Now that Lee is going to be a Celtic, how do we fill empty roster spots left ?

[rondohondo]

if its JJJ ,Moore and Williams for Lee, how many roster spots would be open ? 3?

I would imagine they will try to sign a big man and another vet pg

PG: Rondo    / Bradley     /
SG: Lee      / Terry       /
SF: PP       / Green       / Joseph
PF: Bass     / Sullinger   /
 C: KG       / Wilcox      / Melo

[LEHGOCELTICS]

I really do hope they can sign Andersen, or Blatche, maybe both. An excess of bigs is always a good thing to have.

PG: Rondo    / Bradley     
SG: Lee      / Terry       / Redd?
SF: PP       / Green       / Joseph
PF: Bass     / Sullinger   / Blatche & Andersen?
 C: KG       / Wilcox      / Melo

[Lucky17]

Roster size is 15. Melo and Joseph should both rack up DNPs, leaving one more to sit on the bench.

I think the Celtics still could really use a 3rd string/emergency PG and another 3rd string veteran center.

Leave the remaining roster slot open during the season, in case a veteran gets released and wants to join up for a title chase.

PG: Rondo / Terry / vet PG
SG: Lee / Bradley
SF: Pierce / Green / Joseph
PF: Bass / Wilcox / Sullinger
C: Garnett / vet C / Melo

[mctyson]

It depends who is going over in the trade.

I think they extend vet mins to Pietrus and Dooling if neither are in the S+T.

We could use another big body.  Hate to say it but Ryan Hollins might be back here.

If we could get Stiemer back it would be Danny's best offseason outside of the KG and Ray acquisitions.

[esel1000]

I didnt agree with this before but I think now I'd offer the BAE to Steamer.. it'd be nice to have him for depth

[pearljammer10]

Rondo/Terry
Bradley/Lee
Pierce/Green/Joseph
Bass/Sully
KG/Wilcox/Melo

There is our 12, then:

13. Moore
14. Hopefully Andersen or Darko

[Employee8]

Does that mean Pietrus is now out of our radar?

[JHTruth]

Lee will prob start taking the Ray Allen role. I think we sign one of Steamer/Darko/Blatche and call it an offseason..

[AB_Celtic]

Does that mean Pietrus is now out of our radar?

Pietrus is gone with this 2/3 lineup:

SG: Lee, Bradley, Terry
SF: Pierce, Green, Joseph

[Celtics18]

Does that mean Pietrus is now out of our radar?

I think so.  

I am happy about the reported signing of Courtney Lee.  I think he'll be a big help, but I'm also mourning a little bit over the likely loss of two of my favorites; those two being JaJuan Johnson and Mickael Pietrus.  

[goCeltics]

any big not named ryan hollins

[Donoghus]

Rondo/Terry
Bradley/Lee
Pierce/Green/Joseph
Bass/Sully
KG/Wilcox/Melo

There is our 12, then:

13. Moore
14. Hopefully Andersen or Darko

Yup.  I think it'll look very similar to this come opening night.

[edwardjkasche]

SF: Pierce, Green, Joseph

Why does everyone assume Kris Joseph is sticking around?  He's a 2nd round draft pick.  He needs some seasoning.

I'd much rather have Pietrus this season.

And, Dooling would be terrific as a third-string PG.  And, he's Rondo's friend, which never hurts.  Remember how Rondo talked about him last season?  Dooling was like the only guy he trusted.

For a third-string center, Stiemsma will be terrific, Darko acceptable.

Exactly. Andersen or Blatche

[Change]

Darko.
