An update of some of the key cogs from the 12 win season:Two weeks into the NBA season, the free agents from last season's disastrous 12-70 team are still having difficulty finding work. Josh Boone, fed up with tryouts and promises in the US, has joined the Zhejiang Whirlwinds of the Chinese Basketball Association, where he doesn't expect to stay for long. Bobby Simmons...

Tony Gaffney's my choice for that 15th spot. Seems like every day we get news of someone else that Danny is working out. Adam Morrison has been in for a couple of workouts. KG's former teammates Trenton Hassell and Rashad McCants have been in for workouts. Cuttino Mobley has been in for workouts. Mario West is reportedly coming by to work out for the club. Danny...

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. The evaluation process rolls on, and expect more bodies to shuttle in and out of the Sports Authority Training Center as the Celtics look to build the best all-around 15-man roster. Ainge hesitated...

Posted in TextSaw this bit on ESPN.com: “Besides Adam Morrison, who we noted is working out for the Celtics this week, Adrian Wojnarowski of Yahoo! Sports also added via Twitter on Wednesday that the team has worked out Cuttino Mobley, Rashad McCants and Trenton Hassell in the last two days. “Cuttino Mobley retired from Knicks 22 months ago with a serious heart condition...

Interesting piece of news today regarding the Celtics and a few NBA free agents. According to Adrian Wojnarowski’s Twitter, the Celtics have recently held workouts for Adam Morrison, Rashad McCants, Cuttino Mobley, and Trenton Hassell: Some intriguing names on that list.  I assumed we already had too many players under contract in the first place, but I like what Danny is doing...

Via boston.com: “With training camp less than two weeks away, a handful of players were at the Celtics practice facility today working out for Celtics president Danny Ainge. Adam Morrison, Rashad McCants, Trenton Hassell, and Cuttino Mobley were a few of the names that rung out. ‘Just taking a look before training camp,’ Ainge said. ‘Those guys are all good...

As if the thought of Adam Morrison in green wasn’t bad enough, Celtics fans now have a long list of has-beens and never-was’es to deal with.Trenton Hassell hasn’t been relevant for years,  Adam Morrison should have quit the game after college, Rashad McCants makes Von Wafer look like a choir-boy, and I thought Cuttino Mobley wasn’t even allowed to play basketball anymore...

Q: All the experts continue to say this is D-Wade’s team. However my thought is LeBron will be the MVP of this team? Do you agree? — Eric. A: Yes and yes. With the Heat returning so many players from last season (Arroyo, Jones, Anthony, Magloire, Haslem, Chalmers, Hasbrouck, Randolph), Dwyane has an influence that already is in place, somewhat making this his team....

With Jarvis Hayes sidelined and Trenton Hassell starting, Chris Douglas-Roberts was out of Kiki Vandeweghe's doghouse and back in the rotation for the Nets' 102-93 loss to Portland. But when dealing with Douglas-Roberts and his inconsistent minutes -- up-and-down like a yo-yo -- one never knows how long that...

by Russ Bengtson The story is told by the starting lineups. For the visiting Indiana Pacers, it’s Dahntay Jones, Danny Granger, Roy Hibbert, Brandon Rush and T.J. Ford. For the Nets, it’s Terrence Williams, Trenton Hassell, Brook Lopez, Chris Douglas-Roberts and Rafer Alston. Wait a minute, scratch that. This story is told by one starter: Trenton Hassell. Trenton’s a nice guy...

The Nets' Trenton Hassell does not have the All-Star talents that wow a crowd. The only way he gets on a poster is as the victim. Sales of his jersey rank below Rodney Buford and slightly ahead of Osama Bin Laden in U.S. popularity. But he is a guy...

You have to feel for Nets fans. With the team dressing just 8 players, their team played with heart and never gave up, but at the end of the game, they were still 0-7. We might go 0-82. Yeah, we might. One night we score 68 pts, the next night we give up 124 pts... We're just godawful. #1 pick here we come!! I say 10-72. But LeBron will come right? Nets suck...

The Mavericks made the trade in...

Mark Cuban and the Mavericks have averted the large obstacle that presented itself when they tried to swipe Jason Kidd originally, and have rejuvenated hopes of getting the Nets triple-double machine. After Devean George blocked the potential deal, and the NBA ruled that Jerry Stackhouse couldn't be involved in the trade, Dallas moved swiftly and rearranged the deal to make it...
