Trade

Here's a few trades that would make the Celtics relevant for the next 10 years...

Celtics Trade: The 25th pick, a fill in player/Trade compensation from Daniels to Minnesota for Anothony Randolph

Gives the Wolves cap space to pick up a vet and with Love and Beasley being RFAs next year, hard to keep both and Randolph plus Randolph should be playing more. KG can mentor and set him up to be the heir apparent. Only 21 and is a freak athletically. Also with the 25th pick the Timberwolves could pick whatever position they don't fill with the 2nd.

Celtics sign and trade two possibilities: #1 Sign and trade Big Baby for 6.5 million along with J. O'Neal to Philly for Andre Iguodala. Iggy and Ray could share time and Iggy has great D  and is a big 2/3 guard body that can do many things-create his own shot, drive to the hole, knock down jumpers, throw it down, etc. Philly needs to have a young big man to back up Elton Brand and Baby could do that. Gives them another young guy to go with the rest in Philly, also opens the 2 spot for the young wings pushing Iggy out of town. O'Neal gives them a reliable vet Center and makes the deal work. Would hate to see him go.

Sign and Trade #2: Sign and trade Big Baby to Denver for JR Smith (also would have to sign and trade). Straight up one for one player deal. JR Smith is a freak athletically and gives Boston a "young" vet at only 25 and a running mate for Rondo and Green in the future. Shoots the ball well, athletic, can throw it down, will buy into the D and share the ball game playing with guys like Pierce, Allen, and KG. Even with his problems, everyone can start fresh. Smith would be part of the future. Big Baby fills a need in Denver for a young PF and he would finally get his shot to start, unless Denver brings back K-Mart.

With the Philly deal, obviously Boston would be down a Center...Bring back Kristic to be the #2 and sign either Dalembert,  Oden, Kwame Brown, etc to start for cheap. Either way we get a one-two punch at the C spot with a D minded/rebounding starter and Kristic's offense of the bench with the 2nd unit. Rework some of the Big 3's contracts to create some room of course.

Lineup possiblity

PG Rondo/West SG Ray/Iggy or Smith SF Pierce/Green PF KG/Randolph C Dalembert (or another FA)/Kristic or even O'Neal if we did the Denver deal

Bench: Bradley, Wafer, a vet/young cheap big, 2nd Rd pick, and a D-League guy (Sims, Lasme, Gallon)

2nd Round picks: If we trade our first, we need to look to move up in the 2nd round or possibly make a few Draft pick deals to move back into the first. Targets should be a future big (Jordan Williams, Justin Harper, Trey Tompkins, Lucas Nogueira, or Keith Benson). Guards in the 2nd DeAndre Liggins or Scotty Hopson. Williams I've heard mixed feelings about, Harper is a great spread the floor/shooting big, Nogueira is an absolute FREAK and only 18 years old. Heard both Liggins and Hopson are ideal 2/3s with possibilites of being great in the NBA with some work. Both shoot lights out and are big bodies that can create.
