This was a post awhile back that I liked but can't find it. If you have a link to it, please put it as a reply. Thanks

But ya, make a list of NBA players (current or recently played) that you would never want in a Celtics uniform. Explanations would be good too. 
The Nets will finish with the worst record and the Celtics will end up with the 4th pick.

Rodney Stuckey.

A SG who can't shoot and thinks he's a PG.

  • We may as well put Tyrion in at center.
I agree on Kobe.

Since nobody has said it, Lebron James. If he started his career as a celtic, we would have won him a championship by now. But he didn't, and the Lebron James of today won't be able to develop that "Celtic Pride", i think.
I like Marcus Smart

I think I would take absolutely anyone on the Celtics besides Lebron James (including Kobe!!!!)

I would argue that it is Joe Dumars who thinks he is a PG.

Lebron has jumped to the top of this list for me.  This year, he has transformed into the most unlikable sports figure on the planet (leaving Kobe WAY back there in the dust).

I don't find him unlikeable as much as I think less of his intelligence. 


His handlers make the decision to do the ESPN decision.  He doesn't know what to do without the ball.  He doesn't do well with an open mic and no script.  He calls himself "king james"

Good one. I'd hate to have Charlie V here.

I would love to have any of the other three on the C's though. I like Stuckey too (solid starting PG, excellent backup combo guard).

i'd take him as a backup PF for scoring purposes.

as for who should never be, LeBron James. That massive ego does not belong in the the Celtics.

I'd have Noah. Just long enough to hit him with a bus then send him back to Chicago with two broken legs.
