So Shelden Williams is going to be a Celtic.  And with another addition to the completely revamped Celtics bench, it's a good time to take a look at what we've got.  Lucky for me, CSNNE has done the work for me.  Here are the current guaranteed contracts on the team: Paul Pierce Ray Allen Kevin [...]

Both Danny Ainge and Wyc Grousbeck came out yesterday and said Glen Davis is part of the Celtics future plans. First Danny in today's Globe: “We like him and want him back,’’ Ainge said about Davis. “We’re trying to get Glen back. We’re planning on having Glen back.’’ Then Wyc on WEEI: “We are continuing [...]

We keep looking for little glimmers of goodness from the typical pile of ugliness that is Summer League basketball.  It's understandable.  On the one hand, we've got us fans… who are desperately looking for any sign at all that guys like Gabe Pruitt, Lester Hudson, or Bill Walker have figured something out and will help [...]

I was originally upset that I missed the first half of the first Celtics summer league game.  Then I realized that the camera angle you see in that screen grab is the only camera angle in the web broadcast.  From what I could gather… Gabe Pruitt did some good things… Mike Sweetney was pretty decent [...]

A lot of names have been thrown around lately.  But now that free agency is starting to shake out a little… let's take a look at where we stand right now.Starters: Rondo, Ray, Pierce, Perk, KG The signing of Rasheed Wallace makes Perk, KG and Sheed interchangeable.  But Perk's greatest success comes alongside KG.  Plus, [...]

So we've been going nuts today with the Rasheed Wallace/Leon Powe stories… we almost overlooked the fact that Lester Hudson was in town today. He did the whole 'hold up the jersey' thing (he'll wear #26)… he took (and made) a lot of jumpers in a few shooting drills… and he said all the right [...]

The Celtics have surfaced as potential suitors for Memphis' #2 pick in the draft: As the rumor mill churns, the Griz have been approached by several teams about acquiring the second overall pick. Boston, Houston and New York are said to be among the most recent suitors. Boston and Houston would likely have to offer [...]

The NBA draft is 18 days away, and the Celtics have what amounts to a throw-away pick at #58 overall (Minnesota has our #1 pick via the Garnett trade)… but don't expect Danny Ainge to do absolutely nothing.  As was noted in the Herald today, NBA Draft day is essentially Danny Ainge day.  Take a [...]

Chuck's Take: Expectations were low for Celtics rookie class of 2008. Good thing, because we got very little in return. Bill Walker is loaded with talent and potential. He has a bigger upside than 1st round pick J.R. Giddens. Walker didn't see much court time until KG went down in February. When he did take [...]
