The biggest problem for the Celtics is rebounding and defense. Iverson won't do anything to change that...getting Iverson is simply a bandaid...probably a 1-year bandaid at that.
Anyways...the biggest problem we have IMO is at the 2 spot...this is where we are getting killed. We have no #2 right now other than Gerald Green that will light it up as a #2...as he matures, he will make a much better small forward.
Here's my lineup .... based on a healthy team of course.
Center: Perkins backed up by Olawakandi
PF: Jefferson backed up by Scalabrine.
SF: Gomes and Green split duty for the year.
SG: Pierce backed up by Wally/Allen depending on defensive need.
PG: Telfair backed up by Rondo
Perk, Jeffereson and Gomes gives you plenty of size down low to pound most teams. The main problem we have is that our SF...Pierce, takes too many perimeter shots to help on the boards.
When the Celtics were winning their rings ... we had SG's like ML and DJ helping with the board total....we get very little from Wally, West...etc.
Anyways...doubt Doc would do it...but if he wants to win and keep the kids...this is the way to go. If they need to trade...then trade West and Telfair for a decent 6th man. No trading of Pierce, Rondo, Green and Big Al.
