The 2009-10 World Champion Boston Celtics.

With NBA Finals MVP Tim Thomas in BBD's spot.  ;)

Not interested. The Celtics already have Sheed and Scalabrine, no need for another perimeter orientated big man, especially not someone who's a very poor defender and a very poor rebounder.

Slightly off-topic, but how do you feel about bringing BBD back?  Is the distinction that he's a better defender?

It is for me.  BBD has done a reasonable job defending the more muscular bigs and has a nice 15' shot.  Four more points for BBD as compared to the Tin Man are: (1) his hands in traffic (at least he is in traffic to begin with); (2) his hustle, which can ignite the rest of the team; (3) that he gets offensive rebounds because of his hands and hustle; (4) he still has potential, whereas Tim THomas squandered his a long time ago. 

My concern for BBD is that there are not enough minutes remaining to keep him happy.

He pretty much a poor mans Scalbrine and that no complement. There's a good reason he's been on 15 different teams.
