And losing the Big 4 frees up a shitload of money for a team that isn't afraid to spend and is an attractive place to play. Unlike the NFL, a rebuild isn't nearly as painful, and there's nothing yet that leads us to believe that Green or Melo can't be good core players even if not superstars. In the meanwhile, you still have solid support guys in Barbosa, Bass, and Bradley, all who will probably be there in 5 years. Maybe the Celtics fall on their face. But again, think it's worth seeing how these guys develop, how Ainge does with better picks, and how he spends on money he finally has again to spend.

It depends on your definition of rebuild. If by rebuilding you mean just making the NBA playoffs yea it might be slightly easier because half the teams make the playoffs in each conference. If you mean winning championships IMO it is alot harder in the NBA simply because you need to get one if not 2 Top 10 players to make it happen.
As far as the Celtics go you don't know much about them do you..lol. Barbosa wants or wanted to be traded and Bass has been benched for Sullinger. If Bradley can stay healthy he will be a good player mostly because of his defense. Terry has been awful and Courtney Lee sucks as well. This team now is in big trouble..
