Free Agents

Tillman? Kornet? Q? I'm thinking these guys could have made more outside of BOS.

That tells us something about the lockerroom and the organization. And it tells us about their character as well -- money isn't everything.

The Boston Celtics is not a just team of basketball players, but is a world wide family of individuals who bleed green and follow the team through thick and thin. No such thing as fair weather Celtics fans.

It's a make it or break it year for Davison. Show us you belong.

Right now we have Davison and Peterson on two way contracts. I believe we're at 14 on our roster.

I did not know that. I guess we will have room for one more vet min deal then. Gordon Hayward come on down!!

There's still some pretty decent options out there. I assume Stevens has contacted all agents about minimum contracts and it's just a waiting game now. But I'm not sure how many teams have cap space they want to use. I feel like the market has been set surprisingly low this year. I also feel like our youth isn't showing enough. I'm just guessing Brad is offering even worse than a vet minimum. He's probably offering it as non guaranteed so he can waive a guy if he needs to or trade him away easily. That will mean we'll really have to wait a ways. I'm thinking Gordan Hayward might retire or play overseas before he did that. I'm not looking forward to another Delano Blanton signing, but maybe that's how this will ultimately go. Might just leave the spot open and rely heavily on our two way guys before that happens.

I also think the taxes in MA are rough and guys have to think about that. Hopefully the prospect of playoff checks and an expensive ring might change some of their minds.
