Do any of you envision more trades later on this season? Like maybe shipping Scal away with a couple other guys for another SOLID player?

Seeing some more actual players and not street bums in jerseys come off the bench would be nice. Posey and House are the only two legitimate bench players we have.

Sooner or later they're going to have to find someone else 6'10" or taller that can play smart and eat minutes. They also need someone like Chris Duhon for the 1 and they're a legitimate threat to run away with the NBA.

Hopefully PJ Brown likes what he sees from the celtics and signs here soon, strengthen the front line

I don't think Tony Allen's that bad either (adding to P-Dub's post), but we do need a capapble backup center or power forward and veteran backup point guard.

Eddie House has been just fine backing up the one. You can argue that he's played as well as Rondo so far.

House is a lights-out shooter, but i'd much rather have a true one backing Rondo up and House can play off-guard or 2 or something. He's just having some trouble with that press.

House proved tonight that we don't need a true one, we just need a guy that can hit shots and play a little D.

I'm fine with House backing up the one.... the offense still runs when he is on the court at point, and he gets open shots, which he sinks.
A vet big would be great otherwise this team is set IMO

mqtcelticsfan

Agreed. Our offense is much better when we run it through KG, thus eliminating the need for a true PG. We certainly need another big man to rotate in.

The starting line-up is fine, but the Bench doesn't have enough depth in it, so I'm hoping Ainge either makes a deal before the trade deadline for a sixth man type player or gets someone from the Free Agent Market, but something has to happen if they want to be a complete team and contend for an NBA championship.

Avalanche

Of course this is all assuming the way Big Baby played last night isnt a regular occurance

Premier

House can't bring the ball up the court, though. Other than that, he is playing fine.

I was thinking how awesome this team would be if we still had Jefferson. Obviously, that's an impossibility, but man would we be good. I think Jefferson would start at center, since he's better at defending the center position than power forward. The great thing about the team now is that the stars have different styles of play, so they don't step on each other's toes. Jefferson also has a different style of play. He likes to play with his back to the basket while Garnett seems to like to face up a lot. They would gobble up rebounds like crazy. Then with Perkins coming off the bench, we'd be set. We could have two bigs on the floor at all times.
