  • We may as well put Tyrion in at center.
In the Crawford trade? Over Wilcox?

We could've used his girth and 7 footerness. Plus, I think that his defense was rather underrated before; enough that Doc trusted him to play a good amount of minutes.
I like Marcus Smart

Wilcox exercised his right to stop the trade. That's why Collins got sent instead of Wilcox.

So the choice was Wilcox and Collins or Wilcox and Crawford.

I prefer Wilcox to Collins overall, but they bring very different skillsets so the comparison is hard.

So we are reduced to lamenting for Collins.   I don't think peeps realized his ability to eat up space but we got the best player in that trade.   Danny just didn't kill it when it came to signing bigs.   I would rather have Martin than White and Randolph but that is just me.

I rather have kept collins than trade for scary crawford. Our interior presence is worse than ever

You are better than this, Syfy.  Jason Collins should be playing in a YMCA Rec league at this point.  I leave it at that.

Aside from Randolph, we don't even have a true center right now. I don't see how trading Collins is even an option, but maybe theres something you all know that I don't know.

Can't we just bring Gerald Green back?

no KG , Sully or Rondo....Barbosa gone....too many payers gone to many issues.......

don't think it matters so much at this point.......if it is Collins or anybody else .......


the season seems pretty much shot,   the players look done ,   

it seems the Celtics have thrown in the towel.

hunker down,  and see what the future brings.

While we do need Collins' presence right now, now that KG is out a couple of weeks, I still like what we got from him in Jordan Crawford.

I would not insist. I would do that trade again and again.
