Banner17, which owns the Boston Celtics franchise, is all about bringing back the Red Auerbach style of management. If you remember, Dennis Johnson, Robert Parrish, KEvin Mchale, even Danny Ainge were traded. This is their way of building. They might be looking at draft choices in the future down the road. I remember Larry Bird being drafted one year before his eligibility. They had to wait for a year befrore seeing Larry in uniform, that's how bad they wanted him. I also remember them using a lot of resources in trades and draft choices to bag Len Bias, only to see him die of drug overdose while celebrating being drafted by the Celtics. Those were lean years, they had to persuade Larry Bird to postpone retiring as they pinned their hopes on Bias.
Shaq to Cavs is a brilliant move. There are a lot of teams building warchest to be able to acquire Lebron, with the management buildup of Cavs, it would be easier for them to retain Lebron.
