missing link? a great wingman: trevor ariza

Carmello’s 17 mil., who is mentioned here quite often.

I don’t know about his dislike for the Celtics but if you remember, Paul Pierce didn’t grow up loving the Green Team all that much.

What we need is a healthy BIG 6.
Our lineup right now is already a championship caliber team.
and hey! Daniels is doing great

He would fit right in with the C’s both defensively and offensively.

Problem is their is no way for the C’s to acquire Ariza unless they trade big name players like Perk and Daniels or Baby, Daniels and a minimum contract player for him.

Now I would never do the Perk and Daniels trade since Perk is way to vital to give up in such a trade.

I would possibly consider giving up Baby, Daniels and a minimum contract player for Ariza only if:

1) The C’s really think Harangody can be a solid back up at the 4 behind KG and Jermaine
2) If the C’s add Lasme to the roster to provide spot duty at the 4 position to guard smaller athletic 4’s
3) If the C’s get assurances Rasheed Wallace will sign with them later in the year as is rumored.

….Because the C’s want to make sure that if they do trade Baby that they do not lose front court depth and have players who can fill the void as described above..

I think the C’s are thin at the 3 and would like them to bolster the position and if they do not want to give up a Perk or a Baby to get one lets keep in mind some talented back up 3 should become available later in the season that could be acquired via buyout signing.

i think all of those players u mentioned are terrible options for us!!! ariza is a chump, and those other guys are worthless to the celts. DA always makes good moves so just let him do his thing.

1st. Yes titles are won with usually the 1st 9 players but as we saw last year we lost the title due to lack of depth.
Its always best to plan for injury’s as Danny has done this year by bulking up the back court and front court…. all he has to do is follow the same plan at the 3 position for the C’s to have insurance at all roster positions prior to entering the playoffs in case injury’s strike any of our players.

2nd. I agree fully it makes no sense to acquire depth at the 3 position if it takes trading away depth from other positions (as my 1st post above mentions).

But if the C’s can be assured they have a proper replacement for that player being traded away (like my example in my post above with Baby being replaced by Harangody, Rasheed and Lasme) then I think it makes sense to make the move since the net result will be the C’s have become a better team overall without losing any depth or talent at the same time.

3rd. I think and recall TA did a pretty good job on Wade, Lebron and Kobe last year.
