I might just have my Celtics homer glasses on, and I'm hoping Ray and KG do to but here we go.

KG comes back at 8 million for one year.
Ray comes back at 4 or 5 mil for one year.

Danny takes a hard look at Chris Kaman for his starting PF/C spot. Depending on where they want to put KG.

Danny then tries to sign Lamar Odom or Illyasova. It would probably be Odom on a vet min deal considering how bad his season was. Illyasova is a pipe dream and would probably cost too much considering all the moves I'm trying to make.

Danny brings back Jeff Green to back up Paul Pierce.

Starting lineup:

Rondo
Bradley
Pierce
Kaman
KG

Bench:

Green
Bass
Illyasova/Odom
Ray Allen
Dooling (back up for Rajon? Bradley would also play back up pg minutes.)
Rookie
Jujuan Johnson.

I am not a capologist, nor do I know what the Celtics cap situation would look like but. Odom and Kaman could be had at reasonable deals that could make this all work.

Id have to disagree with this aswell. We have 2 1st rounders and a 2nd rounder thats 3 rooks. I guess people not understanding that Odom ONLY WANTS TO PLAY FOR THE LAKERS.

Celtics only have one second rounder that probably won't make the team, and I fully believe him to try to move up with his 2 first rounders so he has one pick.

Thing about Odom, he's never said he just wants to play for the Lakers. He loved that city yes, and it was a head spin for him to have to leave. He didn't have any time to mentally come to grips with having to leave LA and be effective for Dallas. He basically got thrown right into a season that he clearly wasn't ready for on a new team. I think with a full offseason he can return to what he was.

I also can't remember where, but I could have sworn I read somewhere where he said he'd like to play for the Celtics.

What a weird season it's been for Lamar Odom. The Mavericks forward's unhappiness with the trade that brought him from Los Angeles was well-documented, and according to multiple reports he has requested a buyout of his contract. The rumors blog Hoops Authority rekindled that rumor on Tuesday, adding that the Celtics would be one of Odom's preferred destinations.


There were also reports that OJ Mayo did not want to play in Boston, Then there were reports that he did. I don't care what articles say anymore or even what players say. Action speak louder than words and obviously Odom's actions were very unimpressive and ruined the team he was on with no care in the world.
