One of the things Kenny Anderson gives us is an experienced point that will also let us use our increasingly higher! draft picks to get a PG that we can groom and "bring up right" as his backup. I assume over the next 2-4 years we could find a gem in the 15-25 range.

Celtics definitely do not need a small forward. With Pitino wanting to
play Toine there (thats the way it looks bringing in a power forward
rebounder if he gets healthy next season and is re-signed) and will have
Walter McCarty, Bruce Bowen, Dontae Jones and Greg Minor as backups, I
see no reason to upgrade the position.
