Sherrod thinks if the Nets land Joe Johnson that Gerald could find his way back to Boston. What are your thoughts on this? I think if Ray doesn't come back he could be a good option. He played well with the Nets last season...

I usually don't take what Sherrod says too seriously though... Lol

I think this is a bit of a stretch by Sherrod. Gerald my be something like our second to last option at this point.

No Gerald please. He had one good year on a garbage team. No thank you.

Sherrod needed to write an article so he reached back five months to find a random quote from Doc and connected it to free agency. Anyone in the league could be on the Celtics next year and that word, without any sources even mentioned, screams made-up journalism that isn't really making a bold prediction either but rather a pretty obvious statement that's protected by the word "could" to me.

Pete Abe's cousin is always solid entertainment, but just remember that posters on this board could come up with more credible information.

That is typical A. Sherrod.  It's not a bad idea, but it doesn't sound like it's based on any reality or his position as an "insider."

Haha I completely agree. Just figured I would throw it out there to get peoples opinions on the topic, assuming it had ANY truth to it at all.

With the New Jersey Nets in talks of a potential trade with the Atlanta Hawks for Joe Johnson, the domino effect might make its way all the way to Causeway Street.

The addition of Johnson could make the Nets less likely to re-sign Gerald Green, which might then open the door for a potential return to Boston for the former Celtic.

Green, whose youth and immaturity factored heavily in his struggles during his first stint with the C's, returned to the NBA this past season (he had been out since 2009) following a strong showing in the D-League.

In 31 games with the Nets, Green averaged 12.9 points while shooting 48 percent from the field and 39 percent on 3s -- both career highs.

He has at least one fan among the C's hierarchy: head coach Doc Rivers.

"He's not a bad kid," Rivers said. "He's never been a bad kid. He just needed some direction. Sometimes, you have to go through hard times to make it. And I'm really hoping he makes it."

Rivers added, "People look at Gerald and they just saw this freak athlete that won the (2007) dunk contest. Gerald can make shots. He can really shoot the basketball. He just hadn't been taught how to play basketball. I hope it works out for him."

Green, 26, is not a player that ranks at or near the top of the Celtics' wish list. But depending on how free agency plays out, that could change quickly.

Boston has already reached out to representatives for Jamal Crawford -- a player CSNNE.com said last month would be a player of interest to Boston during free agency -- as well as those for Ray Allen, O.J. Mayo, Nick Young and Jason Terry.

sounds like speculation, but I wouldn't mind him if pietrus leaves as a 5th wing

Classic Blakely.

The team hasn't been linked to Gerald, but because he theoretically *could* sign with Boston, he makes a story out of it.

Sherrod is by far the least knowledgeable beat writer I have ever witnessed in Boston. I feel like he never discusses or reports anything of substance.

Seems like a good guy, but I'm very confident they could find a better replacement.

I always feel the same way like he isn't telling me anything I don't know. He is Tanguay status.

Gerald Green doesn't fit what this team is trying to do, he still can't play defense...at all. I guess maybe as a 12th man who can dunk in a pinch but why does Blakely need to go down this road?
