Roster Stuff

[Bombastic Jones]

Assuming we could get anybody from last years squad back at these numbers, who do you want?

* = wild speculation
1) Paul Pierce         $16,790,345
2) Kevin Garnett       $12,000,000*
3) Rajon Rondo         $11,000,000
4) Ray Allen           $7,000,000*
5) Jeff Green          $6,000,000*
6) Nenad Krstic        $6,000,000*
7) Brandon Bass        $5,000,000*
Chris Wilcox        $3,000,000*
9) Avery Bradley       $1,630,800
10) 21                 $1,089,240
11) JuJuan Johnson     $1,089,240
12) 22                 $1,045,600
13) Keyon Dooling      $1,000,000*
14) Sasha Pavlovic     $876,000*
15) Mickael Pietrus    $876,000*
16) Marquis Daniels    $876,000*
17) Greg Stiemsma      $876,000*
18) Ryan Hollins       $876,000*
19) E'Twaun Moore      $762,195
20)  51                $473,000
TOTAL                  $78,260,420

My choices:
1) Rondo / ET
2) Ray / Bradley / Sasha
3) Truth / Green / Pietrus
4) KG / Bass / Wilcox
5) Kristic / Steimsma
plus BPA at #21 and #22

So obviously that is letting 'Quis, Keyon, JJJ, Hollins and #51 go.

I don't know what it says about me that I would be thrilled with that team.  Living in the past? Optimistic that we have a good shot of at least getting to the ECF again?

Also, does anyone know the D League rules?  Could we send JJJ there and bring him up later if say Wilcox went down?  What about signing Hollins or #51 and doing the same?  What are the roster rules under the new CBA?  Active roster 13 but can have 15?

krystic isnt coming back. it would be awesome if he did but as of now i dont see it happening.

krystic isnt coming back. it would be awesome if he did but as of now i dont see it happening.

Why?  His Russian deal has a buy out, he liked the Celtics, and he could make more money here.  Are you saying that another team might throw more money at him?

Otherwise Ray goes to Miami for $3M, so Danny throws $7M at him?

[Celtics18]

I'll play.

Rondo/Dooling/Machado(51)
Bradley/Allen/Pavlovic
Pierce/J. Green/Q. Miller(21)
Bass/Wilcox/J. Johnson
Garnett/Stiemsma/Melo(22)

he left the nba because he was homesick or whatever. i really liked krstic, i thought he was awesome, and i really hope he comes back.

He might have been home sick, but he also had a chance to get paid to play ball for the season.  At the time, there was a pretty good chance that wasn't an option over here.

Rondo / dooling
Ray / Ab
Green / pierce
Wilcox / bass
Kg / Kristic / steisma

Keep all three draft picks (best available, doesn't matter position). If the chance comes to trade two for one r three for one, do that with picks and keep Sean Williams and jjj.

If you're gonna "bring back the band" you might as well do it as closely to what it was supposed to be at the start of last season.  That means same starting five and projected backups (as I recall, except JO was in the mix):

1) Rondo / Dooling / ET
2) Ray / Bradley
3) Pierce / Green / Pietrus
4) Bass / Wilcox / JJJ
5) KG / Stiemsma
plus BPA at #21 and #22
