Despite being limited to veteran’s minimum offers, the Boston Celtics are reportedly still involved in discussions with free agent rebounder Reggie Evans. (Boston Globe)The Celtics remain in the running for free-agent forward Reggie Evans but they only have the veteran minimum to offer. Evans is seeking a multiyear deal.I hate being realistic, but the veteran’s minimum probably won’t be enough to lure Evans to Boston. In fact, after Kwame Brown signed for $7 million yesterday to establish the market, the Celtics are going to be hard-pressed to find any big man using just the veteran’s minimum.In the most likely scenario, Kevin Garnett will play more center than ever before, Brandon Bass and Chris Wilcox will slide into the pivot position every once in a while and Jermaine O’Neal will man the middle whenever he’s physically able to play (don’t hold your breath).

Over the course of the NBA lockout– and the protracted off-season that resulted from it– Boston Celtics point guard Rajon Rondo was the target of more than a few trade rumors.
It was clear that Boston was content in looking to shop Rondo around for the best possible offer in return. What wasn’t as clear was why the Celtics were willing to shop a player may consider...

I believed the Celtics and took their injury explanation for Jeff Green at face value.
I know. Stupid, stupid, stupid. I actually believed Danny Ainge when he said that it was pretty much nothing and...

Jeff Green missed another practice today. According to the Globe's Gary Washburn, Doc Rivers believes the situation is a big concern.
It didn't appear to be a big deal yesterday when Green said that he does not have a heart condition and speculated fatigue was to blame. Danny Ainge said the Celtics were just being overly cautious.
