GO big or GO home

I realy hate how soft we are in the paint so I got an idea to fix that and maybe have one of the best front courts in basketball next season if dwight is a free agent

Boston gets : Kaman, Foye, Cook
NO gets : Oneal, Bledsoe
LAC gets : Ray

tell ray hes always welcome to come back next season.
Resign kaman and kg then sign dwight and ray.

our front court Dwight, kg, and kaman would be scary for miami and we would match up perfect against LAL

We have 10 million this year tied up in Wilcox/JO.

Both of whom are done for the season more or less.

Danny Ainge has been downright putrid at putting together a solid team around the Big 3.

In 2008 we won off our talent, we were the most talented team in the league by far.

Every year since then, every team has gotten ALOT beter, while we have just gotten worse, (except for the first half of last season with Shaq).

Ainge just fails at signing impact players to go around the Big 3, just look at his track list.

He re-signs Marquis Daniels who was obviously done as a player after his back injury, he also wasnt on a team at the time of the signing.

He signs a well known inconsistent undersized big in Wilcox.

Sasha Pavlovic who wasnt even in the league at the time.

Keyon Dooling. Epic Fail.

Signs a 40 year old Shaq then trades his 26 year old Center.

Gives an old out of shape Rasheed Wallace a 3 year, 17 million deal.

Over the past couple of seasons the Celtics have had a wealth of D-Leaguers on the team.

Its like Ainge has a list of the most out of shape, often injured, no longer in the league players that he choses to sign to deals.

I have a feeling that all we are going to get is a small move before the window closes, wouldn't be shocked to see Semih come back from Cleveland.

if we cant rebound and protect the paint there is no banner 18, either trade to get those assets or fail with this current group and wait till next season. this would give us the best chance in the playoffs I think with bass kg and kaman thats solid espicially (knock on wood) if wilcox comes back.

We realy dont lose much scoring because kaman and foye are scorers they are going to get buckets. its a win win

Im still driving the "get Kosta Koufos from Denver" bandwagon. He's not the household big name that everyone would like to have but I believe that he'll do great things for us now, and in the future. He's one guy I REALLY want playing for us.

He's having a good season right now. Playing either backup or starting. He's a back to basket guy, solid defense (not good, not too bad either).


His salary is not hard to match (at 2.20 million). And he's owed 9 million in the next three years, he's 23 by the way. He can be a good big option for us.


But I believe we have to be okay to give up a first rounder for him. I doubt Denver is just gonna let him go for scrubs and 2nd rounders. But I believe the very late pick is worth trading for him. He can be a solid piece, backing up or starting.

I agree with "go big or go home."  Just not sure what to do about it.
