C's Would Benefit Even More With Another Depth Big/Bench Scorer
Phantom255x:
Obviously through 13 games, LOTS TO LOVE, and after a game like tonight, how can't you be excited about our future, and even potential for this season especially if Cleveland looks a bit "weaker" even after Isaiah returns. 8)
I'm telling you, if this team can use the DPE (OR Cut Nader and have DPE, AND Vet Minimum for 2 OPEN roster spots) on another depth big and/or another scoring option off the bench, it would really benefit this team immensely.
As we're seeing, when one of Horford/Baynes goes down to injury for some time, the team's depth is thin and it really shows at times, and there are also occasions where when the bench comes in, the scoring just completely dries up and no offense is generated (though fortunately tonight, that wasn't the case).
Ainge obviously won't be in a rush and I'm not saying the C's have to make a move ASAP, but I really LOVE the idea of possibly adding a guy like Greg Monroe, or someone with tremendous low risk, high reward potential in 21 y/o Jahlil Okafor, and both these guys are also depth bigs who can also score.
Surely, more names may pop up as the season progresses (through trade rumors and buy-outs), but outside of hoping we can stay healthy, making a trade OR signing (using DPE and/or vet. min) for another good depth big and/or scoring option off the bench could make a BIG difference in the playoffs IMHO (esp. in a series against Cleveland, as the armor on Cleveland is starting to crack a little it seems, meaning there's a slightly better chance we can beat them this time).
And yes, maybe these guys are purely rentals, but for vet. min or if it costs like a mere 2nd round pick in a trade.. if this team keeps playing like they have been and showing they have a legit chance to go far.. I don't think Ainge would hesitate.
Boston Garden Leprechaun:
you are correct. whoever we grab needs to be able to score..CBS can teach them defense. we need a scorer.

Vucevic

I get your point, but how many teams would love to be able to play Brown, or Rozier, or Smart, or Tatum, or Yabusele, or Ojeyle?
A veteran could be a slight upgrade, but I definitely don't think its a need, and a couple regular season wins this year probably aren't worth the long-term growth from these young guys as they get their reps in a winning system.

Magic are doing really well and Vucevic is having a great season (will cost a lot more in trade).
