Not sure Jordan would not mess up the rotation and is somewhat lazy at times.

i'm officially getting my hopes up for DeAndre if he gets bought out. I bet it'll come down to us and Milwaukee.

Would give Boston a rebounder and a big in the middle. Shift Al to PF...Mook to the bench. Makes Boston stronger
This is the only guy I'd consider - and only because he'd help vs Philly and Milwaukee because they could use another reliable big behind Baynes. Theis has been too inconsistent this season to the point where if I'd rather have the shell of DeAndre for those few minutes he might get. 

Other than that, I think you can tell from the way Brad is coaching the team that he has his rotation pretty much down at this point.  I don't think anyone else out there is much of an upgrade on the guys they already have.  Lin for Rozier - yes offensively but Rozier is a much better defender and that's where it all starts for this team.

Do the Celtics have any room in their rotation for a buyout? Can they move Yabu, Semi? It's time to waive Jabari Bird to open a slot?

Sometimes the 2nd unit loses leads and sometimes they provide energy. I'd like to see a table setting guard that can play with Rozier. Rozier isnt the best at running offense to get certain guys good shots or just maintain tempo. We also need another big if they don't want to get William's ready for the playoffs.

The top guy on my list would be Ricky Rubio. If he and Hayward are close as they say, this would be a nice pickup if he were bought out. Utah may not want to part with him.

Jeremy Lin
Dewayne Dedmon
Robin Lopez
Devin Harris
Corey Joseph
Kyle O'Quinn
Shelvin Mack
Noah Vonleh
Jamal Crawford

Is DeAndre Jordan also a buyout possibility?

Robin Lopez would be a great addition, and Lin or Mack could be good if we move Rozier without getting a playable PG back

Do people think there's any chance that Beverley gets bought out (if he doesn't get traded)?
I'm bitter.

Kyle O'Quinn.

We need an Irishman on our team.

I was hoping so but he's played for New York.  My guess is that he'd have been bought out by now.

Pretty sure Corey Joseph isn't a buyout candidate.

Can we trade for Mills or Bertans?

I'd like to see them go for a big man with further upside.  Williams is not ready, Yabu not clear if he's legit NBA material, Theis is OK but struggles with big centers.  Among that list, give me Vonleh or Dedmon.

Vonleh, Dedmon or Lopez. I'd love either.

We don't need a big. We are deep there

Agent Mark Bartelstein is working with the Suns to waive guard Wayne Ellington and allow him to join a playoff contender, league sources tell ESPN. Ellington is arriving with Tyler Johnson from Miami in the trade for Ryan Anderson.

Can Ellington defend at a high level? I know he can shoot but how's his defense?

It would make sense to at least wait for the trade deadline in case there is any chance for a trade.
