Honestly, none. TP to spoon for stating it very well.
 But Delonte did play very well for the Cavs, so yes, I guess if we lose E. House, Delonte would be a decent backup.
Some great names here though. I had totally forgotten Stojko, now I'll have to re-forget him. A few of the guys I actually did like during the past 15 years or so  were Adrian Griffin, Sherm Douglas, Big Al of course, Eric Williams, Vitaly(really), Waltah.

Obviously, among current active players the ex-Celtics you'd most like to have back are Joe Johnson and Al Jefferson.



I'd take Chauncy over either in a heartbeat (as much as I love Rondo)

Seeing as how we've lost PJ Brown to retirement I'd bring back Toine for a ring under the following circumstances

Gets in awesome shape

No jacking up threes

You forgot adding "when pigs fly".  What's that they say about teaching an old dog new tricks?

(Cool: two animal-related cliches in one post.)
Roy, that's all hogwash.

Antoine will never change his stripes. Once he's here, in two shakes of a lamb's tail, he go hog wild and will always try to get the lion's share of the team's shots. The guy gets my goat the way he tries to rule the roost. He'll have all the rest of his teammates running around like chickens with their heads cut off attempting to rebound his misses and then he'll strut around proud as a peacock when he hits the very occasional three. Let's face it, the guys no spring chicken and yet he thinks he's the cat's meow. Danny would have to have bats in his belfrey to bring Antoine Walker and his snakelike Walker wiggle back. I mean, there's got to be other fish in the sea that don't run at a snail's pace anymore.

(Cool: 15 animal cliches!! You're turn)  ;D ;D ;D

Now that's a TP.

Ok Ok. You got me there. I know telling Antoine to get in shape and not jack up threes is like telling Stalin to go on a religious retreat and come back with a better attitude but still....Ainge did bring him back once before for a playoff push and that was with knowing what he was like. This time with good vets around and knowing it's his absolute last chance to get a ring and redeem himself I thought maybe he'd behave. He'd HAVE to know he was number 4 at best. He behaved with the Heat so I had dreams that maybe it could happen. I see it as compensation for him having to put up with both ML Carr AND Pittino. We're lucky he never went postal....apologies to post masters everywhere. Cliff Claven is one of my favorite characters ever.

Here is an unrestricted FA and young pg with some talent who had a good year for you......Bassy.

Also Delonte is a restricted FA.

If we didn't bring back Posey, Allen, and House I wouldn't be surprised if we tried to split the MLE at these guys or Gomes. Like 3mill to one and 2.7 to the other or something like that.
