I like Brooks, Kelly and Sully, think they can grow into something good.

Larry Bird


After that I'd go Rondo and after him I'd go Bradley. But I'm trying to not get attached to any of them right now seeing that they could be gone at any time.

All time?
1. Bird
2. KG
3. Russell

Currently?

Already KO. He hasn't played a game in the NBA yet and has a lot to learn, but he's a natural, infectious leader who, as they say, "works hard and plays the game right".

Rondo may officially be named captain this year, but by next year, no kidding, I expect this to be Olynyk's team.

Too early to tell for this year but from last years holdovers Rondo, Bradley and Jeff Green in that order. From this year, Olynyk and Pressey so far.

Going forward I also have my eye on Faverani and Sullinger.

Good question. I think I'd have to qualify to answer.

I am most intrigued by Kris Humphries and think his game will translate well to both Rondo's pace and style of play and Brad Stevens system.

I am excited for the growth and bust out potential of Avery Bradley and Jeff Green. Avery Bradley is a fringe blue chipper and Jeff Green will have more freedom in this system than the previous.

My favorite trade chip is Jared Sullinger. I have long felt that he was/is a disingenuous person and his recently legal trouble has brought to light a part of his character that he may be trying to mask. I think you could get real talent for him if he has a healthy, breakout year, perhaps for a player who fits the system a bit better like a Fareid (just an idea since they will have to pay him and he's going to be difficult to value)

Finally, I am loyal to Rajon Rondo. I just haven't seen the value in any of the trade ideas with him. He is a fringe top 3-5 player at arguably the most stacked and talented position in the Association. He is cerebral, he performs on the national stage and he has a chance to go down as the greatest point guard in Celtic history. I believe in Rajon Rondo.

Rondo -- Current (no one else even in the running)

Pierce -- All time favorite

Havlicek -- second all time favorite

Bird -- third all-time favorite

Jeff Green and KO

used to be Rondo....but he took too many games off effort-wise the past few seasons.
Larry Bird was Greater than you think.

I don't really have a strong attachment to any of the current players.  I'd be fine seeing any of them traded, so long as we got good value.

By default I guess the answer is Rondo, and I like how Avery plays, but I'm not all that emotionally invested in either of them.

I usually don't pick favorite players.  But, there was something about Perk that just got to me.  He's still my favorite player in the league. 

All time favorite Celtics I'd go with Loscy, Bird, McHale. 

Current team,  I like Sully a lot and I like what I have seen from Kelly also.
