Other Options Antonio McDyess, Zaza Pachulia, Brandon Bass, Ramon Sessions, Carlos Delfino, Jamario Moon, Anthony Parker, Drew Gooden, Allen Iverson, Rasho Nesterovic, Channing Frye ... maybe Grant Hill? Would the MLE have gotten him out of Phoenix? Hard to tell.
Options vs WallaceDo any of those options scream out as superior players to Wallace? As players who could offer more in their possible Celtics' role than Wallace can as the lead backup big man?
(1) I think Sessions is a better player (best player in the mix) but I don't see him making a larger impact due to a minutes squeeze behind Rondo. Plus I don't like having another point player/perimeter player who can't shoot the ball.
(2) Antonio McDyess is a fair question but he's struggling just as much, more so even, than Rasheed is so that's a tough question to answer.
(3) Brandon Bass is a maybe. It makes us quite small up front but maybe.
(4) Grant Hill is a legitimate possibility but I don't know how possible that would have been. Signing him away from Phoenix I mean.
