    Default Build the Boston Celtics roster for the 2012-2013 season.

    Boston is the most obvious victim of the lockout shortened seasons so far. With Kevin Garnett and Ray Allen coming off the books this summer, Boston will have four people on contract (five if Bass' player option is exercised). I wouldn't be surprised if KG opts to retire, although it's yet to be seen.

    They can try and get Love or Howard, but that's a total pipe dream. Boston will have a lot of flexibility and will have to essentially build a roster from scratch again. Build a probable/realistic team for this team out of available free agents and players on contract.

    PG: Rajon Rondo/CJ Miles/Keyon Dooling/Avery Bradley
    SG: Leandro Barbosa/Ray Allen/E

    I'd rather make a run for OJ Mayo than Barbosa. I think Memphis may let him go unless nobody makes a high offer. I think Minny will match anything for Love and as a result let Beasley go.

    Adding Beasley and Mayo would be nice, but we still need a C.

    Default Re: Build the Boston Celtics roster for the 2012-2013 season.

    Step 1:
    Out - Kevin Garnett
    Out - Ray Allen
    Out - Jermaine O'Neal
    Out - Chris Wilcox
    Out - Mickael Pietrus
    Out - Marquis Daniels
    Out - Sasha Pavlovic
    Out - Keyon Dooling

    I'll let KG & Allen go elsewhere after a great standing ovation send-off by the fans in whatever may be the final game of the Celtics season. Jermaine O'Neal plans to retire anyways. The rest are role players who dont serve any purpose outside of helping the 2011-2012 team win a Championship.

    Keep - Rajon Rondo
    Keep - Brandon Bass(Assuming he exercises his Player Option)
    Keep - JaJuan Johnson
    Keep - E'Twaun Moore
    Keep - Avery Bradley
    Keep - Greg Steimsma


    Step 2:
    Trade Paul Pierce

    Boston: Dorrell Wright, & 2012 2nd Round Pick
    Golden State: Paul Pierce, & Cash considerations
    The best time to let Paul Pierce go out is with KG & Allen both leaving, instead of the embarrassment for Paul Pierce spending another year on a losing/rebuilding team before being waived on June 30, 2013 to avoid paying him his full salary for the 2013-2014 season.

    Golden State gets Pierce for 1 year in his hometown to help them compete in the Playoffs before they can waive Pierce and save $11 Million in cap space. Then he can decide to retire or go join another contender.

    Step 3:
    2012 NBA Draft

    Using http://www.draftexpress.com/nba-mock-draft/2012/

    #17 Pick - Draft SG Austin Rivers from Duke
    #24 Pick - Draft PF/SF CJ Leslie from NC State
    #47 Pick - Draft C Reggie Johnson from Miami

    Step 4:
    Cap Space: $36,148,804(Using 2011-2012 Salary Cap of $58.044 Million)

    Sign Nicolas Batum - 5 Years/$50 Million

    Cap Space: $26,148,804(Counting $10 Million spent on Batum)

    Sign Carlos Delfino - 1 Year/$6 Million

    Cap Space: $20,148,804(Counting $6 Million spent on Delfino)

    Sign Chris Douglas-Roberts - 1 Year/$3 Million

    Cap Space: $17,148,804(Counting $3 Million spent on CDR)

    Sign Sundiata Gaines - 1 Year/$3 Million

    Cap Space: $14,148,804(Counting $3 Million spent on Gaines)

    Sign Chris Kaman - 1 Year/$10 Million

    Cap Space: $4,148,804(Counting $10 Million spent on Kaman)

    Keep money prepared for 2013 Free Agent Class by handing out 1 year deals instead of wasting money signing players to longterm contracts just because you're under the cap.


    Step 5:

    Lineup:

    PG - Rondo/Gaines/Bradley
    SG - Rivers/CDR/Moore
    SF - Batum/Wright/Delfino
    PF - Bass/J Johnson/Leslie
    C - Kaman/Stiemsma/R Johnson

    Great opportunity for the young players to develop, tank for a Top 5 Pick, and have $30 Million in Cap Space to sign players in a better crop of Free Agents in 2013.

    No Pass Bass has to be the cornerstone. That is the best nickname ever!

    CJ Miles isn't a PG btw, being picky on your list.

    Rivers isn't going 17th in the draft either, really have a hard time seeing that.

    They just need to remember that it's 2013, not 2003, so get rid of all the old geezers (KG, O'Neil, Allen, etc.) except for Paul Pierce because of his BOS legacy.

    Ray Allen doesn't go on the bench, much less for THE prototypical 6th man in the league. Tho getting him for the bench is monstrous.

    Pretty sure the idea has been discussed a lot. And I'm sure even Doc has thrown the idea around.

    I know, I'm just going off of what DraftExpress projects.

    He'll probably go 8-14 in the Lottery.

    But I definetly see Boston trading up for him because he fits perfectly next to Rondo, regardless of the connection via his dad coaching the Celtics.

    -Move Bradley to d-league (a waste of roster spot)
    -Don't re-sign O'Neal and Daniels AGAIN! (Doc and Ainge tend to overrate this dude every pre-season)

    Seriously. It's as if they like having Daniels around because he tells neat stories or something... because the dude sure as hell doesn't bring anything whatsoever on the court.
