Its clear that depth is a need. Wallace is going to be great off the bench and we all know what eddie or big baby will do off the bench but a BIG big man and a legitimate back up point guard who can control the game would make us the team to beat. I would love to see them go after a Brevin Knight or Steve Blake to back up Rondo. Pruitt will hold is own but wont be great. Walker is explosive but a little shaky. What about big men like Mark Blount or SAn Dalembert, both have been proved to be great down low, not great speed but good big back ups for Kev and Perk. That way sheed can go in as the 4 not a 5. I love baby but hes to short to play the 5 and sheed is our best back up at the 4. Either way, our team is going to come back explosive and be ready to compete for a championship

With all due respect, I think the premise that the C's need either an extra swing man or point guard is false when Wallace, Garnet, Perkins and Scal are the only big men on the roster. Danny is going to need more height.

It's true that I'm a lakers fan and all, and thus biased against the celtics….but i thought you celtic fans would be better than wishing (as nottotallynormal just did) that Pau Gasol's knees would give out so you guys could win again, lol. That's low, even for a celtic fan.

The truth of the matter is that the celtics are OLD. They are the grandpa team of the NBA. Nevertheless, they have great young talent in Rondo and…well, it's just Rondo. However, I think the celtics in their current form are a 1 and done team. They got lucky that my lakers didn't have Bynum or Ariza when we played the 08 finals against each other. Not having TWO of our starters playing is hard to get over, and that's why you guys won.

But that was 2 years ago. Since then KG has had serious knee injury and Pierce looks like he is simply too old to play in the NBA. Next year if everyone is healthy and we get Odom back, it is going to be TOUGH for the celtics to even get to the finals, forget about winning the finals against the lakers.

KG is old/injured

Allen is still very good, but how long can that last at his age?

Pierce is too old and well over the hill. He should retire promptly unless he wants to be remembered like the current Shaq.

Sheed is also over the hill. What did he average 6 points in the playoffs last year AS A STARTER?

Your hope is for Rondo and Perkins to a lesser extent to offset the rapid deteriation of your Granpa 4.
