Jeff Green’s agent, David Falk, says his client is “100 percent,” fielding interest from 12-14 teams, and the second-best unrestricted free agent on the market. He said Green would return from heart surgery “better than ever” and isn’t committed to re-signing with the Boston Celtics, though they currently rest atop his list.I’ve never met Falk personally, but I imagine he would put forth a valiant effort trying to sell ice in the winter or fire in hell. (Sports Illustrated)“With the possible exception of (Brooklyn point guard) Deron Williams, I think that Jeff will probably be the No. 1 unrestricted free agent on the market,” Falk said. “It’s not like we have LeBron (James) and (Dwyane) Wade and all these guys floating around.“I’d be very surprised if Deron Williams winds up anywhere besides Dallas or New Jersey (Brooklyn). So the next guy in the pecking order is Jeff Green.”“I know that (the Celtics) want Jeff to come back, from (general manager) Danny (Ainge) to the owners to

When the Celtics traded for Jeff Green, they were operating under the assumption that he'd become a big part of their future plans. He still might, but it may take some work to keep him in Boston.

It’s been over a week since I came to the conclusion that Kevin Garnett would retire after this season. I was convinced of it immediately after watching KG answer a question from ESPN’s Doris Burke after the Celtics beat the Miami Heat in game 5 of the NBA Eastern Conference Finals.
Burke asked KG what fuels him after 17 years in the league. KG said “competition”, then...

Celtics' Reported Targeting of Omer Asik Could Impact Kevin Garnett

June 18, 2012
Kevin Garnett spent the second half of this season reminding everyone who asked that he does not like being a center. He fancies himself a forward, and no amount of praise for his play at the pivot is likely to change his opinion soon. The good news for Garnett is, he does not have to be a center anymore if he does not want to. The unrestricted free agent is believed to want to return...

IAMGM:
According to Sam Smith from Bulls.com:
The Celtics are one the teams said to be considering a strong offer to Bulls center Omer Asik. The thinking is it might help them retain Kevin Garnett, who though playing very well at center the second half of the season doesn’t want to return as a center.
Asik would definitely be a great add, but I'd prefer him coming off of the...
