TP for the Animal House quote. Its Steamer and J2 time.

In other words time to lose

I hope the man is ok and lives to be an old man.


With that out of the way, it is time to start wheeling and dealing our 1st rounders and renting some depth. It is worth it to give these guys one more legit shot.

I've been in favor of this strategy but without Wilcox and JO, it's going to take a hell of a lot of DA magic to make it worth that. I'm just not seeing it.

JO, Wilcox and Dooling now become expiring contracts that make the numbers work.

So something like:

JO, Wilcox, Dooling, Marquis and the Clipper pick

For

Chris Kaman

Could work

That's the sort of move the team needed while they still had Wilcox.  Not enough without him.

I suppose if we were to continue to start KG/Bass, and bring Kaman and JuJuan off the bench it might work.  Have to hope JJ is ready for the prime time though.  Either that or go small ball in the 2nd unit.

Stiemer is probably closer for what they need than 3J.

Maybe.

Which do you think is a better rotation?

C- KG/Kaman
PF- Bass/JJ

or

C-Kaman/Stiemsma
PF-KG/Bass

Personally, I'd choose the 1st option.  Either way, neither JJ or Stiemer would get much time, it'd be a mostly 3 man rotation.

And besides, we're not getting Kaman likely anyways.  And I'm not sure he'd be much benefit.

All of a sudden that horrible Blatche/McGee trade combo starts looking better and better.. (*slaps self*) aaaaahhhhh!!!!!!!

I'd probably go with KG and Stiemer, then Kaman and Bass.

But you're right, Kaman's not going to be enough to right the ship.  

I'm really okay with Danny trading away parts of the Big 3 and having only a couple of young reinforcements to finish the season in their place: more playing time to develop the youth, better positioning for two of their draft picks, and probably another pick or two.

I doubt they'd go with that obvious a rebuild at this stage, however, and expect Danny will bring in at least a veteran big guy to get them through the season.

[jdz101]

What about grabbing Kurt Thomas from Portland if they are looking to rebuild?

Cheap. Decent defender, and cheap

[Celts Fan 92]

wat the hell man just when he was playin good we HAVE to make a trade now I hope everything is OK wit Wilcox

[chambers]

Don't worry, this happens....

[ACF]

C'mon guys!

Did we give up when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor?

I guess our choices are
1. stand pat
2. trade Rondo, Pierce or Ray for a big or
3. Blow It Up.

2 or 3 are OK with me.

Not to nitpick, but when did the Germans bomb Pearl Harbor?  

Forget it.  He's rolling.

Haha, TP.

Get well soon, mr. Wilcox! Best wishes.

[Celts Fan 92]

i predict a desperation move comin up if Wilcox is out for the season ie trading for JJ Hickson i mean he's athletic nd can rebound he just has 0 basketball iq I kno the kings are trynna dump him, dude did average 14 nd 9 boards last year

[lightspeed5]

people need to calm down

this may have been a good thing unintentionally. now the jujuan johnson show will be unleashed. my body is ready.

[apc]

this will be a false alarm.
they are probably just being extra careful.

[manl_lui]

wish him well

hope this isn't a excuse to blow it up...maybe Johnson will start seeing some minutes

Ainge has said numerous times that they won't trade future picks for short term help so why do you think he'll trade a #1 pick for a rental.....
