2nd year potential, What about Pruitt?

In the upcoming season, Bill Walker and J.R Giddens will have some more experience. I see a lot of promise from Walker, he has great driving ability and don't forget to vote for him in the dunk contest he is sure to be in sooner or later. If he can get a good jump shot and hit the occasion 3, he will be a great addition to the team. Probably backing up Paul Pierce.

As for Giddens, he hardly saw playing time but I hear he's a great defender, amazingly athletic ( like Walker ) and has a decent jumper already. I say give him a chance if Eddie doesn't come back. See how he does and if he could back up Ray.

Now, about Gabe. I really like his playing style. He's very quick, long, and he can shoot the 3 ball. Could he be rondo's back up?

What do you think about any or all of these guys?

Trade Perkins?

As we all know, the Celtics are lacking in size. So the last thing we want to do is trade Perkins....right? Wrong. If we can trade Perkins and somebody else like T.A, Scal or Pruitt for a early round draft pick it would be a good move. Perk is a great defender, but ever since the shoulder injury he has been lacking on offense. So think of it this way, trading Perk and someone else we don't need. And getting a younger, more athletic center ( he'd have to be a big guy ). This would also free up some money so we could go searching for some back-up's.
