In the future, must Boston get taller to compete in east?

draft hansborough ( move up to get him by trading tony and/or pruitt or giddens) and sign either mcDYess or Pachulia. I love Pachulia's toughness. I lkie Javal McGee as a young player but there's no way we get him. A guy like brad miller or even a jeff foster would also be great on our bench.

^Why sign Hansbrough(sp), wouldn't he be another undersized power forward?

Celts need to rebuild, I hope you understand the KG trade was a future for now thing.
So you expect Celts going go low for years.

Why are people so high on Tyler Hansbrough? I thought the point is to get taller. He isn't tall... Probably, only 6'7''... If that's the case, I prefer to resign Powe.

Too bad Shelden Williams hasn't yet pan out in this league. But, he doesn't have ideal height either for your center.

Rasho is another solid option... i was watching for those years in minny but cant quite remember what his relationship with KG was like

Well I remember they had great on-court chemistry, but KG wasn't the biggest overall fan of him, I recall him even calling rasho "soft"

I would've an interest in Nesterovic too. But, the salary could be better if he plays overseas.

Tall isn't going to mean a damn thing if you can't get off the bench. Doc needs his bigs to understand and execute the defense. Why is height such an issue for this team exactly? They are great defensively, they rebound the ball well.

I am expecting Boston to make a run at a 3/4 guy more than a classic big, guys like Dyess and Sheed not withstanding. I would expect that Boston would have interest in either Ariza or Odom if LAL lets them walk. Just because he used to kill us I wouldn't be shocked if Boston took a flyer on a guy like Stro Swift.
