I'm glad we got T Will and Crawford but after watching opponents get offensive rebound after offensive rebound against us, it astonishes me why we haven't acquired bigs (or why the focus isn't on getting bigs).

I hope danny will prove me wrong in the next 30 minutes.

Sorry, but the bigs just don't exist.  At least not for what we are able to offer.

I'm so on board with this thread. It's insane we don't work more to get rebounding and shot blocking help. It's brutal.

Bring in Saer Sene. Mutombo is running around lately. Somebody, anybody!

How many bigs were moved at the deadline that the Celtics missed out on?

Boston had very little to trade to net a quality big.

There is better talent available in free agency than they could have gotten in the trade market. Kenyon Martin being the top guy. DJ White. One or two others.

Now Woj is reporting we sent out Collins as part of the Crawford deal. Shaking my head!

Well let's see. Cole Aldrich, Thomas robinson, Josh McRoberts, Hakim Warrick and Haddadi were all traded. I'd prefer one of those than adding another guard in our already guard-filled roster. Just my opinion.

As much as Danny had been on the phone with Sacramento, he didn't know Thomas Robinson was on the block for peanuts? At this point i'm praying when Phoenix buys out J.O. we get him back. We need help in the middle desperately!

As pitiful as the package for Robinson was, it is better than anything we could have offered.

This Celtic trade was about nothing more than shedding $600,000 worth of salary. That's it.

The team is spending no more money this year. They know they can't win a title without Rondo, so they shed salary in an attempt to get under the luxury tax and now will stand pat and ride out the year with what they have hoping to get everyone back healthy next year and give it one last shot at 18 with this group.

Jason's brother, Jarron is certainly available and a pretty good facsimile (clearly).

We ought to do better but it wouldn't hurt to add him to the depth chart.
