The Boston Celtics have filled one of their holes on the roster with an apparent trade with the Milwaukee Bucks. ESPN Boston is reporting that the agent for Keyon Dooling has made it clear the Celtics acquired the veteran point guard for a future second round pick. However, Dooling can play both guard positions. The six foot three guard has been a solid contributor off the bench averaging seven points a game. Dooling has a solid outside shot and can stretch the floor. His defense is also solid having played for the demanding Scott Skiles. However, with the Celtics landing Dooling, does this means the team is not going to make a push for Delonte West? The answer is no. Dooling is a shoot first guard that is better equipped to play shooting guard in the NBA. The Celtics need a backup for Ray Allen. Dooling could fill valuable minutes in that role of stretching the floor off the bench for Ray’s rest. West is also far better at the point guard slot and Boston needs a solid option to li...

CP3 will be a Laker, Celtics go back to the drawing board

What a whirlwind day it has been in the NBA! I must give a shout out to Biz Stone for inventing Twitter for if not for this social media masterpiece I would not have had the day I had today. Everybody knows by now that Danny Ainge has been on the phone 24/7 with New [...]

Boston Celtics Danny Ainge Is Trying To Get Involved in Warriors, Clippers, And Hornets Talks For Chris Paul

The New Orleans Hornets are going to deal Chris Paul. The indications are that they will deal him on Friday because they do not want a Carmelo Anthony type situation. The rumors are that they want the Warriors Stephan Curry and the Clippers Eric Gordon. Boston lusts after Paul.

Holy Batguano!

Alright, everyone who had two or more of Keyon Dooling, Brandon Bass, Chris Wilcox, Greg Stiemsma, and David West on their prospective Celtics roster raise their hand. Thought so. Danny Ainge has not only gone beyond, beside, under, and over the box, but I’m not at all sure he even knows there is a box. I had over thirty players on my possibilities list and the only one of those...

New York Post: How many believe a reporter fantasized the threesome involving the Celtics, Hornets and Pacers, whose $23 million in cap space make them a critically desirable partner? Well, according to one pretty piped-in informer, it was a done deal until CP3 Knixed it by refusing to sign an extension. If nothing else, if true, this tells us that Danny Ainge atleast tried to trade...

Boston Celtics Danny Ainge Fills Another Need: Glen Davis Is Sent To Orlando For Brandon Bass

The Glen Davis saga is officially over in Boston. The talented undersized forward has been sent to Orlando for Magic power forward Brandon Bass. The move makes sense for both teams. Despite the fact that Davis had big shot capability, he provided too many headaches for Boston. Davis had issues with his role in Boston and fought with Doc Rivers way too much. Davis wanted to start...

Your Move, Danny.

Fine, I’ll write about it. I will write about how ridiculous this “CP3” mega-rumor is. When word got out that Danny Ainge was open to trading Rajon Rondo in exchange for Chris Paul the fanbase of the Boston Celtics had plenty to be excited about. We all love Rondo and also agree that he is a detriment offensively. It remains to be seen with hands and arms too long for his build...

This photo is why Danny is willing to gamble on Chris Paul

You know what they say about pictures.  We know what they're worth.  And for Celtics fans, this photo might best encapsulate why Danny Ainge is willing to trade away Rajon Rondo for Chris Paul, and risk Paul playing no more than a year in Boston.  Doc Rivers, shortly after winning the Celtics 17th championship in franchise history, retreated to his office in the TD Garden...
