Interesting theory explained on The CMSB.  Here's one of the 4 reasons:How bad does Sheed look if he signs with another team for more money? Currently it sounds like the Spurs, Mavs, and Magic are in play (hat tip to Gary Tanguay's Twitter page). If he signs with San Antonio, it looks alright. If he signs with the other two for more money (or slightly more money), it looks like a money grab. If crazy Ron didn't go for the bigger pile of cash, why would 'Sheed? Also, he has played with Vince Carter before in college, do you really think he wants to do that again?Interesting thought.  Also interesting is the open letter to Danny Ainge on LOSCY regarding Leon PoweWhat is so risky about this? If you were willing to keep on Sam Cassell and Patrick O’Bryant at the start of the season, why not keep Leon? Get rid of Gabe Pruitt and give his roster spot to Leon. There is nothing that risky about this at all. For $800,000 y...

An open letter to Danny Ainge: why you messed up.

Via Hardwood Houdini  |  July 02, 2009
Feelings aside, it makes sense why you didn’t give an offer to Leon Powe, and allowed him to walk out of the Garden doors toward the path of free agency. Financially, you need to save every penny that you possibly can in order to chase down guys like ‘Sheed. Logistically, you need to save every [...]

Aging Celtics Grab Grumpy Fossil Rasheed Wallace

Via The Big Lead  |  July 06, 2009
Here’s how we sized Boston’s three biggest concerns this offseason: 1) Age, 2) Replacing/retaining FA’s Leon Powe and Big Baby Davis, and 3) The tattered Ainge-Rondo relationship. Is 1 out of 3 worth getting excited about? The Celtics have been unable to move Ray Allen. Ainge and Rondo need a counselor. To alleviate the potential loss [...]

Via FanHouse  |  July 05, 2009

Summer League Starts Today

Via Celtics Green ...a boston celtics blog.  |  July 06, 2009
In the midst of all the excitement of Sheed committing to the Celtics, don't forget that the Celtics Summer League Team will be in action in Orlando.

Ric Bucher says that Hedo did visit Portland, where a deal appeared all but certain, but ultimately decided that because Toronto was closer to his native Turkey, has a large Turkish population, and is a "cosmopolitan city"...

Via Spurs Dynasty  |  July 04, 2009
...the free agency carousel spins on.But first, a look back at the draft. I don't really follow college basketball closely, so outside of the top prospects, I have limited and uninformed opinions on the players being chosen. Especially in the second round, when the Spurs tend to select. So imagine my surprise when the Spurs drafted not one but two potential impact players in the...
