I also don't see KG be physically able to play the 5 all season and stay healthy/fresh.

This is the biggest part. I want KG playing 24 minutes per game for most of the season.

If the C's believe Stiemsma/Wilcox/Sullinger can eat up 42 minutes per game at center, and only plan to use KG there at winning time, I am good.

Would love to replace Wilcox with Kwame, Lopez or Koufos. Has Pachula re-signed? Can Mozgov play?

I think KG will be playing 28-32 MPG pretty much every game in the regular season. Probably with 80% of those at C, perhaps more depending on whether or not Stiemsma returns.

Stiffs get paid in the NBA. Lopez will get a nice contract. Maybe everyone is finally done giving Kwame serious money, but I don't even know if I'd use the BAE on him. If he can be had for the minimum, maybe.

People always say KG can tap into whatever untapped potential he has, but he's no youngster anymore, he was drafted like 11 years ago.

17 years ago, KG was drafted in '95
Doc's gonna tell you what you need to hear, not what you want to hear.

Yeah iknow, my username is Kendrick Perkins and my ranking is Jeff Green. Ironic huh?

I like Kwame in the sense of he's gonna be there to defend, set hard picks, rebounds and be a big body. But PLEASE not for more than the BAE. If we sign him for 7 million like the Dubs did I'm going to hit myself.

Boy, Rondo will be furious with T-Rex hands down low. I can see it now.

It seems like we always get bigs with bad hands (or is it just common with bigs?). :-\ Perk had terrible hands, so did the Landlord and so does Bass.  Powe and especially Baby had great hands.

He was referring to Kwame , not KG.

Perk had solid hands for a center, and excellent hands for a bruiser.

I don't think I have ever seen Bass drop a pass.

In the right situation, I think Kwame could be the best Center available for what this team needs. Kwame needs motivation, structure and work ethic all of which he could find with the Celtics. Rebounding and post defense are there, I think KG could turn him into Perk 2.0.

Im one who still thinks if Kwame would have been a 4th or 5th pick and went anywhere with structure, he would have been a good NBA center. Larger hands would of helped as well lol.
