Beefed up Celtics

The sun hasn't shone on the NBA's most successful franchise since their last championship two decades ago. They haven't had an all-world player since the legendary Larry Bird left in the early 90's.

After toiling at the bottom of the league for years, they're back in the spotlight. The Boston Celtics just acquired superstar Kevin Garnett via a trade with the Minnesota Timberwolves. He joins two more All-Stars, Paul Pierce and Ray Allen in forming what could be the best big-name trio in the NBA today.

With such an awesome nucleus, they just need to fill in the gaps with quality role players. Despite the lack in depth, I think they have a very good chance of winning the East next season.

If Cleveland won the East last year with only Lebron James, imagine what the Celtics can do with the Big Ticket, The Truth and Jesus in one roster.

We'll all find out in a couple of months. This is going to be exciting.
