Brandon Bass will opt out, explore free agency

Boston Celtics' Brandon Bass to opt out of final year, become unrestricted free agent - ESPN Boston

Should we pay him or let him walk?

I say pay him.

Rondo and Ray Allen not getting along?

They always got into it.​

Depends... I'm probably giving him no more than like 3 years 12 million tops

It all depends on the market. He's a hard worker, has a solid jumper and finds ways to score around the bucket but his hands are suspect and he makes a lot of mental mistakes. He's a quality forward but not worth a ton.

Bass is good at 3 years for 12 mil, when stuff got physical in the Mia series he was Mia...

We got Jared Sullinger and Fab Melo last night

I don't watch much college ball so I don't know much about them , thoughts?

Both are kinda high risk, high reward players, I hope at least one of them works out.

I think the Celtics had the best draft outside of New Orleans. Sullinger was considered a #1 overall pick just last year. If he can get his back in check, he will be the biggest steal in the draft. Fab Melo is raw talent. He's got the size but needs to learn to play the game more. I feel he can be a huge help down low similar to Perk. With a lot of practice, he may actually have really nice offensive weapons.

Nice starting 5 with solid rotational players.

Rondo/Dooling
Bradley/Allen
Pierce/Peitrus
Sullinger/Bass/JJ
KG/Melo/Stiesma

If we can get KG and Ray back for a year, we have a solid chance to win. We were only a few bigs away from the finals this year

 

[Saysumthinfunnymike]

Yeah - Melo and Sullinger.. neither are locks obviously but the potential is there and we were weak as fukk down low every time KG left the court for a breather. Hopefully one of them can work out.

 

[Broke Wave]

Celtics raped the draft, have avery bradley and Rondo.



I hate you nikkas

Think KG comes back... If not Ray, we'll get either Jamal Crawford or OJ Mayo... and don't forget Jeff Green. Sullinger pick was genius.



And I don't mind Joseph either, think he'll be a decent pick. And if Jajuan makes a leap like Avery did in his second year, watch out!

Garnett back? 3 years 34 million?

its official

I guess the next stop is to figure out situation with Bass and Green

If Ray doesn't come back, we are looking at Crawford, Mayo, and Jason Terry
