A few pieces of paperwork remain, but just about everything else is in place for Jeff Green to return to Boston next year. Green agreed to a multiyear deal with the Celtics on Saturday, according to Gary Washburn of the Boston Globe. Green's agent, David Falk, said the contract will be official Wednesday, when teams are allowed to start officially signing players. "We've reached agreement in principal for him to return," Falk said. "You see a situation like Jeff's where there's a tremendous level of goodwill that been built up over the last year and half -- I've got a...

Looking at the photo above probably extracts an emotion from
you one way or another but to me, the photo above doesn’t mean much. The acquisition of Ray Allen for the

I completely understand why Ray Allen chose to sign with the Miami Heat.

He’s going to Miami, where he can play golf...

Surgery on Bradley's right shoulder, scheduled for Tuesday, may keep him sidelined into the beginning of next season, Celtics director of player personnel Austin Ainge said Sunday, as reported by ESPN. Bradley has already had surgery...
