1) resign Posey

2) find a backup C

3) find a backup PG



I don't think House comes back now.


I am starting to think TA will be playing somewhere else.

IMO, we resign Posey.  He is too important to the team and I don't believe that Wyc loses him. 

With regards to Eddie House, he's a good rotation guys.  I could see us signing Kevin Garnett's friend, Tyrone Lue. 

C - Kendrick Perkins (1), Glen Davis (2)
PF - Kevin Garnett (3), Leon Powe (4)
SF - Paul Pierce(5), James Posey (6), Bill Walker (7)
SG - Ray Allen (_8_), JR Giddens (9)
PG - Rajon Rondo (10), Eddie House or Tyrone Lue (11), Gabe Pruitt (12)

Inactive: Brian Scalabrine (13)

That leaves two spots.  One probably goes to a developmental prospect.   One to a veteran.  Obviously center makes some sense. 

Alonzo Mourning? Lorenzen Wright? Brian Skinner?  Theo Ratliff? Adonal Foyle? Patrick O'Bryant? Melvin Ely?

I really wish we knew for certain what we have on Pruitt. It'll make all our speculations on what we need easier   ;).

I think most of us pretty much agree that the priority right now is to keep James Posey.  Can we all agree that the second most important task is to find a veteran backup Center?  Pruitt and House (if House is invited back) should be fine as the backup PG, I would think.

One question, because I have not watched this player closely.  Krstic, how much do you think he can get on the free agent market?  The hoopshype profile on him is that he has offensive talent, but lack defense.  However, hypothetically, do you think that a superb team defense like we have can compensate for someone like Krstic?  His ability to score inside could certainly bring a new dimension to this team.  But again, how much is he worth in the market?  Do you think, if he's somehow obtainable, he would be a good fit for this team?
