Maxiell or Wilcox?

[snively]

Jason Maxiell is a player I like but not for the Celtics and not at his current salary.

While Chris Wilcox is not a player that interests me at all. Last season, he played only 34 games and 13 mpg for a Pistons team with a smallish, injury plagued front court. He does dunk in traffic - who doesn't like to see that. But he turns the ball over at a high rate (more often than Perk) and fouls at an even worse rate.

Wilcox has a career turnover % of 13%.  Perk's is 23%.  Their career per-36 minute foul rates: Wilcox 4.2; Perk 4.5.

I'd like to add both.  Both are quick and aggressive running the floor.  Both finish at the rim at 60%+ (compared to Baby's abysmal 51%).  Both rebound better than Baby.

To Boston: Ryan Gomes and Chris Wilcox

To Detroit: Rasheed Wallace's buyout and a 2nd round pick from Portland

To Portland: Austin Daye

Boston gets a backup SF and a backup big man for Wallace's contract.  

Detroit gets cap relief.

Portland gets a former first round pick and a guy who could be useful.  

You could also do the deal without Portland as well.  

personally I'd like to get Daye as opposed to Wilcox or Gomes.  he's a player with some upside even though he doesn't really play PF or C (although he does have the height for it)

Get Wilcox to back up at center and Daye as a legitimate SF backup, re-sign Ray Allen ...

then you have some flexibility with the MLE.

I nearly pee'd my pants when i saw someone call Wilcox a good defender.

The guy is a leaper, but has little upper body strength.  He and Ridnour/Watson made a pretty good pick n roll tandem offensively in Seattle, but unfortunately for him, he cannot play a lick of D.

Hence why he rode the pine in Detroit.

Can we put Maxiell's toughness into Wilcox's body?  Then we'd have a borderline allstar.

Both of their problems start upstairs i'm afraid.

Wilcox maybe, Maxiell not really.
