"The Last of a Dying Breed" 2012 Celtics Offseason Thread

[Saysumthinfunnymike]

We desperately need to get younger and faster. I love the way Bradley and Rondo play together.. Bradley needs to start. I think Ray is almost certainly done here.

I really wouldn't mind bringing Bass back. He doesn't have great hands and he makes some mental mistakes but his jumper is solid and he works hard. He always finds a way to score around the basket. He can still fit right in as the starting PF

Jeff Green is unrestricted but has expressed interest in returning to Celtics

I don't think he will get any big money offers

if he's healthy he might.

 

[fact]

Im pretty sure in the last 4 minutes of game 6 the Celtics fans sured up KG coming back for 1 more year or retiring maybe Ray too, after that I don't see a veteran of this league that was on that bench and plays for Doc wanting to go anywhere else. Powerful.

 

[Kang Deezy]

I don't doubt KG resigns I'm just concerned about how much money he will demand

Hopefully Duncan takes a huge pay cut and KG will follow suit

 

[Listen]

Ive been stating for months how badly i think we need to put that call into Humpries. Hes the perfect 4 for thisteam moving forward.

In the paint boards on both ends and will run with Rondo.

Kevin is definitly coming back to stay at the 5. I imagine NJ with throw 3 years at him but hell come back for a one year and an option to stay in Green with Doc.

 

[Kang Deezy]

So resign KG

Bring back Green

Bass sounds like he's going to use his player option

Wilcox, Williams, Marquis, Steimsma, Pietrus, Hollins, Dooling... Any of them worth keeping?

I really hope KG does no more than 10 million a year.

What about Ray? I wouldn't mind replacing him with Randy Foye

 

[Kang Deezy]

How do you guy feel about Randy Foye as a cheap Ray Allen replacement if he leaves?

I do think we should bring Dooling back.

check out this article on where the Celtics go from now:
Where do the Celtics go from here? -
The C's should try to get OJ Mayo, Carl Landry wouldn't be bad, and re-sign Green and does Bass have a player option? And they need to re-sign KG ASAP

Keep Dooling, Wilcox

Steimsma and Pietrus wouldnt bother me to keep them, Steimsma has alot of upside imo

Marquis & Williams can go, dont really care

fukk Ryan Hollins, dude was hot garbage his whole time here



we will have alot of cap room next season so Im expecting big things

Yea dump Hollins sign Sean Williams to a one year deal, he basically gives the same as Hollins but is a better basketball player.

 

[Kang Deezy]

So...

Rondo / Dooling
Bradley / Moore
Pierce / Green
Bass / Jajuan
KG / Wilcox / Steimsma

That'd put us at 11, we have 3 draft picks...

We'd only have one roster spot with all that cap space...

I'd say that means Dooling and/or Wilcox are gone.

 

[Kang Deezy]

I am starting to think OJ Mayo is a bad idea.

I'd rather do Randy Foye on a much smaller deal and get similar production for probably at least $30-40 million less.

Humphries is seeming like a huge need for us. Ilyasova is a good idea too.

That 2nd round pick needs to be a overseas stash player.

I actually have you guys drafting a project C, mainly because I'm unsure the C's would like to retain Stiemsma who I can see getting lots of interest as a backup big for other teams, and if Danny Ainge stays true to form, he'll go out and draft a four year senior from a good school that fills a need and can contribute immediately. Going back to 2004, he's drafted one stash away player in round 2 and that was Semih Erden in 2008 with the last pick of the draft.

Fab Melo?

Fab Melo?

very possible. Makes too much sense.
