And goodbye to Tony Allen or Nate Robinson  

[Marcus13]

He'll be a good player and one that will play a role for us, but it's not what we really needed.  I understand a good big man wasn't available but we need a guard that can shoot off the dribble while Pierce is out of the game...that is the opposite of what Avery does

I'd rather keep Nate for our backup PG

[Celtics Fan]

Welcome Avery I dont know how you will fit but I'm sure you will make a contribution. I mean alot of Celtic fans thought Danny was crazy for trading for Rajon and now look. Good luck and good wishes man.

I would think he'd get way more minutes at the 2 guard.

The OP said say goodbye to Nate or Tony...Im saying I'd rather keep Nate.

[CoachBo]

He'll be fine at the 2, and his alleged inability to shoot is a wild misconception. He's fine with the catch and shoot.

Love his defense, and I'll take that over James Anderson all day. Do not like Anderson's one dimensional game at all.

Who thought that?

Also, where is him making an outside shot on that highlight film?? I think he made one, and it wasn't even a 3. That concerns me.

Hello Avery!   Once you have signed up, shoot us your CelticsBlog handle!

[Mr October]

Welcome Avery. Kid looks really fast and has great wingspan. Thats what we want to see running with Rondo - more speed, length and shooting.

Here's to hoping for the best.

Rondo was not a popular guy on here when he was drafted.  A huge contingent preferred Marcus Williams.

Rondo is one of several reasons I'm glad Danny doesn't ask us what we think.

[celticinorlando]

well 0 is available for him

[GrandTheftRondo]

I'll take him.

I doubt he'll be missing any dunks anytime soon.

Also he looks like he'll bring some energy and some much needed scoring in the paint area.

Tom Ziller:

Bradley slides down to No. 19 after a disappointing year at Texas; he is, perhaps, 2010's prospect most hurt by the age minimum. Out of high school, he might have been top five.

[Andy Jick]

Welcome Avery...  Hope you're moved for cash considerations shortly.
