Big man rotation is better balanced now

PF - Sully, Olynyk, Bass
 C - Wright, Zeller
Looks more like a logjam of mediocre players...just like the backcourt.

Wright at Center?

I'd like to see him bang against Al Jefferson and Al Horford and see how he holds up.

Wright or Zeller as starting center? They are both flawed. You are going to give up something no matter which one you pick to start.

How about I'd rather have Zeller starting with Rondo isntead of Wright starting?

I get your point though.

Sully is better than mediocre. Not sure about the rest.

Sully is more good than great though.

Sometimes and not on D.  I was glad to see him break out the slump but he is not the kind of guy you build around, neither is Zeller, KO or Wright.

We have a defensive big now to pair with our offensive big men with offensive D.  So Wright will play with Sully or KO, I would imagine the other will play with Zeller.   I doubt we go Wright and Zeller but I could be wrong would not be the first time.   On the other hand, with him being the central piece to the trade he might play right away.    I am hoping we ship out Sully anyways.   I think he is fool's gold, not a great defender, lazy and does not play to his strengths by hoisting threes.  His and Monroe 's salaries match and we could toss in first now.

Yeah KO sux right.

KO has been outplaying Sullinger the last 4-5 games

Bass has to go though.  Danny should be able to get a 2nd for Bass soon

DEFENSE:

- Rim Protector in Brandan Wright
- Smart and AB backcourt tandem
- Devensive specialist Jae Crowder (can guard 1 through 4)

Must stay positive :)

- NO
- Smart is like Rondo, he still cant shoot. And we lost Rondo's playmaking.
- Will he even get minutes?

- Hell Yes, he's averaging 3 blocks per 36 min
- Did I say I was talking about defense? and at least he can shoot free throws :)
- Defensive specialists do not need playing time, he will come in handy on certain situations (i.e. when we need defensive stops)

- Except he's not playing 36 minutes. Its adjusted. You put him there for 36, it doesnt really mean that that is what he's going to produce. Kosta Koufos is averaging 2.6 blocks per 36, is he a rim protector to?
- Fair point. But its not worth getting a bad return.
- But we have a $10 million guy like that in Gerald Wallace. Why get one more?

- He doesn't need to play 36 minutes a night. Boston is currently one of the worst teams in opponent's FG% at the restricted area, Wright could certainly help on that, if you don't believe me just watch the video below:

- Too early to tell.

- Jae Crowder's contract - $2.30 million for the next three years. 'nuff said :)
