The problem is the Celtics really need a player like David Lee, David West, Paul Millsap, Josh Smith, Joakim Noah, Al Horford, Anderson Varejao, LaMarcus Aldridge, Al Jefferson, Tyson Chandler, or Carl Landry.
I.e., an All-Star or borderline All-Star.
I'm not sure I see how the Celtics are going to get a player like that.
Exactly (although I would take Landry off that list). The C's problem isn't at the bottom of their rotation, its at the top. And if you are going to solve it, its not going to be with another garbage player.
Fair enough, but the vast majority of those listed above are far from realistic, while guys like Jefferson and Lee are questionable from a a fit and +/- POV.
I'm all for Millsap, but he'll be in high demand and we don't have a 1 to send to Utah. Maybe we could create a 30-team with an available PG like Sessions or Ridnour going to Utah -- but most of those teams would prefer Millsap to our pieces.
Maybe something like this:
