Alright first things first.  This isn't a "bring back antione" thread so don't even go there (unless you really want him back).


I want to know who would take back on the c's as a free agent or through a trade?

I hear Delonte's only being offered about 2.5 mill or something and he played really well in the playoffs.

Also Ryan Gomes has said all along that he would like to return to Minnesota, but the lure of success must be tempting.

So that's where I'll start it off.

I would like to see Delonte and Ryan back in green. ;)
Truuuuuuuuuth!

It depends on who we lose in the offseason.  I would prefer to replace youth with youth and vets with vets.  Of course, it would be nice to have Employee #8 back in green.  He could be the 12th man for that matter.  He could take Pollard's spot.

I agree with Ryan and Delonte.  The only other guy I would love to see in Celtic green again is Big Al, but we really don't need him any more.  
Who said the East was the JV conference? See you next year, Mr. Bryant!

Antoine if he's cheap. I think he could be quite useful being a legit scorer off the bench, something we're really missing.

Wouldn't mind Gerald Green for cheap. I don't think it's time yet to give up on the guy, he's plenty young, and I can see him being useful in this team. He's 22 years old, he has a huge window to improve, and it would be a low risk if he's cheap, considering how his stock should be quite low at the moment.

Ryan Gomes... I really like the guy, but I think he'll command a bit of money and he's not really what we need. For the type of money he'd get, we should be able to get better players. I think he'll stay in 'Sota though.

Delonte, I'd love to see him back especially as a back-up PG. He stepped up in the playoffs and could be the sort of scorer we need off the bench.

Joe Johnson (unaffordable)

Big Al (unaffordable)

I don't think we'll be able to get Delonte or Ryan back this off-season.  I expect they'll resign with their current teams, and even if they don't, I think we'll need our MLE for Posey.

If this is more of a "wish list" thing, then, I think it begins with Big Al and Joe Johnson.  I'd love to see either of them back at some point in the future.

Can we move this to the "Celtics Talk" portion of the forum?

I'd like to see Gomes back here if Posey leaves...

When will we know about Poseys option?
When can we make offers at other free agents?

If Eddie House takes another offer or we decide not to bring him back I'd LOVE to see Delonte back. I know he liked it here so maybe he would sign a cheap 1 year deal for a shot at a ring.

Its too bad Posey wouldn't pick up his option this year so we can use our MLE to split on a guy like Delonte and a serviceable big man. Then we could give him our MLE next year.

Sadly on Delonte
because I dont know if u all rememebr that I LOVE him as a playaaaa
hes now in other contender, and those teams are tough to leave
He and Bron will be a year older and wiser and reaching their prime
Tough situation
no way he leaves if his contract is better

Nice to be back!

I would love to have Delonte, Ryan Gomes, and Al Jefferson back.   I really liked those guys.

Antoine on the cheap and Gerald Green under the same circumstances, both will need to commit to defense, especially the youngin.
