The Moment or should I say Movement we've been waiting for is going to initiate this week! I just have a strong feeling that Daniels will be signed, TA will be moved and so would JR Giddens.

p.s.
Marbury is not going to Greece. They said they don't want him, because of some he said she said bad attitude rumor http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WmCZ_dGNDqg
So his situation is still in the air...

He says half way through that he'll play for free, but he doesn't want to be on the bench...As in he wants to start, or he wants more minutes? If he wants to start...too [dang] bad. If he wants to be that backup PG/SG, then sign him PLEASE. I don't care what craziness he shows online, b/c I bet half our favorite players are similar to him in more ways than one. Bring back Starbury.
Can't stop, Rondo!

I have a feeling Danny would like to free up to 3 roster spots to make room for:

1. Vet PG (Iverson, JWill for example)
2. Bruce Bowen
3. RObert Swift

Right now I believe Danny wants to keep this core of 9 rotation players:

Starting line-up (5):

Rondo, Ray, Pierce, KG, Perk

Bench rotation (4):

Sheed, Marquis, Eddie, Baby

Other keepers (3):

Shelden Williams and Brian Scalabrine (Frontcourt help)
Bill Walker (Wing defender and energy player- making Tony expendable)

Now, that leaves us with the 2 expendable players plus the open roster spot:

1. Tony Allen: Danny is trying to make him leave in the S/T with Indy
2. JR: Another piece in that S/T?
3. The spot for Hudson won't likely be filled by the rook, unless a 3rd PG doesn't finally gets signed by the team

I feel the team needs:

1. A third string PG to send either Shelden or Scal to the inactive list
2. Another wing defender in case the Walker experiment doesn't work of if Danny needs him for that S/T with Indy for Daniels
3. An open spot for a project that will go to his long time "project in mind" Robert Swift.

“We’ve always liked what he can do,’’ president of basketball operations Danny Ainge said. “I’ve liked him since the first time I saw him - in high school.’’

And Swift has long had an affinity for the Celtics.

“Great team, great coaches, great players,’’ Swift said. “It’s Boston. I don’t think there’s a better city, all around; it’s the best place you can be."

I have a feeling...that Swift will be a Celtic in October ;)

We'll see. Surely he'll be at training camp battling for the final roster among a few. I expect DA to sign a couple of people to non-guaranteed contracts once the Daniels thing is settled.

Seven guys for the frontcourt?  I don't think so.  I don't see Swift here unless Scal goes.

  • Doc could learn a thing or two from Norman Dale
Is Starbury trying to take credit for Rondo's performance in Chicago?   ::)

Interesting to hear that Doc had to take him aside and tell him to quit being a distraction to Rondo, after which Starbury apologized.  I wonder what that was all about.

haha maybe avoiding Starbury was the reason Rondo sat in the parking lot.

I really have no problem with 'Bury on our team, I feel he can be useful once he settles in, with the minutes and his role.
Tony...well I'm 50-50 about his status, but if he has to go in order to bring Daniels...Where do I sign?
And for last, I would like to know what kind of a player JRG and Billy can actually be, 'cause, we are an old team, and it' seams we need that young guys who want to prove themselves.
Anyway I have full confidence in Danny the ownership and Doc...  ;D

It looks like Marquis will come for the LLe for one year. Too bad, at least we tried. That leaves another spot, and I can guarantee that it is not going to Bowen. Either Marbury or Swift (the two players most likely to be signed). If we can move one or two players in the S/T deal (or another deal), we could sign Steph as well as Swift. And I think this is what Danny is aiming for.

Disgusting. Robert Swift is garbage. The guy couldn't stay healthy, and can't get a contract with the THUNDER! Why would we want damaged talentless goods. Signing Robert Swift will limit Scal's minutes, which is WRONG. If we sign a Swift, let it be Stromile. And YES, again I say SIGN MARBURY.. Can Mikki Moore be used in a sign and trade with Tony for Marquis?
Can't stop, Rondo!

The more I see of Marbury the person, the more I want no part of him anywhere near the C's.  He's a loser through and through, no matter what kind of talent he was blessed with.

Or Starbury stole a ton of Rondo's free Red Bull, thus keeping him up all night online.

Can we use Eric Montross in a sign-and-trade? Same answer.
