Someone should start rumors the Roy Hibbert stole a roommate's computer on a wild drug binge then drove a Porsche 120 mph with open alcohol containers in the front seat. This is so he'll fall to 30 and be the new big man in Boston!
I find the following four players very interesting (at #30):Brandon RushBill WalkerChris Douglas RobertsDeVon HardinMore or less in that order. I think the first three could contribute right away.For the #60 spot, someone who I think could be interesting is Drew Neitzel (I know, I know, great college player, will be a terrible pro, right?)

He may not even be drafted, and could be an invite to summerleague. He reminds me a bit of Steve Blake with his leadership abilities.

Too bad for us Cs fans, because it is such a great chance to see the youngsters play.

The Celtics have been regular participants in the Las Vegas Summer League these past few years, but that is going to come to an end this July. With a veteran-laden roster, many of them free agents-to-be, it might be hard to get a team of Definite Celtics together for 2008-09."Baby [Glen Davis] would have to play point guard," Doc Rivers cracked.But, seriously, Davis, Gabe Pruitt, and Mr. First-Round Draft Pick would be the only real Celtics on the roster, so, for that reason, the team will instead hold a minicamp in Waltham for undrafted players and assorted other mid- to lower-level free agents. (In other words, don't expect to see Antawn Jamison show up.)"I think we're going to put as much time in this summer as we always have, but not in the form of participating in a summer league," Danny Ainge said. "We're going to try something different."We've had free agent minicamps before, but usually they were just for a couple days. We'd like to do this for a week, probably before the Vegas Summer League. We want it to be more Celtic-like, do some of our things and not just have it like a game of pickup basketball. There'll be more in-depth stuff with our own coaching staff."Ainge said he still plans to attend the Vegas Summer League, but only for scouting purposes."I go to all the summer leagues," he said, "and try to look at the players and see which rookies we might have missed or passed on. So I'll probably be there for a few days."In other words, the golf courses won't go unused.
The Celtics won't have a summer league team, but tentatively have rookie and free agent camps in Waltham scheduled July 3-7.
I knew trading Gerald Green away was a big mistake. The man was a Summer League Hall of Famer. Bring back Gerald and save our Summer League program.QuoteThe Celtics won't have a summer league team, but tentatively have rookie and free agent camps in Waltham scheduled July 3-7.
