Bring them all back, sign Kaman and draft Austin.

PG: Rondo/Rivers
SG: Bradley/Allen/moore
SF: Pierce/Green/Pietrus
PF: Garnett/Bass/Johnson
C:  Kaman/Wilcox/Stiemsma/Williams

Basically a fully healthy Celtics team with the addition of Kaman and drafting rivers.  This team is very deep all of a sudden and can make another run next year. Also the celtics will be major players in 2013 free agency.


1.   Trade 21 +22 to draft rivers
2.   Sign Kaman
3.   Bring KG and Ray back on 1 year deals
4.   Bass opts in for 1 year
5.   Green and Wilcox re-sign
6.   Pietrus re- signs vet min 1 year


I want clarification on how much you're giving Kaman, KG, Ray, Bass, Green and Wilcox.  This doesn't appear to be financially possible.  Thanks, though. 



Bass opts in I think 4.5?
Kg  1 yr 8 million
Ray 1 year 4 million
 green 1 year 5 million
Wilcox 1 yr 3 million
Kaman 3years 18 million 6 per

It should work
Pick 2 Heat: 
Pg: Jennings/Vasquez
Sg: Wade/R. Allen/Rivers
SF: Lebron/M. Williams
PF: Bosh/Humphries
C: B. Lopez/Dalembert/Anthony

I think this is realistic and I would not be opposed to trading both our picks for Austin Rivers.  I see a lot of Avery Bradley in him in terms of what's happening in the draft.  Austin was arguably the best player in the country coming out of high school.  One decent year at Duke and suddenly 10 guys jump in front of him on the draft board.  If he slips down to #15 that will be the steal of the draft in my opinion.

6'5" combo guard with range, handle, and ability to finish at the rim.  Reminds me a lot of D-Wade.
