Now that we have a season once again, it comes time to fill out the roster before the start of the season. Currently the Boston Celtics have 6 able bodies under contract (Garnett, Pierce, Allen, Rondo, Jermaine O’Neal, and Avery Bradley), 1 restricted free agent (Uncle Jeff) and 1 retired veteran (Sheed) who is still costing Wyc money. The Celtics have a total of $54,867,622 tied into the 6 able bodies and $66,267,129 if they hold onto Jeff Green. This means that the Celtics will need to find 5 or 6 bodies to start the up coming shortened season.
Two spots will be easy and cheap to fill in. The Celtics have to sign the draftees JaJuan Johnson and E’Twaun Moore from this past year’s 2011 NBA Draft. Both players are four-year college starters coming out of Purdue University.

Can I just say that it's great to actually talk about basketball instead of collective bargaining, BRI and other nonsense that myself and other hoops fans couldn't care less about? Thanksgiving weekend and work got in the way of me being able to write anything about this, but now that the lockout is (presumably) over it's time to talk about what the Celtics need to do...

For Celtics fans, the gravity of the situation is even greater. We thought we were about to lose the last season, the last run at banner 18 with this current group. Not anymore.
