If Pierce trade can land you only one, who do you want? JSmith or Al Jefferson?

[krook]

This is a tough one.

Big Al lacks the defense.
Josh Smith is sometimes an inconsistent scorer.

I'll close my eyes and pick Josh Smith.

just watch atlanta vs indiana
jefferson? i'd rather have enes kanter

[kg is king]

i really dont think it's about size anymore
the "big man" days are fading

chi town proves it about team ball

Chi town also has Noah, who is by no means small.

Although I don't really agree with your point on keeping Pierce in this situation I do agree that the league is moving away from half court pound it down low. It's becoming more and more about spacing, shooting, and penetrating and kicking.

going big againt's knicks and heat is the best way to beat them, if you noticed last year with hibbert, lebron and wade can't attack

when dallas beat the heat..tyson roaming inside and dirk push haslem away, dirk 7'0, haslem 6'8, kg can even guard him and i will put 7footer guy in 6'11 bosh, he is quick but size gives pressure to opponent to shoot, even bosh goes at 3 point line i'll force big man to go after him, giving height maybe kg can out rebound haslem

game 1 indiana give them a boost winning by 1, by going big, but knicks counterattack going small, hibbert is not as quick as felton smith etc; i like the pacers line-up but they don't have a legit scorer that is the problem

atlanta 0lose and indiana 2wins
what did atlanta coach did by moving horford at pf and smith at pf, and 1 guy inserted 7'0 to guard hibbert

if we did go big and we have shavlik and kg on front court, kg as center shavlik as pf, we should have beaten the knicks in some ways,

okc can't even beat the heat small vs. small
specially the lose of harden and westbrook injured

memphis z-bo + gasol going big
noah and boozer..if those 2 big man dominates on rebounds and low post scoring and clogging the middle they can beat the heat, don't care on scoring they got nate and the rest of the guys

if we face heat, haslem birdman lewis battier lebron bosh haslem and we rely on bass and kg? its not enough

even the knicks k-mart tyson melo etc;
what if stoudamaire was playing?
i'm certain he can beat bass anytime anyday, just by attacking the rim

Your a little man to me.  Both in height and weight, I weight that at 6% body fat.

[snively]

Smith - two way player.

[BleedGreen1989]

Everybody seems pretty split. I would probably still side with Al but the more I think about it adding Smith would give this team some scary defensive potential.

Rondo
Bradley
Green
Smith
Garnett

That could be the best defensive team in the league or close to it. Not sure how the hell you're gonna break 80 points however

[Kane3387]

Pierce for big Al. Kg for deandre and Bledsoe. Flip Bledsoe to another team. I'd like Jefferson Jordan and green in the front court with rondo at pg. Trade Bledsoe for a shooter.

the best defender in the league is

PG
TONNY ALLEN
TAYSHUAN PRINCE
ZACH RANDOLPH
MARC GASOL

[Accension13]

indiana vs atlanta watch the reply

josh smith AWFUL AWFUL AWFUL

jefferson can't even bring his team to number #8
put in green, he can even defend al jefferson

josh smith is a weak side shot blocker
he sucks at half court
hero ball paul pierce the 2nd in the making

jefferson is only for scoring, awful defended...6'10 height

gortat, pick and roll block shots low post scoring,less rebounding

guys that can help celtics for sure
dwight howard
joakim noah
tyson chandler
larry sanders
andrew bogut
al horford
adray drummond
anderson varejao
mark gasol

All of what u say may be true, but you are missing a key point. Nobody on this list will likely be acquired by the C's.

Additionally, josh smith is attainable but the C's might not be able to afford him. His terrible playoff performance was no worst than pierces this year.

Al Jefferson is also attainable and a very realistic option because the jazz would probably take pierce in a trade

I'm down with that. Wouldn't even mind hanging on to Bledsoe actually

The Al Jefferson obsession is obnoxious....he's a pathetic loser

So by default j Smith

Haha come on its the exact opposite. By default AJ

Seriously the j smith obsession because people want to see alley oops twice a game  is obnoxious

[gpap]

Al Jeff. Better low-post player and plus he's a former Celtic.
