Acquiring West is a bit of a waste of his talent, as he's an older player who should be helping a contender.
I don't have any interest in paying close to that price for Hibbert, who has shown that he is a complete head case.
Couldn't disagree more. I think having West's veteran presence provides leadership to a very young Celtics team.
Also, maybe I am the only one, but I really dislike the sound of the Celts being labeled as a "non-contender."
This "rebuild" stuff isn't for me.
I don't like the sound of the Celtics being a non-contender, but that's exactly what they are.
I just think it's a waste of assets to acquire a guy at the end of his prime who would have no interest in re-signing with the team.
completely agree. West belongs on a team that is a contender. this deal would get the C's into the playoffs probably but not at a contending level.
when Hibbert was coming into the league I thought he'd become a top center but he's been a real disappointment. he's ok but not great. too inconsistant and hasn't really developed an offensive game. seems to be mentally weak too -- no drive to dominate his position where I really think he could if he put his mind to it.
even with that said, I think the initial proposal is an overpayment for these 2 especially without having Hibbert (the 'prize' of the trade) locked up for a couple more years at reasonable salary
