We are a Dominant two guard away from being title contenders

[KG Living Legend]

 I love Avery. But the wiser part of me knows he's the weak link in our starting five after the Asik trade goes down.

 

[Edgar]

Delonte? 

[wdleehi]

He is not the weakest link.



The weakest link is a top line offensive player. 




I agree that he is the most likely one to upgrade until you look out there.  Who are the top line offensive players at SG?  What are the chance that any of them would be available?



Celtics have to be open to finding that player, no matter what the position is.

Trade Bradley and Humphries for Eric Gordon if the Asik trade goes down.

add to that the fact that hes scoring pretty pretty well this days
Deffends still elite
and Now adopted as Edgars Boy.

Man you can beat that

Trade Bradley and Humphries for Eric Gordon if the Asik trade goes down.

Not unless you really believe he is just underperfoming.  14 million for a SG averaging under 16 a game?

Specially
If you can keep an elite defender at 8 mills or so... averaging over 14 ppg

  Most good teams have weakest links worse than Avery. We could just as easily trade out Green.

Why not go after waiters? The Cavs aren't happy about his relationship with KI. Why not trade for him. The boy can score and is still young.

Or Sully.


Or Asik

  I think Sully's going to be better going forward than Green or Bradley if he stays healthy, and Asik's a pretty good starting center. There would be less improvement if you replaced one of them IMO.

[revcummings]

If we get Asik we will be one of the top defensive teams in the league and I think we will generate a lot of our offense off of defense and in transition.

With that being said it would be great to have a go to guy when things slow down in the half court (especially during the playoffs) and during crunch time.

I have a feeling we will either trade up in this coming draft or C. Anthony will be headed to B-Town.

Imagine if our team was the following:

Rondo/Crawford
Bradley/Green
Anthony/Green/Wallace
Sully/KO
Asik/Fav

I think we could go real deep with that group. I think that group does especially well against the cHeat!

I think all of them could be good starters. 



I also think all of them could be upgraded.  (not all of them at once mind you.  Just one or if the Celtics get lucky, two.)

Are you kidding?  Avery has all star potential and is only 23. 

[2short]

i agree
i like avery and understand he is still improving but give us a ray allen like player in his prime and that is a great team, true contender

i still like what ainge and stevens are doing, very good well rounded team
who knows maybe one of the draft picks turns into paul pierce part II?
