After Danny Ainge pulled the trigger on the deadline day trade that sent Kendrick Perkins and Nate Robinson to the Thunder in exchange for Jeff Green and Nenad Krstic, the Celtics suddenly became dangerously thin at the big man position.

In ancient Greece, the greatest men were immortalized by having statues erected in their likeness. In the world of Boston sports, there may not be a man more deserving of this honor than Celtic great Bill Russell.

With NBA lockout negotiations not going so well, Celtics captain Paul Pierce is looking to make money through other avenues. Incredibly, Pierce spent $10,000 to enter himself into the World Series of Poker tournament in Las Vegas, and outlasted more than half of the field of 2,031 (he spent a total of 17 hours, 40 [...]

2011 Celtics Free Agent Reports: Arroyo, Murphy, Pavlovic, Wafer

By ⋅ May 28, 2011 ⋅ Post a comment

Perhaps the guys who are in limbo the most are the guys who saw little to no time. Carlos Arroyo, Troy Murphy and Sasha Pavlovic were all mid-season pick-ups and all three will most likely not be returning to the Celtics next year. Von Wafer, on the other hand, has a chance to be back [...]

Delonte West missed most of the regular season with a wrist injury, but when the playoffs came around West was a key player off the bench. In the playoffs, West averaged 19 minutes a game, scoring 6.6 points and shooting 47% from the field. The Celtics have to re-sign Delonte West for a couple reasons. [...]

2011 Celtics Free Agent Report: Glen ‘Big Baby’ Davis

By ⋅ May 25, 2011 ⋅ Post a comment

Glen Davis would be a whole lot richer if NBA GMs ignored this past postseason. Davis was a candidate for sixth man of the year after averaging 11.7 points and 5.4 rebounds. Then, the playoffs came and Davis fell apart, as he averaged just 4.9 points and 3.6 rebounds and possibly cost himself millions of [...]

2011 Celtics Free Agent Report: Shaquille O’Neal

By ⋅ May 24, 2011 ⋅ Post a comment

We recently learned that Shaquille O’Neal’s mom thinks her son may return for one more NBA season. Shaq, like Ray Allen, has a player option to return to the Celtics, but unlike Allen, I do not see Shaq returning. Yes, Shaq has said that he wants to play one more year, but the real question is [...]

2011 Celtics Free Agent Report: Ray Allen

By ⋅ May 23, 2011 ⋅ One comment

The 2011-2012 Celtics may look much different than the current C’s. The NBA lockout may have something to say about that.
