Celtics fans: Greg Oden OR KG + Ray Allen?

[Poseidon]

Had Boston landed the 1st pick, they would have selected Greg Oden.

Now Boston managed to mortage their future for KG and Ray Allen and the chance to win immediately.

IF you (Boston fans) had the option....would you rather have the #1 pick (Greg Oden) and kept Al Jefferson + Pierce or would you rather have this current roster w/ KG, Allen and Pierce?

Oden
Jefferson
Gomes
Pierce
Rondo


Perkins
Garnett
Pierce
Allen
Rondo

[Fudge]

Obviously KG and Ray.

Obviously KG and Ray.

Is that a joke...or serious...Id take Oden and Im not even a fan of Oden...

The window is so much bigger...and you will pro have the sickest front court in the league in 3 years...

We still don't know how Oden is going to turn out... As crazy as it sounds, I'd take KG and Allen.

Great. Fine with me if you wanna go out on a limb and call it the "sickest" front court in the league in "3" years. Judging his freaking credentials in OSU? Guy hasn't played a single NBA game yet to further notify.

Fine with me, considering in that 3 year span you've predicted, Garnett and Allen could basically get you a ring while Oden's still working on that hookshot of his.

I'd take KG and Allen. I expect Boston to win a ship with this roster and if they don't, it will be one of the biggest dissapointements in sports history.

Im not going to sit here and defend Oden..I really hate his game and think he is overrated..But it is hard to find defensive players like him in today's era..And from what I hear Jefferson is a good pf too...

Trade Pierce for salary cap relief and sign another young buck and build a window where you can compete for titles for 7-8 years instead of just 2 years because they arent winning one next year..

I'm with you bud.

I'm also sick of people comparing KG, PP and Ray to Houston's old man trio of Hakeem, Chuck and Clyde.

Our guys are all in their primes, those Houston guys were all past theirs.

If you get Oden, you trade Pierce. Oden and to an extent jefferson are a couple of years away from developing.

[Good Old Willy]

Good question. Instant answer was "obviously oden" because of the championship building that would go on, and the chance of titles for years sometime in the future. However, sometimes you gotta role the dice, which the celts did, and they have a narrow window to win it all with garnett

That said, there are 5 or more teams ahead of the celts still, so....

[gibbo3000]

if it was just oden versus garnett and allen
i'd take the latter

but when you have to give up basicly your whole team, except pierce, for allen and garnett i'd prefer to have gotten the number one pick

don't forget tehy lost delonte west and wally z for allen, so west would have started at the point

so really
gomes
green
ratliff
jefferson
telfair
wally z
west
oden

or

garnett
allen

[Qwyjibo]

Oden + Jefferson + return value of trading Pierce = one helluva great long-term team.

[Agent_Zero]

Obviously KG and Ray.

Easily Oden. Al Jeff and Oden in the frontline would've been maybe the best frontline in the EAst by the 08 season. Even if Oden don't turn out to be a player on KGs level or a superstar at all, he'll definately be atleast an occasional allstar level talent. And with all the young talent they have in Rondo/Green/Gomes/Allen to go along with Pierce then they could've been really good.
