I’ve felt since the summer that they keep Walker and trade GIddens. Of course I’ve barely seen GIddens play and he did well in the D league so I would love to see what he can do. He has length and can shoot which is a skill that walker doesn’t have. Still, walker can defend and play the backup 3 and he could probably replace tony allen thereby making him tradeable. I also think Gabe has shown he belongs in the NBA whether on our team or another so he has value. If there’s a market for TA I’d trade him in a heartbeat. Sure he can score 30 on you one night but the next night he’s MIA. Baby seems to be playing harder. I think he knows he’s on the block. Scal appears to be safe and as much as it pains me to say it he has helped the team the past few games. But you have to give something to get something and he makes the most $ on the team so he’s obviously in the mix when it comes to doing a deal.

Bill Walker makes me wonder if he’s Tony Allen with more self-control. Pruitt again looked good playing defense and handling pressure while dribbling. I think he’s the answer as backup point guard.

And once again, O’Bryant looked good during the chaotic garbage minutes he was out. Several have taken particular notice of his two air balls, but he looked good in defense, particularly in bothering shots. And since I seem to take a minority view on playing O’Bryant, I was interested to hear that Tommy Heinsohn shares it with me.

I think Powe is the one being showcased. He’s a good offensive player only against certain matchups and doesn’t play good defense against bigs, which is what we need out bigs to do the most. The most often used phrase by the Celtics commentators regarding Powe: “This is a tough matchup for Powe.”

if thyere is a trade brewing, i think it’s less about what we give up and more about what we get. i hated to see big al, gomes, and delonte go, but look at what we got.

I know it’s the Nets, but they’ve been doing ok lately. But the C’s looked like a different team last nite. Home cooking. They just looked rested and played with more energy and focus. It could be their recent problems was just the schedule catching up to them. Hopefully that’s all it was. I know we need to be better and I’m sure Danny is working on this. Wyc said, when he sat in with Mike and Tommy, that we were looking to improve the roster.

1. Powe and BBD are unrestricted free agents in June. One will be resigned, one will be traded, either at the deadline, on draft night, or in a sign and trade over the Summer.

2. Either Walker or Giddens will be traded. Walker obviously has more value. The NBA has known about him since he was 14 years old, and being O.J. Mayo’s high school teammate didn’t hurt. Plus Walker is a very high I.Q. kid.

3, The BIG decision is what to do about Ray Allen in 2009-2010.

I thought walker’s D was ok and his rebounding was very good. He plays bigger than he is and like Pierce is strong and can get to the hoop. I’d love to see giddens as well so I can get some idea as to his abilities

Team still has ability to get better, especially on bench. Do not risk extra strong chemistry for marginal talent improvement. (Tyron Lue will be mentoned by bloggers shortly). Unless the team has obvious hole in Feb. No sooner but then grab the missing piece. By the way, I do think the Marbury idea was bad then maybe

I think both JR Giddens and Bill Walker have far more value as players and prospects … than they do as trade assets.
