I think between Ray, Pierce, Nate, Delonte, and Wafer, we'll be okay.  Who knows, maybe even Harangody will find his shot.  KG and BBD can help stretch the floor a bit, although neither has 3 point range, of course.

I honestly like our roster as it is.  Sure, if something comes along, beautiful, but I think I'd stand pat.

yes, hes right now in the IL and his name is Delotne

and hes my boy

as Hobbsy pointed

Ray
Pierce
Nate
Wafer
Delonte

and KG range and BBD improved are more than enough shooting

yes, hes right now in the IL and his name is Delotne

and hes my boy

Wafer is better...

I can think of one trade I'd do.  Bradley for Casspi (Sac wouldn't do it).

Other than that, I'd just wait to get healthy.

Edit:  Oops.  Didn't see the other thread about Casspi.

Couldn't agree more. Celtics are at the bottom of the league when it comes to 3pt made. And that's because they have Nate/Pierce/Ray as their only outside shooters on the team. Those three guys have made 90%+ of the Celtics 3pt this season. Very disproportionate. Getting Delonte Back should help but the only problem is he doesn't take too many 3's. His game is the mid-range. Celtics need another 3 point shooter off the bench.


edit: Luke is now making 3's, lol

A big part of the reason we're so low in 3 pointers made is that our offensive game plan includes a LOT of mid-range jumpers.

There's a big difference between settling for and planning for.

If we are gameplanning for midrange jumpers, we need a new one. They are the hardest shots in the league.

Ideally, only the Big Three should be taking those shots, because they are literally 3 of the best in the League in their spots (Pierce elbow isos, Garnett kick-outs, Ray screens). But EVERYONE else, from Davis to Rondo to even JO... should be attacking the rim or finding our 3pt shooters (Ray, Pierce, Nate, West, Wafer).

Maybe that's why our offense has looked mediocre the last 4 seasons, too dependent on the midrange. Like Doc says, our post game opens up our outside game. No wonder our offense NEVER looked better than it did when Shaq was rolling back in November/December.

I'm not saying it's a good thing, but our team is pretty much built to rely on mid-range jumpers more than threes, though when we're playing well we diversify our offense rather well.  We're just not a three-point heavy team.
