don't sign a FA SF...

[winsomme]

now that Hill is signed I am very underwhelmed by the remaining SFs that are available -  especially the one's in our price range.

So, I say if we can't swing a trade to get a quality guy, don't fill the spot.

I'd much rather bring back all the youngs and let them battle and see if someone can step up their game.

By signing Sheed, that gives us the luxury of doing that (as opposed to last season) because he instantly makes our bench much more than solid.

So assuming we can still re-sign Baby, that leaves us with:

Rondo
Ray
Paul
KG
Perk

House
TA
Walker
Baby
Sheed

Hudson
Pruitt
JR
Scals

and one final spot for Leon.....

hudson isnt signed yet, i think.  now with his injury and possible surgery, he may not get signed (unless im unaware of something recently happening).  so there would be another spot.

No I don't think he is either, but we could bring him to camp along with guys like Lofton and Karl and let them battle for a spot..

If we keep Baby, there's little to no room for Leon. We're better off with adding another center. Hudson can go, and we add another PG.

Then the decision would be what to do with Pruitt... leave him taking a roster spot, or leave the spot open to fill at the trade deadline once you see how this roster is playing out.

Until TA is moved, I don't think we can afford the roster spot for Leon. PF is simply not a position we need to add more people to, assuming we get Baby. And if we don't, well we'll see what is out there.

Rather have Bogans at the min then go into the season with the same SG/SF rotation.

no way i want tony and walker on the court together..i can see the 15 point leads slipping away already with those two playing together...

hudson
eddie
wing they sign
baby
sheed

scal as the utlilty guy...gabe, giddens, tony and walker can play the ball boys before the game

[Who]

I'm not a fan of not filling that spot. It needs to be filled.

If there isn't a good enough backup wing available, then Danny needs to force through a trade. Offer up the expiring contracts and a future first round pick, and get something useful back.

The team needs a backup wing.

[celticinorlando]

what about Sasha Pavlovic? 6'7 can shoot the three...about to be bought out by the suns

[the_Bird]

Bite the bullet and make a trade for Nochioni.  He's a better player than any of the wings still available on the market.  Still reasonably young.  Great backup for Pierce.

[BudweiserCeltic]

Giddens will win the backup job, you guys will see... and he'll be good at it.

[celticinorlando]

Giddens will win the backup job, you guys will see... and he'll be good at it.

ugh...too small...and unproven. if giddens makes the team walker gets cut.they wont keep them both and i don't think doc trusts giddens to tbe the main backup playing 15-20 minutes a night

How about a S&T for Varejao? C'mon we could have a hair competition between him sheed & scal

[wdleehi]

Giddens will win the backup job, you guys will see... and he'll be good at it.

That would be great.


Especially if the Celtics bring in someone that he would have to win it from.

[Roy Hobbs]

After watching what happened last season without a backup small forward, I've got no desire to repeat the experience.

[celticinorlando]

Giddens will win the backup job, you guys will see... and he'll be good at it.

That would be great.


Especially if the Celtics bring in someone that he would have to win it from.

exactly...i dont think giddens has even earned a spot on the team yet
