Or until we are done tanking. I think that's a decent plan to fill out the roster one through four and when all these young guys are developed then go get your Larry sanders or whomever is available then. If we got sanders or asik now we would win 40 games. Let's get stacked at every position but center. Then trade for noel or embiid.

Imo Colton Iverson will make the team this season. When situation calls for someone to slow down a legit center and clog up the middle (tough fouls), Iverson will be on the court.

He is not a great shot blocker but is willing to make the effort to deter shots. Plus has legit center size, mobile (better than last year), and has a nice 9'2 reach.

Next years draft is supposed to be center heavy. If we don't find a good one now, Danny may draft one next year.

Yeah, but we're not going to get any of those elite prospects - we're the Celtics ::)  With that in mind, we should make a move for Biyombo and sign Oden, Okafor, and maybe even Juvonte Reddic or Alex Oriakhi.  Believe me, I'd love to get a great big man in the draft next year, but I'm also trying to be realistic.

I'm done with tanking. let's roll with Colton first and see what we have. Who knows he might pleasantly surprise us.

Myles turner is also in the draft. I can see him playing pf if he continues to progress, he would be a huge problem for other teams.
