The Celtics Center Thead

Kanter has earned the right to start on this team. He is a far superior player to Theis. Once RWIII is healthy he should supplant Theis on the depth chart as well. My wish is for Kanter to start, RWIII to back him up, and for Theis, Ojeleye and Wannamaker to be traded.

Even if Kanter has earned the starting role, he's more valuable off the bench I think. We need offense and the stability Kanter provides with rebounding when the 2nd unit is out there.

I would be fine with Kanter staying with the second unit and starting RWIII. I guess my biggest issue is Theis. He has absolutely no business starting on an NBA team. I think Theis is better than a third stringer but i'm way higher on RWIII. I think it makes the most sense to package some of these veterans and make room for the younger guys with higher upside.

Theis is easily our best defensive big man (and proving to be one of the more versatile ones in the league) and is solid at everything else. Kanter is (and has been for years) an elite bench-big who can start, but has glaring weaknesses.

How can he watch our games and not like Theis? He does so many things well. Is he perfect? No way. But he's far better than RWIII right now. Theis should easily start, and Kanter should stay second-unit, where he seems to thrive.

Considering this is the same guy who argued for Lue over Stevens (I’m serious, you can look) I think I’m going to not take it seriously.

Theis is the best fit in our starting unit. Kanter is great coming off the bench.

That said, I’m fairly convinced that Theis is a product of CBS’ wizardry much like Evan Turner. If he leaves the team, idk what will happen to him. Hell probably still be a decent player although his best years will  be behind him with a coach less focused on maximizing him.

Per Woj, Warriors just waived Marqueese Chriss.

Sign him?

I GSW can't find a use for him, how would he help us?

You could make that argument for every guy who is cut or bought out. They preferred the roster spot for another player. Every team has different needs.

Chriss would be cheap, he’s very athletic, I could see him having some utility off the bench.

I think he has too low of a BBIQ to play for Brad, us.
And he doesn't have the tools nor the controlled contract like RW for us to be optimistic and patient with him.

Are y’all forgetting that we need a STARTING big? We have plenty of bench capable bigs, we need a starter.
