Three players I'd want to join the Celts because they STIlL have huge upside.

1. Damarcus Cousins. What ! Yes. Cousins is a headcase. But he would be our headcase. Rehabilitated by the organisation. Shipped out of Sac on the cheap because they cannot handle him. Let Shaq and KG corral him.

2. Zach Randolph. A beast on the boards and one of the best post up players in the NBA.

3. Evan Turner. A young project whose confidence has taken a hit and who could be taken in a trade. He is a player with smarts, and once he is in the right system, he could be a mini Pierce.

Dont know how we'd manage to do it but if we could get these three, id be very happy.

Reasoning ? With KG still around you have to maximise his ability to get into the heads of the people around him. With Ray still there to mentor someone like Turner.

Can you imagine a starting 5 of Rondo, Turner, Green, Cousins and Randolph ?

Pipedream I know...but hey.

Why would you want a malcontent like Z-Bo on this team? We need someone that will emulate KG, not a guy who doesn't give it his all every game. However Turner and Cousins are unproven and we don't have the pieces to get those two. Although for the future those guys have tremendous upside so its not a bad idea.

Z-Bo is haunted by his rep even when he is producing. He is having a great season so far. Look it up. I think that KG and the rest of the Celts will inspire him.

I would give up BB, Wafer, and cash for Z-BO if that would work. We need rebounding badly and Z-Bo is one of those players who keeps on being traded beloew his value.

I'd give up Krstic, Bradley, and the first round pick from the Clips for Cousins if that were possible.
