can't teach height. I think for the vet min, you're highly unlikely to find better than Hollins. He's legit 7 ft, huge wingspan, fast, high jumper and active. If he were polished, he'd be getting paid $12M a year. For a 12 minute a night guy vs certain teams, I like him a lot on this team. Hollins for vet min is superior to McGee for $13M or whatever he's projected to get.

Hopefully, if you get enough young leaper types like Hollins, Williams, Melo etc .. .. you'll wind up  winning those rebounding battles that we used to lose, intimidating more in the paint, blocking more shots, etc.

Bring him back. Vet min.

Winning rebounding battles and Hollins do not go together. And I would much rather have McGee at 13 than Hollins at the min.

You also cant teach an old dog new tricks, hes been in the league long enough to have gotten better already.
Being tall doesnt make you a good rebounder, manute bol or ben wallace???

I would rather have Wilcox, Camby and Williams +sully /Mel

Steamer , I like , if he is healthy, he is really ruff when his ft were screwed up. He was like Ray Allen...basically a liability.

I do think Sully/Melo are on a fast track to learning the NBA , they are gonna be needed big time  the second half of the season I'm thinking. 

Camby, Wilcox , Steamer to hold the fort down till the kids can get up to speed.


BRING back   ...... SHeeeeeeeeeddddddddd  ;D

I think everyone would, but the Celtics aren't going to be able to afford that.

Hollins was the worst player I have seen in a Celtics' uniform in a long time. Just an atrocious player and clearly one of the 10 worst in the NBA.

For the money he was receiving (vet min) I'd say he was passable. Contrast that with players like Mark Blount, for example, who were atrocious, but paid like kings (well, princes, I guess).
