That could be but at least since they have had the big three they seem to have made an effort to stockpile good bigs.

Yeah, how can the Celtics afford West?

A source briefed on discussions Friday evening said that the Boston Celtics are close to a deal with free agent power forward David West, who has been with the New Orleans Hornets since being drafted in 2003.
West, 31, was expected to be one of the top free agents in this year’s class, but he is coming off of a torn ACL suffered late last season in a game against Utah. West has diligently rehabbed his injury in North Carolina last summer, but teams have been slow to make significant offers to him.

Didn't realize West was 31. Still, it's a good pickup even if West is just 80 percent of the player he was.

I think professional athlete at 31 can come back pretty much to full health within a year from ACL

Who needs David West when Michael Sweetney is available!

Don't know, but West/Sweetney were the same draft class

Wow, I thought this was a joke at first. This is a steal for the Celts.

From Wiki:

In early December 2011, Sweetney rejoined the Boston Celtics for training camp
