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

Also Al Jefferson is a free agent this summer, so we may not even have to use Pierce to get him in a sign and trade. I think he gets a bad rap from being in one bad situation (for him) after another. And I think that the Celtics would be a perfect fit for him.

I also think that Big Al's game (in the low post and rebounding) would fill a need for the Celtics that Josh Smith does not. He may be an excellent defender, but the team needs another consistent scorer who is willing to buy into what the Celtics is about, and that is TEAM first. And Josh Smith is anything but a team first guy.

Red Auerbach once said that he would rather have a guy who can score than a guy who just plays great defense but is not a great scorer, because you can teach defense if the guy buys in, you can't teach a natural ability to score. Big Al is a scorer. Josh Smith is a shooter who gets streaky.

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

I agree the josh Smith obsession is obnoxious as well....he's better and has more impact then the pitiful turtle slow and dumb no defense big Al though, and he actually gets his team to the playoffs every year.

Yeah I'm on this bandwagon as well.   I keep hearing AL Jefferson ...never dies.....NO WAY ,

GO with the default ruling of Smith.

I go with the defense of Josh Smith ( his speed on the fastbreak is a bonus)

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.

And Boozer who is 6-9 260

To me I'd rather have Big Al.   With Green we've already got a somewhat similar talent to Smith.  WE HAVE NO POST GAME...

What does this have to do with anything, and why is Howard coming off the bench for Asik -_-

How do you expect the Rockets to get CP3, Josh Smith, and Dwight Howard...?

Is it too late to vote for Milsap or Horford?
At least a goldfish with a Lincoln Log on its back goin' across your floor to your sock drawer has a miraculous connotation to it.

Big Al is better scorer and rebounder . Would love to see what prime Rondo and prime Big Al could do , with Rondo's passing ability , and big al's post moves !

Jeff Green does a lot of what Josh Smith can do .

Plus I want to see what Sully can develop into

Rondo
Bradley
Green
Sully
Big Al

has potential to be a 50+ win team with a good bench IMO

WHile I'm always on the "get smith in green" crowd, I never took into account Greens abilities (assuming he is not involved in the trade) when considering Smith. Now that I look at it Big Al would be a better option. I'd take the hit on defense over the ill advised shots all game.
The Nets will finish with the worst record and the Celtics will end up with the 4th pick.

"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."

TP Kane3387

Not only is that possibly realistic, if we were going to move on from Pierce and KG, it's a solid plan.

While the league may be going smaller with jump shooting, spacing and drive and kick ball. I also think with the right talent you can impose your will on teams - Indiana is big and I believe they will have a legit shot to get to the finals this year.

I like the low post scoring of Big Al - Draft or sign a real defensive minded PF behind him - Georgi Dieng wouldn't be bad.

I also like your idea of trading Bledsoe for a shooter. I actually wanted us to trade Ray Allen to the Clips a few years back for Bledsoe and one of their off guards, can't remember who ti was at the time.

But I also like the idea of trading him for a shooter - help spread the floor for Jefferson's low post game.

If we keep Pierce and KG, which I'd also be fine with, I'd love to find some way we could get Jefferson or Smith here.

1. Josh Smith or Big Al
2. 16th pick
3. Rondo and Sully back healthy
4. back up center

That team would seriously contend.
