Well, I mean, if Haralabos doesn't like it...

He's made tens of millions of dollars betting basketball starting almost from scratch. He definitely knows more about basketball than anyone on this forum. Don't know why you wouldn't be interested in his opinion.

More interested in the opinions of Rick and Donnie, which we may know soon enough. Also:

1) I'm sure Harabolamanunus never profited by bluffing with his publicly endorsed opinions.
2) There's betting what's going to happen when two already constructed teams play one another, and then there's constructing a team. Success in the one does not imply any particular talent for the other, especially when you consider the prominent role that brute force statistical modeling and insider information on injuries and the like play in betting success.

We have to be prepared for 18 min of Greg Smith as back up center.
We have to be prepared for a lot more Parsons at the 4.

I'm not saying you don't do it, but that sounds painful.

Can we get Olynyk out of this if we toss in Jameer or Felton? I know he's not a prize, but he's godda be better than Smith. I don't think they'd give up Zeller.

Are you serious? The kid is having an excellent season, putting up 16/8/3 PER36, 11,4/5,6/2 otherwise, with a block and a steal basically, above 60%TS. He recently had a 30/9 game. At the very least, he is an excellent role player in this league. There is absolutely no way the Celtics would trade him for Nelson or Felton. I personally wouldn't trade him for a Wright/Harris package.

Fair enough. I haven't watched much Celtics, but when I watch them, I've been underwhelmed by Olynyk. If they won't trade Zeller or Olynyk, my comments regarding being prepared for 18 minutes of Greg Smith at backup center and more CP at 4 stand. This concerns me.

We're still loaded with assets to trade for another center... Or we can pull Okafor/O'Neal off the scrapheap.

We have options.
