All the contenders ~ CAVS, Magics, Lakers; have gotten great aquirements, and now the Celtics r getting 1 two. They still need a swingman, and a back-up point as well. I heard the Celts r after vet Grant Hill, and i think it would be kool getting him too.........maybe some1 a little bit younger would be nice too, but u can never have too many vets. I also think the Celts should let Marbury go and get a young back-up point. They should have gotten Tyrese Rice, he would have been perfect, but since he went undrafted, the Celts could sign him, savin them less cash$. He is both talented and a great passer. Or the Celts should trade some of the guys that were not good this year ~ like T.A., Pruitt, and Giddens. They STINK and getting rid of them clears up room on the roster, and saves some cash. Then use the $ to give Rondo, Allen, and Pierce extensions to avoid next year's free agency. Ohh!! but they should also resign both Big Baby & Leon. With these moves......this year's NBA Season would be crazy as ever !! And the Celtics WILL have Banner #18 hangin in the raptors :) Celts would be on the verge on having a very successful offseason if SHEED goes to the Celts.

If they CAN : Sign this summer Rasheed to be our back up center with their mid level money available. Sign Drew Gooden as thier back up power forward (instead of spending that money on a new contract for undersized Glen Davis) Sign either Marbury, Kidd Bigby as thier back up point guard with thier veteran minimum money. Sign Leon powe to a veteran minimum contract to add even more depth as our 3rd string insurance back up small and power forward. Play and develop Walker as thier back up small forward, Play and develop Pruit as our future back up point guard. Trade the expiring contracts of Scalabrine, Allen to get that money off thier books, That along with the signing of House will then give the celtics one of the best benches in the leauge next year and will also allow them to groom alot of younger players for future use. This way we have a great chance to win # 18 next year and prep for the future when the big gun vets retire The celtics already have the best starting 5 in the NBA.

He won't be getting as much time as he did on the Pistons so he probably won't be getting quite as many technicals, that's what Perkins is for. I also think that having 3 hall-of-fame veterans with him will calm him down. Rasheed isn’t exactly what they need but it doesn’t hurt them.

Or J-Kidd? All 3 seem like a better fit than Rasheed Malice I also agree that adding young players is the way to go - How would Ronnie Brewer look in a celts uni? Or a one year contract for a sean may The celts are in position to make a few robert swift-esque oddball pickups as they scour the waiver wires for the next Birdman How about Turkoglu or Ariza for the celts?

He will be MORE versatile if he comes off the bench, and if he does, will give the C's more point production, defense, and spread the floor for Boston's shooters. They will definetly be a contender and Ainge is makin good decisions & progress in the campaign for 2010 championship. But the main Qs ppl r going to want answers for is if he cooperates, skip the antics, leave his attitides, and earn his money right instead of gettin just a free ride for a RING!! But on the whole.......this is a good business move, hoping these negotiations go in a right direction....... I think SHEED works well wit the Celts.

He will be able to spell both KG and Perkins, which will be great as both of those guys are now injury-worries. He'll be a fantastic role player because he can stretch the floor and play defense. He'll get plenty of open looks too playing with guys like Pierce, Garnett and Rondo. I think this is a great move.
