History Week roundtable: ideal Celtics lineup

Design an ideal lineup of Celtics (not just an All-Time list, but the players that would compliment each other perfectly).

Jeremy Stevens: The Garnett-Era Celtics were nearly flawless, but you can always make adjustments to fit today’s league. A score-first point guard in Isaiah is essential. Bigs like Garnett and Horford who can pass the ball and stretch the floor are non-negotiable. From there, you can fill out the lineup whoever you want, and I think it’s more important for those pieces to co-exist with the point guard rather than the big men, so we have Eddie House as a designated catch-and-shoot guy with Tony Allen to pick up the slack on perimeter defense.
