And if you don't think so, then why no one wanna play for the Celtics ? We got defense. Maybe we should go get Carmelo that just might attract other players.
KG would of never came to Boston if Ray never came over. What's that tell u ? You need offense. And just so u know, I was just using Kobe as an example.
You do realize Ainge traded for both players. They didn't come over in free agency.
I agree that Celtics need more offense but players like signing to teams that have a good team concept and are winning. Most superstars stay with the team that drfats them because of the financial benefits.
Only superstar that left in recent memory was LeBron and Bosh to form the Heat superteam.
So there was no reason to argue my point. All I was saying to begin with. We need offensive players to combine with out defensive players. Is Paul George great at defense ? Its great to find a player with defensive skill but we need offense. All we got is defense except IT. So its not so bad that a player in the draft has offense and not so much defense cause that can be worked on. Most importantly we need big time scorers. And that was my point
I agree in all honesty. I think that our biggest need right now (by far) is scoring.
We do have weaknesses in our defence that we need to solidify (interior defence and rim protection, primarily) but it's not really a critical need - we are still a solid defensive team without that.
Offensively though we really struggle because we just don't have enough firepower, and because our entire outside scoring philosophy is to jack up as many threes as we possibly can to make up for the fact that we shoot a terrible percentage.
We have some solid three point shooters - it's better then nothing, but it's not enough. We need a starting calibre perimeter player who is a lights out shooter. Or at the very least, we need a 6th man calibre perimeter player who is a lights out shooter. A Korver, a Reddick, a Durant - somebody like that.
I think that's genuinely our biggest need right now, with interior defence coming in a close second.
