Boston/Oklahoma City 

Post#1 » by celtsfan241 » Thu Jan 15, 2009 8:37 pm

Just curious what you all think...does this makes sense and is there any chance Ainge would
do this. Most people agree we need a back up point, sf, and center. Personally, like many of you I would like to see Pruitt and POB get more playing time. I think Pruitt can handle the back up pg, just needs an opportunity. Now then looking at Ok City's roster Chris Wilcox is the guy I would like the Celts to look at, played at Maryland would be hometown favorite, put up nice numbers the last two years at center position, has been riding the pine last 4 games. Swift is another possibility, too young and injury prone for my liking. Damien Wilkens is the other player, who I think could fill Posey's role, if Walker is not going to get some run. Looked good last night hopefully this will continue. I would rather have a guy like Wilcox (26yrs old) vs Brown or Joe Smith

i wouldnt give up TA and House in the same deal for him unless we had marbury or someone else lined up, we still need some sort of back court off the bench

however im a big fan of wilcox and he'd be a great fit off the bench here, if it could happen id be down... cant see OKC being interested in what we have though

The problem with Wilcox is that while he is younger and more rugged than a guy like Joe Smith he is a total zero on the defensive end so I just don't see him fitting in with Boston. Joe probably isn't much better but he at least seems coachable.
