Rebuild now, or rebuild later?

[JSD]

I agree.  Reload when there is an opportunity to make a smart deal.  Until that opportunity presents itself, try to win as many games as you can, while hopefully building value of your players.  

Nothing good comes from forcing things in this league.  You need to just be patient, and make smart moves, rather than sticking to a strict plan.  

I agree with this.

Explore options and set everything around 2012's offseason and Dwight Howard. The world's suppose to end shortly after that anyway.

I really think that they should sign nobody (but a discount Perk extension) past two years.  When KG is done.


That gives them at most, 2 years to try and win again with KG.  (more likely one since the 2nd year will likely be a lockout.  Though a lockout shorten season might give an old Celtics team an advantage)


Then, go into the the new agreement year with only Rondo, Perk and what ever rookie contracts are on the team, and start rebuilding.


Along the way, if the Celtics can make smart moves that help, do it.

Couldn't agree more.  That should be the C's number one priority right now.  They should try to make the team as good as possible over the next couple years, but they should do it without putting that cap space in jeopardy. 

The only exception should be if they stumble accross a deal to get a legit building block player to add to the core.

I don't think we should blow the team up, but we should definitely be more focused on the future. The focus should be on making this a place where free agents want to come play by 2012. I don't want to end up like the Knicks are now, they have all this money to spend on free agents, but no core of players to attract them.

My opinion will be greatly influenced by Pierce's decision whether or not to opt out.
