big baby needs to come back to boston. It would be wrong for danny ainge to not bring him back especially after what he did for us last year when kg went out and the clutch shot in orlando. He step up huge averaging almost 20pts. But ainge is an unloyal gm and untrust worthy if he was gonna ship out rondo and allen 2 key components to our team and championship. big baby is a silent center piece 2 our bench and team. ball now get paid later.

I still think the C’s should sign and trade baby for a taller stronger player, preferably a center.

If Perk or Rasheed get hurt which is possible due to their past injury history and age the Celtics will be in big trouble.

Especially when we play against Cleveland, Orlando and LA.

I think a legit 3rd string back up center is vital o insure title # 18 is obtained.

Any one else agree?

I still do not understand the Williams signing. The only possible solution of “Celtic betterment” that I can see is if we can now trade TA and Williams for Daniels. Then we would have the cap room to sign Davis.

What are the rules for when and if the Celtics can sign Powe? Are we out of the loop or is there still a chance to sign him? What about Big Baby for $3 million a year for 5 years and Powe for $2 million a year for 5 years?? Would love to hear your thoughts on such scenarios Brendan.

Davis seems like a no brainer, but truth is theres not much better for the Cs given their money situation. The comparison to Tractor Trailer scares anyone whos thinking about inking Davis for more than a year. At least Shawn Kemp had some all star days.

It’s not that I don’t think at any point in time Perk and ‘Sheed won’t be on the floor at the same time, it’s more to the point that defensively, they play the same position. Both Perk and ‘Sheed defend centers very well, Perk with his bulk and brawn and ‘Sheed with his length. Offensively, while ‘Sheed shoots very well and can dribble the ball, neither he, nor Perk can put it on the floor like KG or Davis can. I think in order to be the most offensively effective, you need to have at least one big man that can put it on the floor while driving to the basket, whether it be from the baseline, the wing, the top of the key, etc. All that being said, if the personnel out there needs shooting and tough rebounding specifically, I see ‘Sheed and Perk out there. I’m thinking that line up could be something like Perk, ‘Sheed, Daniels, Pierce, Rondo. ‘Sheed provides an extra shooter in there to compliment Pierce.

I’m curious to hear why you think that Perk and ‘Sheed won’t be on the floor at the same time. I was pondering if they would go with a scheme where you (roughly) split the minutes at the 4 and the 5 three ways between Sheed, Perk and KG. At 32 minutes per game (again roughly), that would go a long way to keeping people fresh for the playoffs.
