As I stated earlier the fact that miller is currently "the big fat O" does not mean that he could not fit into celtics offensive and defensive scheme. In fact I think if he loses the weight under Pitino's tuteledge he will be ideal for the celtics system. Obese people usually develop a disproportionate amount of muscle mass motivating their considerable bulk and when the slim down the become even more athletic than people who have been at a normal body weight(see charles Barkeley). > I say sign PG Damon Stoudamire and move Kenny at the 2 guard and Merc at SF. That would turn the celtics into a defensive sieve. The celtics are currently undersized up front as it is. Adding another lilliput in the back court would ruin the celtic's perimeter defense(and add another big contract to Anderson's and Barros'). Anderson lacks the bulk to effectively defend most players at his own position much less shooting guards. While Stoudamire is stockier he lacks the height to defend agaist point and shooting guards as well. Having two defensive liabilities in the back court is asking for trouble.
