KG to Boston - implications

It's done, with Boston emptying most of its bench, and KG waiving his trade kicker in return for a 3-year extension. But Vegas still doesn't make the Pierce-Allen-KG Celtics the favorite in the east, with the Heat still having better odds than the Celtics to make the NBA Finals in 2008. I will need to think about it some more first, but my first blush opinion is to agree - I don't think the Celtics have enough yet. We'll see if the owner is willing to keep spending well above the luxury tax - they need another PG and a 4/5, and they still have their midlevel exception of $5.3 million to spend - if the owner is willing to do so.
