I've been mulling an idea around for a contest/game that would be centered around what we believe the Celtics final roster will be entering the season. So this morning I finally worked out all the details. So here it is.

The object of the game is to predict who will be on the 15 man Celtics roster come game 1 in Sept/Oct. You get points for every correct player on the team and also get points for correctly predicting free agent acquisitions and trades. All rosters must be submitted before the July 1st free agency period begins or before the first Celtic transaction takes place whichever happens last. So you can submit a roster after July 1st but if you wait to long you could be shut out by a move by the Celtics.

Correctly predicted starting player = 5 points
Correctly predicted bench player = 1 point
Correctly predicting a player is cut or waived = 5 points
Correctly predicting a current player signs elsewhere = 15 points
Correctly predicting the team a current player signs with = 25 points
Correctly predicting free agent signing = 10 points
Correctly predicting an open roster spot = 10 points
Correctly predicting trade of current player = 15 points
Correctly predicting trade of current player to his final destination = 25 points
Correctly predicting trade of incoming player = 25 points
Correctly predicting an entire trade(draft picks and money excluded) = 100 points

In order to play you must submit your 15 man roster with manner in which that player got here as well as the whereabouts of the players the Celtics currently have.

Example

Starter - KG
Starter - Perk
Starter - Pierce
Starter - Rondo
Starter - Josh Howard - acquired in trade from Mavs
Bench - Jason Terry - acquired in trade from Mavs
Bench - Big Baby - resigned as restricted free agent
Bench - Leon Powe - resigned as restricted free agent
Bench - JR Giddens
Bench - Andres Noccioni - acquired in trade from Kings
Bench - Antonio McDyess - signed as free agent
Bench - Fabricio Oberto - signed as free agent
Bench - Anthony Carter - signed as free agent
Bench - Lester Hudson
Bench - open

Gone - Ray Allen - sent to Mavs in trade
Gone - Bill Walker - sent to Mavs in trade
Gone - Scal - sent to Kings in trade
Gone - Tony Allen - sent to kings in trade
Gone - Gabe Pruitt - sent to Kings in trade.
Gone - Eddie House - opted out and signed with 76ers


Feel free to cut and paste the above as your format. Feel free to discuss your trades/signings/happenings or those of others.

I figure the top 3 point finishers will receive points.
The winner will receive 75% of all TPs awarded.
2nd place will receive 20% of all TPs awarded.
3rd place will receive 5% of all TPs awarded.

There twice as many TP's given as players in the game so tell friends and other members.

Good luck and may the person who most thinks like Danny Ainge win!!!!

“Being a Celtic is, every decision you make is about the team. Every cut you make is about the team. Every pass you make is about the team. You take yourself out of it. It’s not for everyone. If you don’t want to win, don’t want to play team basketball, and it’s more about you then you’re probably not a Celtic." Doc 2010

I don't think Danny's going to pull a trade until the trading deadline.  At that pint I see Veal and TA (and possibly House) being moved for Nocioni.

Bench:
Glen Davis - Resigned as RFA

Stephon Marbury - Signed as UFA
Mo Peterson - obtained via trade with NO
Hakim Warick - Signed as UFA

Bill Walker
Gabe Pruitt

Gone:
Tony Allen - traded to NO
Brian Scalibrine - traded to NO
Mikki Moore- Signs with New Jersey
J.R. Giddens- Signs with Wolves

I really hope Danny targets Warick with something like 16 million over 4.  The remainder of the MLE, LLE and min can be used to sign Wilcox, Powe, and Marbury.

Mo Pete for Scal/TA seems like a good way to ensure depth at the wing and could be likely given NO's need to shed payroll.
