Cassell is here to take Eddie’s minutes (not that anyone here didn’t get that, but nationally, I think it wasn’t seen that way at first.)

Tom T is gonna be gone (someone’s gonna give him a head coaching job you would think, and great call noticing that. he’s flown under the radar big time this year, and he’s done a hell of a job!) and Doc is in over his head w/out him, but with a veteran team, I’d think guys like Sam, KG, Paul, and Ray could lead the team. Tom was needed this year, now that they’ve played like that, it’s tough to see them reverting back, but who knows…

As for the big men, all the guys you listed are worth keeping except Scal (no one would take him though. NO ONE) and probably Pollard who’s on a 1yr. deal anyway, so it’s done this summer.

I love Powe (great energy guy) and Davis (works just as hard as Powe on the glass with slightly worse results, but you have to love the effort, and actually has a bit of a mid-range game),

Perk is a really good fit for his role, which is just take up space, play good D, and bust his butt on the glass, and make a put back here and there. He’s useless starting on a bad team, but next to a stud like KG, he excells (as much as he ever will anyway!) Powe can be a backup center too and both he and Davis have locked down great players to win games for us this year (Dwight and TD) so I’d love to keep them both and let them keep developing and see what they can turn into.

Regardless, Davis doesn’t have enough value to get anything back for and Powe’s too valuable to our team to trade, so that’s probably not gonna happen w/out a sign-and-trade involving Scot Pollard (who’d want that?) Since we traded EVERYTHING of value that we’d actually be willing to trade, a trade is out.

We need to get a 2/3 through the draft (I was hoping for Brandon Rush and CDR before they conspired to kill that dream in the Nat’l Title Game) and I’ve seen Kyle Singler from WSU as a guy that’d be around at that pick.

Trust me YAll, I was leading the Fire Danny charge last year, but after this year, he should be the Exec. of the Year (just as much for landing Posey, and sticking it out to get PJ Brown and Sam Cassell instead of jumping at Damon Stoudemire.) Having said that, his track record of guys he’s actually wanted in the first round as opposed to guys he drafted cuz those others were gone is pretty terrible. Case in point, he wanted Robert Swift over Big Al. He has found a ton of gems in the 2nd round though, so I don’t really know what to think. His job’s safe now, but I’m not entirely encouraged with him leading the rebuilding effort that’s sure to start around 2010.

they on a good track, but you can clearly see they put all their eggs into THIS seasons basket. sam cassell didnt come over for rajon rondo; i told yall he came over cause eddie house is a bum. get rid of that chucker in beantown

celts need to move one of their bigs (davis, powe, perkins, scal, pollard) and get an athletic big man. none of those guys are athletic (ask the hawks) and they all seem undersized at pf and center.

get another shooter behind ray allen (and no..not some reggie miller comeback bullshit). perhaps they could move a prospect to land morris almond from utahs dleague team.

hope and pray that tommy t dont leave the bench. if he do…they fucked cause doc rivers is in over his head with the talent level and defense scheme. tommy t made docs job so much easier

and yeah…FIRE danny ainge

here is what danny ferry should do in the offseason to improve cleveland (in no particular order)

* make a deal for a point guard. eric snow and damon jones were never the answer. ferry should go after shaun livingston since he’ll come cheap and go after jamaal tinsley as the backup

* get a center. big z is more underrated than joe johnson and david west combined; but he aint gonna play much longer. get his replacement now. go after the best passing/rebouding center….brad miller?

* get a perimeter defender. they had larry hughes, but he cant stay healthy. maybe desmon mason would be a good pickup here

* add a bruiser. lebron has some muscle as does ben wallace, but they need another enforcer. where is danny fortson?

Am I missing something??? He needs a second option.

@Stop Hatin
The King Shouldn’t need help, Should he? Huuummmmmm?

Assuming we make it there. I’m taking NOTHING forgranted after the first round…
