one."

" Actually pleased that although -- learned that that Rondo is not a part of a deal and in fact it might have been done a weaker too sooner had they included mchale -- Rondo -- to not want to give up Rondo and apparently -- has won the battle of wills which means he looks at Rajon Rondo as his point guard of the future."

" Yeah I think they're Rondo is a welcome that last year initially -- skeptical about rod though because he. He does not shoot well we've seen that but he does so many other so well that -- make up. Sectional with a basketball IQ -- off the chart for eight and he'd know how to make plays he has a deal with a K. And that's when have been so disappointed in watching Gerald green stroke ring as -- athletically is deal with the game. Did not seem -- old in."

" as we look at this. This Big Three as John pointed out you play it and number I'll."

" Amanda well that's really -- say that you know what people thought there right now I'd do it no we when you're at. But it but it net and pick the -- the second coming like that I cannot look like the large boat load of bad."

" Use that as Adam the background to this question because when you play at the Celtics when you have the the so called Big Three real victory that both players spent on other individual teams and you were few every individual team. Coach could have averaged 20 game. -- got bird and mchale and parish and change and DJ in Hewitt all the guys. Were able to play as a team and kind of checked their ego is. Primarily at the door let's face pierce. Alan and Garnett have been the -- to individual guys on their respective teams. How are they going to check the egos at the door and because ATV 8 am."

" Well I think certain -- have done it eight of them up karma. -- that is. So we knew what to what the Lakers in my opinion problem with the -- or over the lleyton no disrespect the government -- but to let that longevity numbers. But you'd look what you deal we went to play with that great -- to. It took the secondary approach he backed off the other he had top spot in the deal with that may get there so. He yet so they're big players with that it's it's a role to take secondary position. If I would be more concerned to meet will be all year because Paul Pierce's -- in Atlanta -- security has -- the -- These Paul Peterson jurors so now they have a great player like Kevin Garnett who is probably there I'd say there other then Paul Pierce. You know how does -- the active and I'll always by the populace wondered. You know he always would have 88 this -- to its key you have -- it up Batman and Robin. Well without all used to be -- he'd bat may have bad I don't beat you worked as well so I think you'll be effective maybe. Rated in the 80 badly that they UB that they that. In the -- gadget up about collectively as a unit I think that it will all mixed together because they do want to wind that they have a lot."

" we've talked about the expectations now Rondell what his role and responsibility will be on this team elected turn our attention to the -- that's left behind Al Jefferson out Kendrick Perkins in. Obviously the -- be looking for scoring from Kendrick Perkins because here's rail and KG combined average 67 points over their career per game on all added up what what look what will Doc -- city Kendrick Perkins on the first day of training camp in terms of what he expects out of this kid."

" Do which you've been due to the edge to do they'll be rebound the basketball -- secondary shots go look. To be a primary go to -- in -- You know you'll be taken up crop up the table that we -- nate I guarantee you they won't have a plate that bad. For perk at all he would feel level like I've -- we want to -- them -- went -- evident that. He will give it beaten the tape loses or because -- second chance opportunity lips around the basket when he -- to court. So that thought they would ask her to do the Colombian simply -- now what part we will do that yet ever predicted contract. That an extension a cup leaguers beat you make about warp million dollar a year so -- that position and learn from Kevin Garnett. All years. Ray Allen I think it's a really really good they now I must say -- that I gotta think any gains and then this is may be -- that. When they got rid of Allan -- It helped that as a broadcast helped me as a broadcast now been Allan ray ray Allen which when we go to that is they put. -- rail wavered again that they it."

" so Kendrick will be looking at old Tom -- winkle footage and say play like this contest shots around the basket rebound outlet passes and -- hitting the rolls off the offensive -- you go get it put it back."

" Well he about -- it'll -- right now 88 former Celtic all of they've. And his name it is number is not in the -- but John wooden shelf left the whole you know they know what in the pick they won't want him to be. -- around that basket you know you'll take the notes -- instantly probably be stronger players. -- Eddie repeat you'd be in the -- with some of the things they did you get a great. It again if he currently -- he'd been against them the other in New York -- on several that book but it got so. Willing to take that challenge speak differently you know -- they'd have to give my older -- now at the at you know the opposite mean"

" as you look at the east now on -- oldest is just a guesstimate a projection on your part if you try to establish in the top five teams are in the east in no particular order how do you rank Chicago Miami Cleveland Detroit and would you put Boston and -- top five now when trade is done."

" That this trade is. The ball has moved up that lap with some that the enemy use you add it without the field you know how you beat Washington. I'll watch an attitude that you'll read them back what you bet that this new year's you know -- that it boosters which made you so you're past them though it probably -- that would say. The expectation level is going to be -- In the -- Someplace in this any thing although they had that they get protection of this thing or what they'll give such he is gone vehicle they're."

" A lot of heat on Doc Rivers next because let's face it I mean this guy has been. -- under fire this some folks around that they'll thinking coach -- he's never won a playoff series yet Tracy McGrady in Orlando he got Paul Pierce of Boston navy did not have the pieces around those players to. Take a team deep in the playoffs but now he's got three guys Garnett. Alan pierce he's going to melded together as a team my impression here is now the heat is on this guy big time. I Cedric and if he doesn't take this team deep into the playoffs that that that his reputation is going to be at stake here working with these three great players."

" No me I'm probably going to have to disagree because I think what she viewed by giving stop rivers and Kevin Garnett this situation is that insecure in the may have Brcko in the weather that. He has he has purple -- going to be bad that is going to be a good winning combination the only pressure that they. And on you know is to get these guys. It checked it checked their ego at the do it he didn't do that. I think get fumble like you know these palace now the weighty like explain what they can come up in the air mandate just block the -- a lot about themselves so stop. Really challenge would be he's got to check there eagles but what he does bat I think he would have a good match of -- opted. Now that they look at this team would be unique thing is going to be what they you want to -- it to me and me because beat the -- everywhere that we talked about. Other -- Kevin Garnett you know that those Big Three. Might be allowed build the eat sensibly they picked up beat definitely they can they do that also brought the."

" Max a -- put a check Mark in an okay and your blocks for the straight."

" Okay well I I think now I'm I'm excited on the site at all I'd make sure I don't record he. I don't like losing out job. This could be one those things -- come back and watch you you know we use but if you have giving them Garnett makes it -- on this kind. And you have it with the used to cut. Along with all your you have nothing but loose skip he's -- they help. What in the -- thing it makes it ain't relevant so I'm going to give the big goal check."

" Cedric -- the talk of basketball league match we'll talk to down the road out sure got beat out loud people would get this straight go to Europe it's. It's go through the next day or two thanks back -- Cedric Maxwell with the you know an enemy"
