Quote from: WedmanIsMyHero on May 30, 2009, 11:21:43 AMHow awesome would it have been to sign Mickael Pietrus last summer. . .Quote from: vwoodruff on May 30, 2009, 11:08:29 AMThere are several names continually mentioned in trades and free agency that are not coming to the Celtics for a variety of reasons. I thought it would be helpful to start a list.Here are the first two that come to mind:Trevor Ariza - hates the Celtics... has mentioned it on numerous occasions... not likely that the Cs would be a top destinationJames Posey - if the Cs didn't pay him last summer when the economy was better (read: more competition for Posey's contract v. less competition for similar talent this year), why would Ainge reverse course? Because the Cs were injured this postseason? I just don't see it happening...Are there any other players out there with justifiable reasons for not coming to BOS - either on the players end or the Cs end?Re: Posey.Easy. Ainge was dead wrong about passing on him last summer, plus he'd afford a chance to get rid of Tony Allen.
