    - this is why i’d be better off forgetting everything i ever knew about computers.

    suddenly, the reality of the free market has hit me. if Doc doesn’t return and the team doesn’t re-up Ray’s contract, they might start re-building around Rondo now, and we might be Pierce-less. *gulp*

    i realize that I’m being more sentimental than practical — if i were GM, i’d be letting Pierce walk unless he re-signed for much less money so we could start building for the future. barring a miracle, the current aging core is not going to bring us another championship. i’m not the GM, though. i’m a long-time, hard-core fan. so i’m now devoting my remaining mental energies to thinking about anything and everything but this.

    more info from around the web:
    Celtics Blog reports and has some nice analysis
    Boston.com rolls out a photo montage of Paul’s time in Boston (ease up. he’s not gone until he signs elsewhere, guys.)
    Mazz represents the non-sentimental approach i’ll probably talk myself into if Pierce walks away
