At the immediate conclusion of Sunday's game with the Portland Trailblazers (at approximately 8:30, PM, EST), the CSL crew will put on their headsets and hopefully celebrate the conclusion of this three game losing streak that has coincided with Kevin Garnett's return from injury.
Our guest this week will be Elrod Enchilada.
We all know Elrod as the seasoned Celtics writer for "Real GM ," but as his alter ego :wink:, Dr. Robert McChesney, he is a professor and well known author and lecturer in the field of communications, focusing on keeping the internet free and open. You can visit his foundation's website; www.freepress.net/, if you wish to help with the effort to: ""
Of course our attention with Elrod will be on the Celtics and we will certainly be looking at his recent, scholarly and imaginative features, on "Real GM. "
In part 1; "Frontloading: An Alternative Approach To NBA Contracts ," {www.realgm.com/src_feature_article/160/20080129/frontloading_an_alternative_approach_to_nba_contracts/}Elrod outlines the concept and details the potential benefits for many teams of frontloading contracts.
In part 2; "Frontloading The Cs Past The Garnett Era ," {celtics.realgm.com/articles/353/20080131/frontloading_the_cs_past_the_garnett_era/}he presents the Celtics with a plan.
Another of Elrod's recent Celtics topics has been Dave Cowens and the great teams of the seventies.I highly recommend the this recent thread {www.realgm.com/boards/viewtopic.php?t=756221&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=36} from the Real GM message board.
“ I wish those under the age of 40 or even 45 could have seen him play. I lived in Boston in 72-73 and saw many games in the Garden. It was impossible to watch a game and not have him draw your attention. He was a force of nature. There has never been a more intense player in the NBA or any other league that I know of. That was his truly great and singular talent. His intensity and hustle make Kevin Garnett look like Joe Barry Carroll after a quart of rum and a bottle of sleeping pills.”

“ With frontloading, the era of NBA teams having many mediocre or worse players with massive long-term contracts grown mountainous due to huge annual raises making them all but untradeable except as salary dumps: Ratliff, LaFrentz, Szczerbiak, Miles, Walker, seemingly half the Knicks, the list goes on and on – will slowly fade into the past.”

“Ainge should attempt to frontload all long-term contracts between now and 2012. The idea should be to pay more now – even if it means luxury tax penalties – so as to be able to have a young core in place by 2012 and significant cap space for acquiring expensive all-star caliber veteran talent.”
