Good trade. Every championship team needs a guard/wingman who can play defense and shoot the three. He might be this years version of James Posey for them.

Celts must be sending more junk to the Rockets because the salaries aren't matching. Maybe a pick is involved as well.

So are we going to act like Bosh wasnt missing games and Wade was healthy last season? Or that Miami didn't make moves this offseason? Lee is a good signing. But why would you be worried about the Heat? Shouldn't you be worried about your own team not getting raped in the 2nd round again?

Not solved yet on AB and Moore as the backup PG. Send Moore to D-League and get a veteran legit PG, someone who's not named Kenyon Dooling pls or bringing back Nate Robinson will be a good move as well.

Don't see why getting Dooling back would be a bad thing. At this point there aren't going to be many better options, and he's a seasoned vet who can play defense, handle the ball, and just spent the last year learning the system. I feel like his value in these last playoffs was very underrated especially by Celtic fans.

Doesn't Lee help stretch the floor a little more? Or does Avery being the superior slasher/defender keep him in the starting lineup? (when he returns?)

Lee is a better version of Bradley. He's also a good defender and has an offensive game compared to Bradley whose offensive game is not yet polished. Lee is a legit SG at 6'5 while AB is a combo guard at 6'2. Lee is going to start at the 2 and I'm seeing Doc bringing back AB to 1 backing up Rajon.

Great acquisition by the Celtics, not so much for the Rockets.

I remember watching a 4th quarter vs the Celtics and Courtney Lee was defending Pierce who just got the inbound, and he forced Pierce into an 8 second violation :applause: How many people can say that? Dude is sick.

Also him vs OKC and Spurs this year:

Dude is terrible at setting up plays. Always commits undisciplined foul just like his partner Pietrus. He can shoot the 3 ball and slash on the basket occasionally but that's all about him.

So Pietrus and Dooling are officially out or..?

Amazing how flexible Boston became once Ray and KG's contracts came off the books (in KG's case, was spilt in half).

What a contrast to the mockery of front offices the likes of the Knicks, Raptors, and Magic "boast."

Anyone who doesn't believe in the tangibles behind an organization's "winning culture" need only observe the first few weeks of this off-season.

No matter the CBA, smart organizations like the Celtics, Lakers, Spurs, ect will continue to prosper because they make great decisions, while a vast majority of the organizations make poor ones.

Don't really get the point of the video, other than the fact that he has a slow release. :lol

Unfortunately no matter who is in there running the show whenever Rondo is out, the offense is going to take a step back. Jet and AB aren't playmakers and neither make their teammates much better. It's okay to put these guys as the second string PG on paper but imo I'd rather have Dooling as the Backup PG and then let Terry, Bradley get minutes at the 2, with Lee also getting time there and at the 3 spot. That or they need to get a pointguard who can actually run sets efficiently, but at this point I'm not sure who would be available and the Celtics' budget is looking pretty tight.

He did not play the 1, he played the 3 in a point forward role... Meaning a 1 will still play the 1 but pierce was the distributor on a lot of occasions. He will defend 3's and be defended by 3's, that makes him a 3 not a 1 if you're confused.

lol @ you thinking jeff green will only play 20 min a night while being paid 10 million a year :coleman: :biggums:
Being paid 9 million. And if 20 min its what doc wants then yes, the deal is still terrible. Stop trying to tell us how our team is going to be run and look at the mess of a team you cheer for

I'd like to see Boston offer that Jonathan Gibson kid a roster spot.

PG: Rondo/Terry/Gibson
SG: Bradley/Lee/Terry
SF: Pierce/Green
PF: Garnett/Bass/Sullinger
C: Wilcox/Garnett/Melo

A lot of Bass and Green at the 4 with KG at the 5 stuff, too.

HOW HOW HOW do you guys keep reloading like this? Every damn year the Big Three loses a step/half a step and you go out and sign these stud players and draft these overlooked immediate contributors. Ainge has got to be the most underrated GM in the league.

Losing Ray and KG signing for less than his previous contract freed up a lot of cash. Terry signing for the MLE was a nice addition too. But, yeah... Ainge has outdone himself this off-season. He usually makes some pretty 'eh' choices when toying with the roster (bringing back Marquis Daniels sticks out in my mind) but he's really worked the phones and put together a nice group.

Sullinger dropping to Boston in the draft is going to be one of those "can you believe that actually happened?" moments in the NBA in a few years.

Yeah, realistically there are few guys on the summer league I wouldn't be thrilled to see get roster spots when the season begins. Christmas, Gibson and - to a lesser extent - Lasme have been doing great.

Good signing

Rondo/Terry
Bradley/Lee
Pierce/Green
Bass/Sullinger
KG/Wilcox/Melo

Solid depth. I am still not sold on Bass being the starter. Hopefully Sullinger will play like a top 10 pick!

Think he's a little confused on what a point-forward is.

Actually he didn't know what the hell is he talking about.

I even clear to him that we're talking about 1 as the PG and not any other positions.


wtf? are you really thinking that PP is playing the 1? we mean as the PG?

:roll: :roll:

Will make you wonder how stupid that 8000+ posts are. :oldlol: :oldlol:

I'd love for KG to sacrifice himself for the team and play the 5 for us
