It will be difficult for any rookie PG to get time with Rondo and Bradley on board. 

I do think there's a chance we go after a big combo guard with one of our first rounders (if we keep both).

bradley can give you minutes as backup pg as long as pierce is on the floor
i'd rather go after kirk heinrich than use a draft pick for a pg
hey moore is still under contract he might be able to give us 5-10 minutes a game?

One exception.



If they find a large PG who can defend the 2 and shoot, then yes.



A guy that can keep Avery from having to run the offense, but allows Avery create havoc on the other teams 2nd unit PG. 

A guy that can play next to Rondo.

Tony Wroten fits the bill

He can score though. Shooting can be fixed.

Wroten can't shoot, but I'd love to have him. I believe he can play with Rondo as long as there are other shooters on the court - it's not like Bradley is Ray Allen either and they do just fine. Having another guy with this level of ball-handling, passing and finishing would be fantastic to pair with Rondo and run. He can guard 2s and would be able to run the offense and cross-match with Bradley on defense. If he slips, I'd love to grab him. And, apparently, so would Avery.

With Rondo and Bradley out there, I want the Celtics to have the third guard in the rotation being able to nail the open shots.

I would like to see Avery Bradley as a full-time 2 who plays in crunch time and I would like to see Rondo's minutes drop to 35 mpg if it will allow him to go full-speed more often and not play like he is trying to conserve energy for the fourth quarter.
