       BlockBuster Move - Brooklyn and Boston

       Pretty late, but here is my take on the trade. Brooklyn becomes
       and instant contender out of the east. They have acquired two
       great veterans, once stars, and who have won it all before.
       Definite upgrade for the Brooklyn nets. Boston gets rid two
       older pieces in pierce and garnet, while they acquire a nice
       young talent in Kris Humphries. Not only that, but they have
       begun their ebuild, and they still have Rondo.
       I really think that this is one of the rare win-win trades,
       similar to the Denver-New York Carmelo trade that happened a
       couple of years ago. I  will say Brooklyn makes it to at least
       the Eastern semi-finals, and their seed will lead their run
       (basically, third or higher, in my opinion, means potential
       Finals run, fourth or fifth means it will be real tough to
       advance out of the Eastern conference will the Bulls, Knicks,
       pacers, and Heat as the other opponents they could very well
       face, whereas a top three seed and they could avoid half of
       those potential opponents).
