Summary: 

Danny Ainge AND Kevin McHale for Patrick Ewing ??

There is little possibility that the Celts would ever do that.

Boston consecutively sells out the Garden because of the popularity of its
players, not because of World Championships (although they certainly help).
The attendence figures during the "DYNASTY YEARS" are embarrassingly low.
But since Larry arrived, you can't buy a ticket.

BIRD, McHale, and Ainge are arguably the three most popular players in
today's Celtics uniforms. RED would never trade two of them away ... he'd
have a revolt on his hands and the attendence would drop.

One might further argue that the major reason Gerald was dealt to Seattle
was to allow Danny to blossom. The feeling in Boston is that we improved,
especially on outside shooting and defense.

Greg Kite and Carlos Clark are available, however !!
