I’d just like to state what i believe the Celtics should do this off season and see if any of it makes sense to people.

Don’t trade Rondo or Allen.

Keep them through this year then resign both with the same amount of money next year. Rondo isn’t going to get anything more than a 10 mil offer from any team next off season (if that because of the economy and the amount of great players already out there next off season) And Ray has already said that he wants to end his career in Boston so he may be willing to take a pay cut next year (Possibly down to 12 mil) which then if you combine the two amounts would equal about what they’re making combined this year. ( I know that’s going on the assumption that Ray will take that much less but maybe he will if the C’s are loyal to him now.)

Sign a good (youngish) wing or backup PG.

There are some great Free Agents out there that likely are going to go at a good Price. (Jamario Moon, Anthony parker, Desmond Mason, Matt Barnes, Keith Bogans, Jarett jack)

Sign a veteran Backup

(Grant Hill, Antonio McDyss, Michael Finley, Drew Gooden) This veteran leadership and consistancy is what the C’s were missing this last year.

Bring Back Gerald Green.

For the cheap price that the C’s could sign him for and his always palpable “Upside” maybe bringing him back under the leadership of a guy like KG who came out of HS too, he could become what he should be, a great player (It would be worth the risk)

Resign Leon Powe but Let baby Go:

Leon can be had for cheap becasue of his injury and Baby will likely go for too much. Unless maybe they can get him for 3 mil or can use him in a sign and trade.

Let Eddie go if he wants to. They’d save money and could spend it wiser.

Here’s What i hope their roster will be next year.

C Perkins
F Garnett
F Pierce
G Allen
G Rondo

F Grant Hill
F Antonio McDyess
G jarett Jack
F Bill Walker
G Tony Allen
C Steven Hunter
F Scal
F Powe
G Pruitt
G Giddens

i know it’s unlikely that the C’s could sign all four of those Free Agents but with the combined numbers of Eddie’s 2.9 mil Baby’s 700 grand, they could sign one and a half of them with that, then use the exemption to sign the other and then Steven Hunter would be a good defensive big to get under 1 mil.

Thanks for letting me vent
