2013, The Celtics Rebuilt

WING SCORER needed, apply inside 

I think a smart, underrated move would be to extend William Buford a rookie FA deal, at least to get him in summer league and see if the stroke carries over to the NBA. That could be a bench shooter right there to plug in with Rondo and Bradley on the second line that gives them a dead eye shooter. 

BoooYaaaaa

I was surprised Buford went undrafted...............

What are you so happy about Logic?

Logic just found out Rashard Lewis got bought out and he thinks he would do wonders for the Celtics.  That is the only thing I can think of.

im gunna guess logic agrees with the undrafted guy...

I was surprised Buford went undrafted...............

Him, Machado and the kid from New Mexico.... thought they all deserved to go over some of the guys taken mid to late 2nd round

BooYaa hawk, your a winner

Cain, he has to be getting numerous offers as a undrafted free agent......maybe this kid should find a way to hold off signing for a few weeks andlet the bidders come.  A team like LA should be lookin at him

ive truthfully never heard of him what the low down on him?

Bufford could be a solid bench player in the NBA.  He went through all 4 years at OSU and probably should have left after his junior year.  He isn't the most athletic player but he is an all around solid player.  He can hit the mid-range but his 3 point shooting was a little off last year (36% or so) down from the low 40s the year before.  He took a back seat to the "Big 3" of OSU and let the game come to him, a little too complacent at times. 

i stopped reading at the part where he said the Paul Pierce era. hahahahahahaha paul pierce era.

Agreed... I think he will get quite a few calls and invites.... Now just a matter of where to go? 

The guy the Lakers need to take a good look at is Scott Machado. I dont care what they say about speed, the kid can play PG at this level, and I think he could be a good one. Someone has to give him a chance in my mind.  

Machado should get an invite to the Cavs camp.

I've heard that OJ Mayo is out of the Celtics price range, which for me would indicate that the Celtics should try getting Lou Williams. Doc and Danny both seem to think that Allen is a lock for coming back to boston. In the end i wouldn't mind having him back but ray seems to want a long term deal 2+ years... So he doesn't deal with the stressors of being trade bait in march. I wonder if etwan Moore will step in and start getting more minutes as a backup point guard

Kevin Garnett, Greg Stiemsma, Fab Melo
Brandon Bass, Jared Sullinger, JaJuan Johnson
Paul Pierce, Jeff Green, Kris Joseph
Ray Allen, Avery Bradley
Rajon Rondo, Jason Terry, Etwan Moore

How about this lineup for a title?  Word.

I think you do whatever you need to within reason to keep steimsma... two 7 foot shot blockers for the future is never a bad deal.

I thought Bass was good but he is expendable, I would try and move him for Bass even if you resign allen. If we win it all couldnt you see Ray and Garnett and even maybe pierce just calling it a career. Or how about if Bradley or Ray get hurt, there needs to be more than 3 capable wing players.

Sign n trade Bass for mayo. Get it done

Also if we have room after the wheeling and dealing i would love Chris Kaman. Melo probably wont be ready to start for at least two years and Kaman is a good rebounder and can score. Camby is too old and gets hurt. then again he is a Umass boy

I would love to see a team like this

Rondo/Dooling/Moore
Bradley/Ray/Mayo
Pierce/Green/ peitrus/Joseph
KG/Sullinger/johnson
Kaman/Melo/Steamer

my vote would be to get rid of moore from that group. Dooling seemed to have a big impact on rondo and lets be honest backup combo gaurds are a dime a dozen, they can pick up one next year in the draft.

If no money for Kaman I keep moore or bring back wilcox.

Mayo is the wya to go

Rock you really want ray starting??

Kevin Garnett, Greg Stiemsma, Fab Melo
Brandon Bass, Jared Sullinger, JaJuan Johnson
Paul Pierce, Jeff Green, Kris Joseph
Ray Allen, Avery Bradley
Rajon Rondo, Jason Terry, Etwan Moore


Crotch, Hawk

I think Joseph ends up in Portland as part of Danny's D League dev plan.  That keeps the roster at 13.

I would love Terry, a perfect fit in Boston which promotes defense first.

They have about $18M??? to sign FA's plus the mid cap.....and they can play with the rules as Bass and Ray would be past Celtics.

Sign Terry, Bass, Ray and Jeff

OK, but is Dooling worth keeping?

I just reread the new CBA rules.  My bad. They roster 12 but can keep 3 players on the inactive list, even if in the development league, and they can use them game to game depending on injuries to the first 12.

This CBA changes a boat load of things, and having young players who may be just on the cusp is not a big issue anymore.

Interesting times for building a roster and developing kids 

Mouse, I saw that too.  I dont know anything about him (machado) but he seems to be getting lots of press
