We're just three players away

[Surferdad]

So if you're on the SL squad and you don't have a guaranteed contract, you're not making the team.

I'm salivating at this roster :

PG: Rondo, Terry, Moore

SG: Allen, Bradely, Pietrus

SF: Pierce, Green, Joseph

PF: Bass, Sullinger, Wilcox

C: Garnett, Stiesma, Melo

So for me it's 5 more signings!

I would let JJJ go muscle his game in the D league and come back next year fight for Wilcox spot...

I will try too keep Stiesma as much as possible!! The kid is a keeper!!

I wanna give a chance to Moore and Joseph (We will see them in action very soon!!)

That's a great squad.

I'd like to upgrade Steamer and grab Krstic or Wilcox...or both if its possible money wise...

Rondo/Terry
Bradley/Ray/Pietrus
Pierce/Green/Joseph
Bass/Sullinger/Johnson
KG/Krstic/Wilcox/Melo

Best possible outcome IMO.

Players remaining who need to be signed:

Ray Allen
Jeff Green
Nenad Krstic
Chris Wilcox
Mickael Pietrus

Not sure the money is there to get all of them signed.  So Krstic, Wilcox, & Pietrus for that matter might not happen.

that is the one....

We're still a jump shooting offense team and that worries me come playoff time.  We still don't have a low post presence on the blocks and we have not addressed the rebounding issue.  

Sully will give you want powe/baby gave us and more...and he can rebound....he instantly helps the low post game

jeff green will also...

Sweet... that settles that.  A rookie who was just picked behind 20 other kids is going to solve our biggest weaknesses.

It's no guarantee.  At the same time, the guy picked behind 21 other guys last year would have helped this team a lot.

I'll be very pleased if the three are Ray (bird rights), Stiemsma (BAE) and Wilcox (minimum).  Elite bench bomber, capable bench 5 and veteran big man help.

Krstic (bird rights), Pietrus (BAE) and Joey Dorsey (minimum), would be my consolation prizes if the above 3 bail.

[Brendan]

Rondo / Terry
Ray / AB
Pierce / Green
Bass / Sullinger
KG / Wilcox / Melo

At 11 - if possible I'd keep Steisma, S. Williams, Dooling - then one of Moore, Joseph, JJJ

I think Melo comes on slow and we need depth at Center more than anywhere else (because of the positional flexibility of Wilcox & Wilcox to play PF, plus being 6 deep at PG/SG/SF slots.

AP: Ray Allen is staying in Miami overnight, as talks with Heat continue

not looking good

Green Update:

Sam Amick
On the Celtics front, agent David Falk continues to say he thinks a deal gets done with Boston for free agent forward Jeff Green. One source with knowledge of the talks says it may be in the four years, $40 million neighborhood, but it is not done.
"I’m confident it’ll get done," Falk told SI.com. "I guess they got (Brandon) Bass' (contract) done, which is great. Jeff is trying to get a sense of what the team looks like first before he makes a commitment, but I expect he’ll be there and I expect it’ll be done by the 11th (when the free agency moratorium ends). We’ve gotten a lot of interest from other teams. But as far as Boston, we’re very confident we’ll get it done.
"He wants to be in Boston. He’s excited about the moves they’ve made. He’s hoping Ray Allen comes back as well, because he feels very close to Ray Allen." Allen is visiting Miami today and appears to be down to Boston and the Heat for his considerations.
