We have to get someone that can be better at the SG spot. I would love if we could get Igoudula. It's been said that he is going to opt out of his current contract which he is making 15 mil. I feel he wants to demand around 9 a year at least for four years. Try and send off Lee and Terry for Iggy and get him. Pierce could move to the bench as the 6th man. Would have a lineup of.

Rondo(when he returns)
Iggy
Green
Bass
KG

doing nothing , at least major anyway be be the only logical choice at this point. or best option ., given the contracts that are current.   next year would be easier to major overhaul.

Doing nothing is NOT what I want, but it looks like unless DA just runs off PP or Garnett ,  this team very well maybe the same , other than a change up of a few scrubs.

Seems like the Celtics now have made their bed and have to,lie in it.  ....till KG or PP retires. 

Some how we have too much money tied up in average players....that nobody will want.


I think unless DA pushes the issue to trade off PP,  or finds a trade Deal for Rondo,  this team is gonna come back looking pretty much the same.

I saw the lineup and thought, interesting a Pierce for Iggy deal, maybe something Denver would go for.

Then I saw that the proposal was Lee and Terry for Iggy... Say whaaa?

How do you feel about frantically trying to do something but ultimately failing and settling for doing nothing?

I can live with that if it is better then accepting a bad deal.

  I'm generally not a fan of frantic personnel moves.

I wouldn't exactly do nothing, I would do a few small moves, hopefully bring in a reliable big that's cheap to give KG a rest if he's coming back. KG need rest and we need to keep him fresh at all cost. Despite his age, I still say KG is a top 10 big. Going after bigs are our biggest priority.

mozgov is the obvious attainable cheap center

The Rockets seemed to do # 3. Not sure if they ever really had a gameplan but IMO, it really worked out well.

Not wild about JJ Hickson. It seems like too much of a lateral move. Boston would have to give him a fairly large multi-year contract and he doesn't really do enough to improve the team to justify that. I would rather just sign someone lesser to a one year deal and keep the cap flexibility going forward.

Mozgov is not going to be cheap.  I don't think you understand that he is very likely going to get a raise next season.  His salary is like to be at least the MLE and not quite Omer Asik money.  Denver will offer him the qualifying offer of $3.9 million so that he is a restricted free agent and they are allowed to match any offer.  If it is a reasonable contract that will allow him to be traded, they will match.  To get Mozgov, you either have to negotiate a sign-and-trade or offer Mozgov so much money that Denver thinks it is a massive overpay and they will be stuck with the contract.

I think they are doing a good job rolling from option 1 to option 2 while avoiding the trap of the panic option when option 1 fall through.
