PLAYERS: Rajon Rondo, Stephon Marbury, Tony Allen, Ray Allen, Paul Pierce, Kevin Garnett, Kendrick Perkins, Eddie House, Leon Powe, Bill Walker, Brian Scalabrine, Gabe Pruitt, Antonio McDyess
Since it's Father's Day, I'm feeling a bit entitled. So after cracking a Labatts with my eggs and giving my kid a chocolate bar for breakfast, I've decided to write up my "dream" Celtics roster for the upcoming season.
This is a realistic wish list. In other words, if Danny builds this team for next season, I will be very happy.
Here goes:
- Rajon Rondo
- Ray Allen
- Paul Pierce
- Kevin Garnett
- Kendrick Perkins
- Glen "Big Baby" Davis
- Stephon Marbury
- Eddie House
- Anthony Parker
- Antonio McDyess
- Leon Powe
- Bill Walker
- Brian Scalabrine
- Gabe Pruitt
No real big splashes, but I don't think this team needs big splashes to win a title. I believe bringing Baby back is key for the bench and insurance for KG. McDyess also helps the front court. Parker and Marbury (who will be better next year) provide backcourt depth. Leon's return at mid-season will be the equivalent of Danny making a deal at the trade deadline. There's another roster spot and that might belong to J.R. Giddens, but he'll make little impact. Under my scenario, Tony Allen is traded for a package of headbands. Is this team old? A bit. But it's all about loading up and winning next year.
FWIW, Rondo's agent (Bill Duffy) told Marc Spears via text that all the wild trade rumors were simply “not true.’’
After the jump, a Father's Day gift for our readers....you could even grab your kid and play connect the dots with this one.
