That's the key. If Ainge thinks the Celts can win now then Gortat is a must have.

Stop pretending to better than everyone else. 

Come on, Kirk, it was only weeks ago that you wanted a trade. Now you're saying we don't need a trade? Flip-flopping?

See, that's the problem with you, when the Celts were losing you said make a trade, now that the Celts are winning, no trade. So if the Celts go on a losing streak again you will once again ask for a trade?

Winning or losing doesn't change the fact that the Celtics need another big man. NBA experts from ESPN and NBA TV have more credibility than you. You really expect us to believe you more instead of the NBA experts?

They are 18-17 they have not won enough games yet.  This team needs to make a move.

In response to concord27's comment:

Totally agree.

The problem is very obvious, we get outrebounded almost every game. 

If the Celtics improve their rebounding, the defense will improve also. 

Limiting the opponent's 2nd chance points will result in the opponent scoring fewer points. The Celts gave the Suns way too many 2nd chance points from offensive rebounds. It would've been a blowout if the Celtics didn't allow the Suns to get 19 offensive rebounds.

Toronto recorded 5 wins in a row recently so does it mean they don't need any changes and good enough to win the championship? O_o

We have to make a move If we are expecting to go deep in the play offs. We are still being out rebounded by most teams. KG and Sully cannot hold the fort by themselves. We need another solid big and I believe another dead eye shooter...

I WOULDN'T GIVE UP FAB MELO FOR GORTAT - JUST TOO MUCH UPSIDE TO GIVE AWAY FOR A GUY LIKE GORTAT

- INSTEAD , MAYBE CHANNING FRYE MIGHT BE A MORE REALISTIC OPTION ? GIVE UP BASS AND LEANDRO BARBOSA (SUNS WOULD TAKE BARBOSA BACK AT MINIMUM WAGE IN A HEARTBEAT)

- CHANNING FRYE IS LONGER THAN BASS AND CAN PLAY CENTER, HE IS A BETTER REBOUNDER THAN BASS AND IS A KILLER KILLER KILLER 3 POINT SHOOTER , YOU GET A CENTER WITH LENGTH WHO'S A SLIGHTLY BETTER REBOUNDER THAN BASS - BUT WITH A OFFENSIVE DIMENSION THAT ADDS MORE THAN BASS'S OFFENSE EVER COULD , PERHAPS MOST IMPORTANTLY , MOVING BASS CLEARS THE WAY FOR MORE MINUTES FOR SULLINGER

YOUR THOUGHTS ?

In response to Ortiz123's comment:

But you do realize that we will have to give up something, possibly a lot, to get that.  If I could get Gortat for Bass and draft picks it will be a no brainer move.

The Celts will just have to develop their shooters.  I expect Terry to find his touch as the Celts start winning.  AB's shooting will be an issue.  He will get better as the season progresses but come playoffs and pressure, his shooting will dip.  I am not a fan of Rondo + stuff for Cousins and Tyreke Evans.

I have said before that I see Gortat as the best fit.  That is because they can, hopefully, get him with little disruption to who they are.  And Gortat is the best fit without requiring to make major changes to the system.  Similar possibility could be players like Kevin Serraphin.

Danny is rumored to be very active.  But he was active in each of the last three seasons.  I just don't expect any major moves.  The Celtics have very nice depth and a good system going.  He will only make a small complimentary move.

Looks like you think highly of the Celtics taking care of players with heart issues.  Has Channing Fry played this year?  He is listed as having an enlarged heart.
