2012-13 Boston Celtics
So it looks like we lost the post so I'll start it again. Without re-hashing what has already been discussed, I'll start with the news that Boston has reportedly promised to take Iowa State F Royce...

Terrific deal. JJJ wasn't going to get the minutes he needed to develop, and Sullinger had passed him on the depth chart. Moore showed flashes, but players with his skills are a dime a dozen. It would...

I'm not sure we can use the whole bi-annual thought (admittedly, I'm not quite clear on this). But if the estimates for our signings this off-season are correct (KG $11m, Bass $6.5m, Terry $5m, Green...

The Celtics can spend up to $74.3 million and keep the full mid-level, but it has to be below that. They have 3 roster spots left to fill out, so essentially all they have to offer is veteran minimum...

Okay, I thought I had remembered that number (when talk about the Teletovic original signing made it impossible for BRK to get Howard) but when they release the 70.3 threshold, I thought they had...

So I gotta believe Christmas gets a shot at the roster. Then you are talking about another big and, maybe, Dooling for the other 2 spots. That being said, I feel Boston often likes their roster at 14...

With the following projected depth chart (PG: Rondo; SG: Lee, Terry, Bradley; SF: Pierce, Green, Joseph; PF: Bass, Sullinger;C: Garnett, Wilcox, Melo), the team has three roster spots and only two...

Some other intriguing big men that are out there (and by intriguing, I mean incredibly flawed but has some sort of redeeming quality that could serve the Celtics well): Ben Wallace Kenyon Martin...

Celtics reportedly sign Jason Collins. He's a nonentity on offense but a surprisingly pesky defender, both in the post and on pick-and-rolls. Not a guy with any upside, and getting to the age where...

So hopefully we can get Dooling on the minimum ($1.4M, 854K of it on the C's books) and save the Bi-Annual for either later this year or next year). That'd be a pretty decent offseason.

This is really the basketball equivalent of alchemy, as far as I'm concerned. By far the best bench of the Garnett era, although I had high hopes about the 2010 bench too (Shaq, Delonte West, Nate...

Injuries, plus a lot of those guys had...um...we'll just say "too much personality." Pierce mentioned several times last season how much more professional the team was last season (especially the guys...

True, but I also remember reading that all the big personalities were going to loosen up the team (especially KG and Ray) and keep things light in the clubhouse, which was supposed to be a huge...

I don't mean to imply that they were cancers or anything - none of those guys were ever reportedly an issue in the locker room. But I think some of them (namely Big Baby and Nate Robinson) struggled...

Jeff Green is not a 3, that's my main issue. I hope he can become a 3 in the way Millsap became last year, but he's pretty much the tweener. I mean, if he doesn't become a solid 3 we're still a title...

Jeff Green's stats playing the 3 are almost uniformly better than his stats playing the 4, especially defensively (see, for instance, Read More

I'm not sold on him defending 3s, maybe he'll prove me wrong. He's solid off the bench, I just wouldn't give him the starting job once Pierce walks away into the sunset.
