Sports of Boston concludes its free agency preview with a look at the front-court players available.

Last season the Celtics’ went into training camp with four serviceable big men to patrol the middle. Shaquille O’Neal is now retired. Kendrick Perkins is kicking it with his buddies Russell Westbrook and Kevin Durant. Semih Erden is in Cleveland trying to keep Baron Davis away from cheeseburgers. That leaves Boston with Jermaine O’Neal as their only true center.

Last season, O’Neal appeared in just 24 regular season games because of injuries. If the Celtics’ want to challenge for a title once more with the current group of guys, they’re going to need a few more big men to patrol the paint.

Below are a few bruisers that could really help this year’s Celtics team guard the painted area.

Sports of Boston continues its three-part preview of the 2011-12 Celtics roster and possible free-agent moves. Today, we’ll look at the guards.

The depth chart in the back-court for 2011-2012 Boston Celtics currently looks something like this:

PG: Rajon Rondo, Avery Bradley

SG: Ray Allen, E’Twaun Moore

If the Celtics can resign Delonte West that would help the outlook on things considerably, but that still leaves the team with just three guards they know what to expect from. At 36 years old, Ray Allen is going to need to average under 30 minutes a game during the regular season if he is to be expected to chase Dwayne Wade around in the playoffs.

Former teammates Terrell Owens and Chad Ochocinco maybe reunited in New England. (Shannon J. Owens/Sentinel)

Could it be?

Prior to the Patriots 38-20 beat down against the Philadelphia Eagles, Drew Rosenhaus was seen on the Patriots sideline. Earlier Sunday, Rosenhaus said that one team is very interested in his client — Terrell Owens.

Is it a coincidence that Rosenhaus roamed the New England sideline? Or could Owens join the Patriots?

Last season Owens played in 14 games for the Cincinnati Bengals where he caught 72 passes and nine touchdowns. If the 37-year-old outside threat wasn’t coming off a big knee injury then the Patriots would be stupid to not give him a look.

PFW says Tom Brady is suffering from an injury to his elbow. (AP Photo/Elise Amendola)

According to Pro Football Weekly, a source close to the Patriots says that Tom Brady has tennis elbow.

Eric Edholm, of PFW, looked more in-depth to what tennis elbow was:

Also known as lateral epicondylitis, tennis elbow is a painful inflammation of the tendons that join the forearm muscles on the outside of the elbow, according to the official website of the American Academy of Orthopedic Surgeons. It most often comes as a result of overuse.

Typically, surgery is not needed for tennis elbow, a common ailment in athletes, unless it is chronically persistent. Brady should be able to play through the injury readily provided he can tolerate the pain.

On the season, Brady has passed for 3,266 yards and 25 touchdowns. His 10 interceptions, are more than double then what No. 12 had last season.
