Gorman also said that everything he's heard from C's ownership and management that Paul Pierce is going nowhere and will retire as a Celticabout 4 hours ago via UberSocial for BlackBerryReplyRetweetFavorite@MrTrpleDouble10MrTripleDouble10Mike Gorman appeared on 98.5 The Sports Hub this morning and said he believes the Boston Celtics want Paul Pierce to remain a Celtic until the day he decides to retire. (Listen to the full audio here)“Everything I’ve heard from Celtic coaching staff and Celtic ownership — they really want to see Paul Pierce play his entire career as a Celtic. I get no indication the Celtics have shopped Paul seriously. Danny will talk about it, and that’s kind of his job as the guy who runs basketball operations,” Gorman said.My roommate and I had an argument the other night about the Paul Pierce dilemma. If the Celtics trade Pierce now, with two seasons remaining on his contract, they can compile further assets to rebuild around Rajon Rondo. If the Celti...

According to a recent report from NBA insider Alex Kennedy, the Boston Celtics might try and package their two first round draft picks to trade up for a higher pick. From Hoopsworld.com: The Celtics hold the twenty-first and twenty-second picks in the first round. However, league sources believe Boston will package the picks together to move up in the draft or trade away one of...

Ray Allen Remains in Limbo Until Market for His Services Is Set, Celtics Set Free Agent Plan

Ray Allen played more seasons in Milwaukee and as many seasons in Seattle as the five years he has spent in Boston, but by now the team he is most strongly associated with is the Celtics. Part of that has to do with winning a championship with the organization, but the way he embraced the franchise's history played a factor as well. Whether Allen remains in a Celtics uniform...

Your Morning Dump… where Perk thinks KG’s coming back to Boston

Every morning, we compile the links of the day and dump them here… highlighting the big storyline. Because there’s nothing quite as satisfying as a good morning dump. “I feel like if he does return to basketball, I think that that would be the team,’’ Perkins said of the Celtics. “I heard Kevin say a few times that he wouldn’t want to play for anybody but Doc, so...

Jeff Green's Return to Celtics Not a Certainty, As Other Teams Showing Interest, According to Agent

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. Green, who missed all of this season due to a serious heart condition, is on the comeback trail and will be available to any team when the NBA free agency period starts on July 1. While...

26 Years Ago Today

The sting never wears off.  The blow never lessens.  26 years ago today, the fate of our beloved Boston Celtics changed in an instant when Len Bias passed away.  Is it selfish of me to still have visions of Parish taking a baseline fall away that bounces high off the top of the rim only to be flushed down by a streaking Len Bias?  Or Larry Bird throwing an alley-oop from just...

Rajon Rondo Shows Off His New Boston Digs On Jimmy Kimmel Live

Ok, so you only get to see a very little bit of Rajon Rondo’s new house in Boston. But in a surprise appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live last night during Kimmel’s pre-NBA Finals show prior to game 4 between the Miami Heat and the Oklahoma City Thunder, Rondo seemed to open up a bit, something [...]

Celtics' Reported Targeting of Omer Asik Could Impact Kevin Garnett

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...

Celtics considering strong offer for Bulls center

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...

Many options lie ahead for Celtics in draft

With the NBA draft fast approaching (and the Celtics offseason starting earlier than most of us had expected/hoped for) it is time to take a look ahead at the offseason. This offseason figures to be one of the more interesting in recent memory, given the plethora of options available to the Celtics; the biggest of which being the decision to rebuild or to make one more push with...

Flip Saunders is Confident In Kevin Garnett’s Return To The Celtics

Flip Saunders knows Kevin Garnett almost as well as anybody in NBA circles. Saunders coached Garnett for a while back in KG’s Minnesota Timberwolves’ days. One would tend to believe then that when it comes to KG, anything that Saunders has to say about the future of the 14- time All-Star Forward/Center has got to [...]

Ainge: Garnett Considering Retirement

Danny Ainge shed some light on Kevin Garnett's impending free agency.

Metta World Peace claims Lakers would be in finals if he hadn't been suspended

This isn't directly related to the Celtics, but the basketball player currently known as Metta World Peace and formerly known as Ron Artest has recently been active on Twitter saying ridiculous things about James Harden and the Thunder. But his most recent delusional statement is that the Lakers would still be playing had he not had to serve a 7 game suspension for elbowing...

Flip Saunders is “positive” KG will return to the Celtics

Flip Saunders, who coached Kevin Garnett in Minnesota from 1995-2005, is pretty confident that KG will be back in Celtics green next season. Saunders worked as a consultant for Doc Rivers and the Celtics this postseason and told the Minneapolis StarTribune this weekend that he was ‘positive’ that Garnett would return to Boston for the 2012-2013 season. From the StarTrib: One...

Well, that was another year, wasn’t it? Through the hard work of management, the writers, and on-air personalities, CLNS Radio has evolved in the last twelve months, from a Boston Celtics-centric website to a final destination for Boston sports, and even all sports in general.  But no matter how much things change (and I imagine [...]
