Oden

[keltsfan]

 Steve,

My dream draft would be to acquire both Oden and Julian Wright without
having to give up any of Jefferson, Rondo and Green.  If Ainge could pull
that off....

That said, I think B. Wright is more Bosh-like than Williams-like (not to
say that Williams isn't going to be a pretty good player after it's all said
and done). I'm not a fan of Noah and would be very disappointed if Ainge
drafted him #3. While I like J. Wright, adding him to a roster that
currently includes Pierce, Sczcerbiak, Gomes, Allen, and Green doesn't do
much for the team unless Ainge trades away some of the redundancy for a
really good big. 

All in all, there are really good options for Ainge this offseason.  Just
hope the VP and his bosses have the courage to be bold and strike so that
all of us fans can finally rejoice in the knowledge that a Banner #17 might
ACTUALLY happen.  

Being bold results in championships.  Being meek results in mediocrity. 

Ravi
