But the thing we are missing here is the fact that Danny is not going to make a trade unless it makes the team better NOW. Sure Doc could make Miller a better defender, but not in 30 games, and definitely not in time for the playoffs. Like i said, if Ray's minutes come down, i think we are going to see the old Ray Allen. He is known for his conditioning, and is probably in the best shape of anybody on the team right now. I really like our chances with this team. Ray also runs the second unit, better than any other starter on the team. better than RONDO and better than PIERCE. he runs the screen and roll well, as well as the baseline double screen play either curling off for a shot, or dishing down low to baby or sheed. He's too valuable. And as a matter of fact.. did anyone see his D on Kobe? he played some of the best defense on Kobe he has played all year. I think that augustine would be a good addition because although daniels is a good ball handler, he is most likely better at running as a 2 or 3 and letting somebody else bring the ball up. augustine would be a great fit, and i almost like that he said that about our C's.. shows he's not a sissy. We need to make a trade before next Thursday, and i think this is the best one i have heard of so far. yeah cptn, i must say that you defended your trade well.

I've always said I would prefer for Ray to turn things around & stay a C. Ray is smart & he does a great deal, but since his #s are falling many are asking if someone else could do his job better? The #1 thing Ray has going against him is age. It is inevitable. I think Ray was a mediocre defender before Doc got a hold of him. Now, he is better, but I think he has lost a step. If Mike does absolutely nothing else then his stats should say zero on assists & steals etc. He should have 0 steals & 0 blocks tonight, but he had 2 steals & 2 blocks. Actually, he avgs the same # of steals per game as Ray & more assists. He is 6'8 so that gives him an edge. I think the vast majority of guys that Doc coaches get better on D so I don't look at Mike as only a rebounder & shooter. I hope it is 5 or more years away, but Ray's #s are trending down. It is only natural as he gets older. Mike's #s are trending upwards, & Doc would make him a better defender. Ray has never been known for his killer defense. He is getting older & slower. I don't think Danny will trade Ray, but if he did he would need someone who could do what Ray did....hit 3s & spread the floor so Rondo could have an open lane to drive, Perk could go 1 on 1, etc. That is crucial.

He plays Scal and Sheed and they both play on the outside instead of in the middle. Sheed doesn't even try on defense, doesn't rotate, comes up with one decent play out of 10 he should have made. @Rob

Augustin's a great 3 point shooter which could strengthen our second unit and if he is truly a legitimate driver it just makes the deal even sweeter. He could also be drive and kick sort of player with the shooting ability of house. Sure davis gets a lot of boards and especially offensive boards, but what he does after is what concerns me. He usually fakes a couple times and because of his height it doesn't fool anyone. Then goes up and gets blocked. Shelden proved himself as a rebounder in the beginning season when davis was out, at this point I say do the deal and give big baby's minutes to shelden. He'll get to the line and grab boards which we desperately need. if we could get augustin and thomas for davis and another player that isn’t very important to the team, like scal i would do that trade in a heart beat.
