It's midnight

All this money and no top agents even consider us, so much for "we have never had the money to get a top free agent" theory.   I would love to be wrong on it, and it is early, but signs point to us not being a top destination for players.   I think this makes the likelihood of a future trade more likely for us involving our guard surplus.

It's hard to be a top destination for free agents if you don't have anybody on your team who would be a major free agent himself if he were on the market.

That's just how it works.  Players want to join teams where they will have help.  Right or wrong, I think players look at the Celts and see a good coach and a bunch of role players.  Not an ideal situation.

Realistically only LA, NY, and perhaps Brooklyn have the ability to attract big-name free agents without pre-existing all-star talent. Nobody wants to go anywhere they have to be "the man" anymore. It's just the way things are.

A trade and giving up a pick to get a player to me is what we have to do if we strike out in free agency. A three way trade is all I see. The only teams looking to trade our INDYBKN PHX, Den and Sac. Roy Hibbert Eric Bledose,  Rudy Gay, Ty Lawson, and Joe Johnson can all be had.

one as only to see LAs recent level of success in getting top free agents to see the power of this hypothesis.
