The Boston Celtics once had a legendary big three (Bird, Parish, McHale) but the bench wins championships (or bullpen or pitching or lines, really just the backups) this year Shaq, Jermaine Oneal, Chris Wilcox, KG, Glen Davis and Greg Stiemsa were suppose to do that but Shaq's retirement, Davis trade (for Bass(upgrade)) and season ending injuries to swing foward Jeff Green, Jermaine Oneal (wrist) and Chris Wilcox (heart) have devastated the celtics while the potential signing of J.J Hickson seemed to offer help, but he will only go to the suns or warriors with the warriors being the front runners. The Celtics may have to sign recently waived cavs big man Ryan Hollins to get a big.
Here are the major possibilities for depth in the NBA:
Gilbert Arenas:PG: apparently was signed by the Grizzlies
James Posey:SF:unsigned and unknown the hustler may be done
J.J Hickson:PF: seemed to be a perfect acquisition but is now a warrior(or sun)
Ryan Hollins:C: now ex-cav is a solid reserve but couldn't get it together
Boris Diaw:PF: Could be bought out and waived maybe signed then
Derek Fisher:PG: now a F/A after being completely bought out
Patty Mills:PG: will be a spur eventually but dont know how soon
Chris Johnson: C: Hornets just claimed this big off waivers
Greg Oden:C: recently waived, he may never play again but i hope he does
Shawne Williams:SF: unlikely to be bought out, plays good D and shoots well
Josh Powell: PF: the most likely to be signed by the celtics, he is a former laker reserve and a banger
Ronny Turaif: C: would be the best of the real options, he is fragile but plays hard
