I am amazed at how many people overvalue the players other teams want to dump. I've yet to hear a sensible suggestion for getting a player who actually fits the awkward pairing of our incredibly athletic, creative players and our plodding, unimaginative coach who refuses to let them run.
Um, I gotta go with PapaG on this one. Say what you want about the series, about Garnett being out, or the C's being old--whatever. Dude averaged a triple-double. If that's not being "destroyed", I'm not sure I know a word for it. And I know a few words.
I think Jason Kidd's your man. It'd have to be someone who can: a) say "yes, Nate, I've been a pretty good PG for a while, too. Now let us play" b) involve our big men in the halfcourt offense. c) shoot the occasional Steve Blake Special Corner 3. d) Run the break when our centers mop up defensive rebounds like it's cool e) play some semblance of team defense
