this might work

but if they have to face bynum  AND  gasol then it wont

and if its just gasol and odom i like to have our center on gasol to bullying him and kg on odom. those matchups always work well.



another thing is that they didnt face orlando in 08 either

that small lineup wouldnt do good against dwight howard

Read that Bill Simmons article and he brought up some good points. With Daniels out Pierce would be the only player on our team who would be able to guard Melo or Bron. I still don't get why they gave up Erden though ..I don't mind them giving up Nate, I like Delonte West better anyways. Perkins will be missed though.

Kendrick Perkins and his former teammates were emotional after learning that the Boston had traded the center to the Oklahoma City Thunder before the deadline on Thursday, according to CSN New England.

"There was a lot of crying, lot of hugging going on," Perkins said before his former team left to go play the Denver Nuggets. "And a lot of it was me."

Perkins, who had played for the Celtics for seven years, was dealt to Oklahoma City along with Nate Robinson in exchange for forward Jeff Green.

"I miss them," Perkins said. "I ain't gonna lie. I'm gonna miss the hell out of them. It's going to be hard leaving them behind, leaving this team behind and the fans and this city. But this is a business, and being traded is part of that business."

His Boston teammates were also upset with the trade.

"It's not even about a teammate. It felt like you lost a family member today," Kevin Garnett said after Boston's 89-75 loss to Denver. "Tough day."

Paul Pierce talked about trusting team president Danniy Ainge and coach Doc Rivers: "We trust in them. It is what it is. We can't use any excuses, cry over spilled milk."

I know I've been following this team since I was a kid and if not for KG falling into our laps, he'd be fresh out of Boston long ago. He disrespected Antoine and got rid of him, pissed off the Truth, messed up the Roy pick, gave Perkins away for some run-of-the-mill backup, gets rid of our young bigs, all for what? This guy is incompetent to @#%@.

and not keeping james posey was the dumbest move of the whole big three era

i think if we kept posey we got atleast one more ring

 
- yall sound like delusional Laker fans usually sound. the Celtics gave James Posey an offer and he walked away thinking he was worth more. well time has shown us what he was really worth, we havent seen or heard from James Posey since what 2008?
 
- then Perkins was offered 30...er 23 million. which was all they could offer him, and he didnt take it. what more can Boston do??
 
 
- i liked Perk too but if Powe does sign back with Boston the trade isnt that bad....
 
 
  

     
*EDIT*
 
 
....my bad:
 

Because the Celtics can only, at this point, offer a contract extension, they are bound by certain rules. The four-year, $23.4 million offer is the absolute most they can offer at this point because it is classified as an extension of the current contract.

[dajondondo]

Pierce cant guard bron and melo alone. because when he rests it will be over with von wafer covering bron or melo.... thats why we wanted battier.

shaq, jermaine and kirstic will do alright ....... but the most dangerous guys are lebron and melo i guess.. jeff green is that posey type player. idk about his defense though but i heard his perimeter defense is good.

hopefully this works... but im scared of Pau and Bynum with no Perk...

^^^ it was a lowball offer


james posey was the 4th most important plaer on that 08 team

only kg, peirce, and ray were more important.



posey aint done nothing because hes been on trash teams.


his powers become amplified in a defensive system like boston

and his offense looks better because of all the open looks

- 

 @ giving the excuse of a lowball offer and in the same breath saying he was the 4th most important player. and they offered him a 4th most important player deal and he turned it down thinking he was Big Shot Rob or somebody.

I'm not saying that at all... But I think the defense loses a big cog. Good thing is that not many teams have even decent centers.

I think the more important issue is loss of chemistry. The Celts looked catatonic against the Nuggets on Thursday.
