I am newbie here so let’s hope this goes well haha. This is my idea of what the full 15 man roster should look like.
Starters:
Rajon Rondo/Nate Robinson/Avery Bradley
Ray Allen/Tony Allen
Paul Pierce/Mike Miller
Kevin Garnett/Glenn Davis
Kendrick Perkins/Jermaine O’Neil/ Kwame Brown
Reserves:
Dominic McGuire, Luke Harangody, Semih Erden
First off we need Miller. We lacked scoring off of the bench and it came back to kill us. Signing Miller will give the C’s a scoring “pop” off of the bench other then Nate. He can score at small forward or shooting guard unlike Antony Morrow and allow TA to play at his natural position. If you can’t grab him then go after Josh Howard. It’s a big gamble but could pay off if Josh leaves the weed alone. I would then re-sign Nate and bring “Donkey” back to Boston. He played well and seemed to be fitting in more and more as the playoffs continued. The way I see it his production can only get better with Boston’s system now under his belt. Plus Avery Bradley is not a point guard and he’s an unproven rookie. Not a good sign if you’re a contending team. Kwame Brown is a cheap body that can rebound and defend. His offensive is horrible but I’ll take that as long as he crashes the glass.
With this roster you have a bench that can play on its own. If Nate is being abused by an opponent’s guards offensive you can throw Bradley a bone and put him in that game. Having TA and Bradley could lock guards down around the league. If the bench can give the starters rest then this team is a big threat. I would love to pick up unrestricted free agent Dominic McGuire. He’s played in the NBA and has the ability to defend, something coveted by the Celtics. Or Rasual Butler f he’s willing to not play and dress n street clothes. If Bradley is not who we think he is his first year you can easily thrown McGuire in the rotation. This guy may not have the sexiest name among other free agents out there, but can make a impact using only garbage minutes. Harangody and Semih Erden would fill out the rest of the reserves. The only thing left to ponder would be Sheed and his retirement. With the signing of JO there’s no need for a big and Allen takes up the guard position. If there is a better forward then Miller or you’re willing to trade BBD, then go of it. I would trade Wallace to a team for a first round draft pick. This could help us in the future with our roster looking older by the minute. Or just keep the cash for yourself. Now I feel this is a championship caliber team.
What do you guys think though?
