Ok eveyone is rooting for small ball and other stuff like that... the issue is  that they are not teaching 7ft how to play the center position... and even these lineups need a pure center... howard jordan lopez bogut duncan are too usefull in this league.. and to be honest... there is no jabaar hakeem shaq robinson nowdays... tell me that guys like draymond crowder or even lebron could handle hakeem for example.... if a new center like them appears we shall see if this trend continues..
We  are in desperate need of height rim protection better rebounding... find a center.. maker skai stone jones have the height and physical tools... we need centers

I disagree. Cousins, Drummond, DA Jordan, would be great players to have on our team but that doesn't translate to wins like shooting does right now. if you can space the floor with 3pt shooters that would have a much larger impact for the Celtics than a top center.

If someone like those centers plat against gsw, they will just go big with bogut and ezeli. Gsw will still beat you with their shooting, have green play the 4 instead. With refs allowing for lesser contacts it limita the defensive ability of those guys due to potential foul trouble. With these rule changes, the meta has evolved. Sure there are no great post players,but that iant the only reason. 3 pt ahooting is at a premium that even if you score an easy 2 if playing with a slow plodding big allows your opponent to shoot open 3s you are screwed.
