  yeah, this is always confusing as sources, the credible ones like the 24 hour ESPNews channel, Globe, et. al., where I saw "Maggette considering Celtic offer" on bottom line(ESPNews), along with downed sprinter and Venus win over and over again Friday night/Saturday morning...I trust it's true, but time has to pass at this point...Anderson, know the Hornets want to keep him, but another C's option...going to be nearly impossible, but want Magette and Posey, then all done and FO can chill for 08-09...the only reservation I have about Anderson is the substance abuse past, but he can play...solid FA crop this year...Magette and Posey would be the solution for me, or one of the two with....aargh!!, I just want the C's to cement roster for repeat...FA period in sports: one of the most frustrating issues to deal with as a fan...and look at the Sixers go!, making a strong prelude to courting Smith, Childress too name a few...that rivalry could be completely back next year

  I think this is going to be a relatively slow offseason for the Celtics. They'll miss on Maggette, without doubt, and they'll probably re-sign Posey because they're giving him years. However, the real question remains as to whether they can find the right vets (backup point and center).

    Pruitt supposedly could be that backup PG, and Chris Anderson could be that Perk backup, the modest scenario you breakdown...Yup, who knows much if anything, until they can officially ink on Wendnesday on...CM?, it comes down to what he covets most, financial security/family/area or joining those dudes in green, in really not a bad city, for real, for one-two more runs...speculation is fun oh yes, but patience rules the day with FA...one of the four mentioned by 510the I'd be happy with as well, or 2 of 4 as I fantasize and ignore the salary cap and looming luxury tax, but team will get someone very solid for 4 or 5...good post as usual ODen

  I hear ya YanksFan, always the first reaction and last for a lot of fans from both cities...living about 45 minutes from Boston, I have friends/family here and NYC/Jersey that are Yankees fans, Giants fans, Rangers Fans, Mets fans, and Me: devoted to all Boston teams, and I could care less about all the hate/hype that is in rare form lately, between NYC-BOS, this year, regarding sports/people...both cities have had the ups and downs with championships/sagas/controversies with all two city's teams combined...I can't speak for most Boston fans, just the ones I know, but we're enjoying the good times now while it lasts and really, today, have no ill will against the Yankees(still, the supreme rival oh teah), NYC, or any of the other 7 teams...I used to hate NYC's and other cities teams plenty, but said to myself "real life is major full of hate now in 08', i.e. the economy, the wars, gas prices, the grouchy NEast, on and on"...I decided I don't have time, for the add-on the crap pile with the extra sports-related hatred right now...still jabber at times, for sure, as it adds the spice to threads when warranted via personal attack or those occasional idiotic comments we all steam over, but laugh at as well...I will always sometimes banter as all do on here, but also, as much as possible!, see down the middle...sorry for the ramble all, but most of us can make good/bad/average points without the personal attack crap(where we are from,etc.)...we'll all kill ourselves via stress heart attacks by living vicariously through who we root for...too much extra sauce on the "life sandwich"....The C's will get someone solid...and yes, it will be an amped up week to see who goes where...bottom line for NYC peeps, we welcome people from there to visit Cape Cod, Newport, Boston, Maine, wherever...man, sorry again for the over-analysis and diplomatic spew, but that's me as a fan in the present...today, july 8th...probably will put half da yard asleep after that post...ha

  yanksfan34,
  Oh and uh so where are the yankees? Ha ha right they are behind Boston. And the Knicks? They went really far last year. Besides the New York Giants... I don't see what New York has going for them.
  On another note: I hope the celtics resign Posey

    Posey would solve my concerns going into 08'-09'...two in a row, if motivated, great odds...and once again. Maggette would be oh so nice...curious, why not make a stong pitch to J.Smith as he killed C's in first round...ah, just crankin the fantasy outcome...C's get has game Big man=Ray as the sixth man of year...something that's been on my mind since...and yeah Greenwith, Giants are my most-liked NY team, then the Knicks
