Will this blog be active throughout the offseason?

[Fafnir]

  There will be tons of activity. Plenty of threads about needing to replace Rondo, who's wildly inconsistent, can't shoot and is a terrible defender. 40-50 threads about ideas to ship Ray out of town. Threads about how our window has closed because KG will never come back from this knee injury. Threads about all sorts of things will somehow gravitate towards whether we need to sign Davis no matter the price. Attacks on Ainge every time a player signs with another team. And if that's not enough, we'll have a summer league team this year.

But we can't re-sign Baby regardless of the price.  We can only match up to the MLE, according to Roy. 

And the fact is, we could ship Ray out in a heartbeat for any stiff with multiple years of bad contract left: Eddie Curry, Sammy Dalembert, or Tyson Chandler, anyone?

See how it works, OP?  Controversy galore!

He can only be offered the MLE. They changed that rule after Gilbert Arenas was stolen from Golden State when they desperately wanted to resign him.

Slight clarification:  he can only be offered the MLE in the first two years of his deal; after that, a healthy raise (well beyond an MLE deal) can be built into the contract.  However, we'll have the capability of matching this, should another team offer it.
