Why is Boston out? I don't know the financial implications, so if that's why then so be it. But Boston would be a perfect fit for LeBron

1) It will extend the careers of Pierce and Allen.
2) Garnett is a big man who can play away from the basket on offense and provides a huge dfeensive presence
3) Rondo, Big Baby and Perkins are all solid young players.
4) He stays in the East, which with him in Boston, virtually guarantees the Celtics to be in the East Finals or NBA Championship for the next 6-8 years minimum.
5) The NBA would love a Lakers/Celtics - LeBron/Kobe match-up year-in-year out. Larry vs. Magic Part 2.
6) Celtics Line-up: Rondo, Pierce, LeBron, Garnett, Perkins. Allen Sixth-man of the year.

What's not to like from LeBron's perspective. His salary will be lower, but his endorsements and the NBA's ratings will skyrocket. Where is a better place for him to position himself to win championshipS.
