As good as getting Oden defensively

The biggest factor in the C's winning big, isn't that we have 3 allstar
scorers, it's that one of them is a 7'1" jumping jack with long arms, a
work ethic (and the Ref's respect) on D.  The C's defense for the next
few years, is as much improved as if we got Oden!

So now when we need a string of stops, Doc could sub out RayAllen for
hopefully healthy Tony, and for the first time in his career Paul is
surrounded by four defensive stoppers.  On paper, Perk/KG/Paul/TA/Rondo
can defend like the Spurs/Bulls for a stretch of time.  I agree on now
trying to get a vet toughguy shooter PG, like
Delonte,ChrisDuhon,AnthonyJohnson.

On the other recent trade, is anyone else now overjoyed that Ainge got
Ray Allen this year instead of FIRST choice Iverson last year.  The two
SG's are the same age, but AI is smaller, has an ISO style that doesn't
compliment Truth/KG, has taken more of a beating over the years, and
will lose you games as a low %, high volume shooter.
