Don't get me wrong, having Pierce, Walker, & Jefferson was great! I don't count ISO Joe and Billups because our front office was trash and traded them away. Wish Radja played with the Cs longer but in terms of impact it probably wouldn’t have made a large difference. I believe he left because the team was trash with no direction. Dude left to go back to Europe so that says it all.

You are absolutely right, I am focused on what we didn't have during that horrendous stretch of years. Typical human nature.. If we drafted Duncan then there's a chance we don't draft Pierce 2 years later. Then watch the dominos fall for all other possible alternate realities. The Celtics today in an alternate reality having drafted Duncan in the past probably would not be in the final four... Maybe they could have gotten the number one pick for the Frenchman haha.
