Potential 2010-2011 Team...."Anything is possible"

We all hope that Danny is on the phones working every opportunity and possibility out there, for the C's and its fans to be able to dispose of the bitter after taste of the nba finals! There are a few deficiencies (REBOUNDING, consistent bench scoring, perimeter shooting, Rondo having to play 2-3qtrs straight at times, low post scoring as some of our bigs fell in love with the jumpshot..etc )  that arose through out the last year and especially in the finals.  Danny and Doc will have to address these issues through trades, free agency and good ole wheeling and dealing. Our first priority now is to be pro active and look at the big men situation and gage where Rays head is at in terms of resigning.

It seems as though that Kwame Brown is on Dannys radar but this initially raises so many red flags. But then having a moment to think of it danny may be just covering all possibilities. The other options for back up center would be Brad Miller(maybe to expensive as we may need to use MLE for starting wing player if ray leaves and we may be priced out of the running as the chips fall after free agaecy bonanza)...Shaq (pick and roll D suspect and not sure he wants to be a backup....etc)...Jermaine O'neal(maybe a better option at the VM for a year or 2?). Also the decision would have to be based on Perks recovery so if and when he comes back how does he fit into the rotation especially if the Team looks like this:

Starters: PG. Rondo; SG. Ray-(Mike Miller/Kyle Korver via MLE if Ray leaves); SF. PP; PF. KG; C. David Lee/Al Jefferson (via sign and trade...TA & pick + RW...etc)

Back up: PG. Nate/Ridnour(if Affordable) & or A. Bradley; SG. Rudy Fernandez(via trade...TA / Nate & Daniels or pick+cash if necessary);  SF. T Mac/Josh Howard(via VM) or (Shane Battier in the FEB trade window  or next year via FA);  PF. BB & 'Gody;  C. Brad Miller(via MLE if not used & if unable to get D Lee/AJ) /J O'neal(via VM only) / Kwame Brown????(only if Perk will be back by dec/jan fully recovered and therefore KB returns to shelden williams role).

Some of these options not only cover us for the next year but also give us a foundation for the upcoming transition period without 1 or 2 of the big 3 and allows us to be competitive and keep up with moves that our rivals are making in order to get better. 

It's up to Danny now to make this POSSIBLE!

Be respectful and keep it clean. Thanks.

Pretty comprehensive break down

I’d also add Barbosa as one of the possible trade targets for a bench role as I do believe Danny has called about him.

It is a shame that the success of next season is going to require the success of some longshot reclamation projects (Josh Howard, T Mac, Kwame, Jermaine O’Neal) or the elimination of the aging process (Brad Miller, Shaq).
