I can't speak for the Warriors but for me and my career, being traded to the Celtics changed the trajectory of my career.

Everybody knows how much I disliked the Knicks when I was with the Celtics, but I think it's grown to another level.

It would have been a short career if I had not been traded to Boston. I was rejuvenated in Boston.

After the first time I got traded - I was in the bullpen warming up for a game in Double A, and I got called back in and got traded - that was probably the, like, most crazy it could be. And once I got traded, the next time it got a little easier, and I got traded the next time - it's just part of it.

Karen Russell learned to think from her father, someone Peter Gammons knows well, Boston Celtics legend Bill Russell, who used his prominence to support Martin Luther King Jr., to support the civil rights movement, and other important work, including work in Africa throughout his career. And Bill Russell is still at it.

The Boston Celtics are not a basketball team, they are a way of life.

Red Auerbach

My most memorable moment came in 1985 as we beat the Boston Celtics.

Boston is one of the country's more insecure cities and see you it in Celtics fans.

Most of the time, before you get traded, there are rumblings. I wasn't totally surprised that I was going to get traded - I anticipated it happening. And I wasn't surprised that I got traded to the Knicks, either.

Not that I shouldn't have been traded - everyone gets traded at some point. But the way that it went down wasn't justifiable.

Chauncey Billups

I'm obviously very grateful to play for a sports organization like the Boston Celtics.

Rajon Rondo

That's one of the reasons I decided to come to Boston - to contend and win a championship, especially with the history of the Celtics and what they stand for.

Al Horford

Just soaking up the history of the Boston Celtics has been the best thing that's happened to me as a player.

Paul Pierce

Come on, when does it come to the point where your name can't come up in trade talks? Willie Mays got traded. Pedro Martinez got traded. So what? That's part of the game.

Eric Davis

I have always wanted to be part of something special, and when I got to Boston.. actually, when I bought, begged and pleaded my way onto the Celtics.. it was already a championship team. I was just glad to be able to sit there and cheer and to be Larry Bird's valet, to be sure that his shoes were fine and his uniform was folded neatly.
