How many of Rondo's and Sullinger's minutes do you expect him to soak up?  If we're talking ex-Celtics, I'd rather bring back Tony Battie if he still wants to play.  My real hope is that Minnesota doesn't sign Chris Johnson to a full contract and Boston can re-acquire his shot-blocking prowess.

I would like Ryan Gomes as third string SF/PF. Sold.

I love Gomes and would welcome him back on the team anytime.  He was the hardest part of the KG trade for me

  In case you didn't read the article (I didn't at first) that's where the quote was:

"Ryan Gomes is a supremely athletic small forward with a career mark of 35.0 percent from three-point range.

The first three words that come to mind are "Los Angeles Lakers."

L.A. is in dire need of athleticism and three-point shooters. Gomes could complement Earl Clark and Devin Ebanks on the second unit as they compete to provide that type of presence"

  As usual, astute player evaluations from bleacher report.

Nice likable kid and and all ..smart...but an average player, I'd trade 50 Ryan Gomes for kg...I'm sure in hindsight it must not have been that hard for you....I don't really think we have any use for him unless you want insurance if green/pierce got hurt

I would like Ryan Gomes as third string SF/PF. Sold.

Haven't seen him play in a long while, how is he looking as a SF? But yeah, I'm leaning towards yes...

I wonder if Powe is a cripple at this point because i prefer him to Gomes.

Love Gomes but I'd look around for a bigger option at PF first

I would be bringing Ryan Gomes in more as a SF than a PF. Well, a combo SF/PF who can play some PF against small-ball lineups when needed.

I wouldn't be looking to him as big man help. More as insurance behind Pierce and Green. That third string SF which has been missing.

Yeah, I haven't seen Gomes play in a long time either. Not since he was starting with the Clippers. That was two years ago. He was playing well then though. Not well by starting SF standards but well for below average but solid primary backup SF. If he can do anything like that, he'd be an very strong third string SF.

I understand where you're coming from but I would prefer a PF/C player than a SF/PF player as the next person signed to the roster.  I really think we need an option to Bass at PF that has some size.
