If the Celtics want to run it back, they're best off bringing Rondo
back very slowly.  And when he's back he shouldn't be run into the ground.

I'd love to give Terrence Williams a shot, especially as he can guard two guards
while Bradley guards PG.

However, I think the Celts need someone more experienced and with an
established and consistent jumper, even if the D is average. One name that comes to mind is Dragic.  Another is Calderon.  I assume no chance at Jarret Jack.  Anyway, even after Rondo is at full strength it would be great to bring in a guy with a dependable jumper to throw a different look at the other team while Rondo gets a breather.  Any other names come to mind and strategies for getting them?  Free agents we might be overlooking?

The Celtics need a stop-gap until Rondo comes back.  They should look for a pass-first guy who can be had for the minimum.  Maybe a D-Leaguer who has never had a real chance to show what he can do in the NBA.

I'd love it if the Celtics could figure out how to lure Bo McCalebb back to the US.  I think he could be ideal.

Wasn't he on that Turkish team the Celtics played in their first preseason game this year?

I liked that dude.  Not sure he can play defense, though.  Can't remember.

That's the guy.  I don't know if he can play defense either, but I don't frankly care.  Just put him on whatever guard spots up in the corner for threes.
