The Celtics will likely match any deals offered to young forwards Glen Davis and Leon Powe who are both restricted free agents. Davis really stepped up this season when Kevin Garnett when down to injury and the Celtics should reward him for his effort. He played in 76 games (16 starts) for the [...]

Promises. Promises. Why teams make draft promises, I don't know. Especially when the consequences are such that a top player slips, and the team can't draft him because of said promise. Just ask Larry Brown, who says that, because of a draft promise, the 76ers had to pass on Paul Pierce in the 1998 draft. (http://dimemag.com/2009/06/nba-draft-promises-could-cost-you-the-next...

Over the past couple of weeks there has been a lot of trade chatter involving the Celtics. Most of this chatter is pure speculation, while the rest is coming from apparent "sources". While most of the rumors can be debunked as just that - rumors - I believe that it would be naive of any of us to think that Danny Ainge isn't at least kicking the tires a bit. After all...

I've stated a thousand times (now a thousand +1) that the Celtics need to maximize the size of their championship window. As it stands right now, they have two, maybe three years to realistically compete for a championship. So, I am going to play GM for a few minutes, and give you the trades that I would make between now and June 25th.

Tis the season for speculation. And while most of the speculation has focused on who 'Danny's guy' is in the draft (Rubio, Thabeet, Evans), if he indeed does trade up, I'm going to go a different route. Maybe the player Ainge covets isn't even in the draft. Maybe he's a player already in the league. A top-5 player, in fact. A player who is going to be part...
