Charlie Bell would be a good addition, as a backup two-guard though which is also a position of need. I'm not sure as a point guard. Has he even played point guard before? Not that a playmaker is really needed at the position. The last thing this teams need is someone who is going to prevent the big three from playing a lot of two man/three man games and wants to orchestrate everything. The big three are all good playmakers and fundamentally sound. I say just get them the ball and get out of the way. I hope Rondo doesn't dribble the ball until there's 13 seconds left on the shot clock like he frequently does.

I say no to Boykins too. As rootable as an underdog as he is, I always got the sense that he thought he was the best pound for pound player on the court. Not that the mindset isn't admirable or understandable, but it's made him a selfish player. The guy chucks up shots in a flurry and he doesn't contribute much passing or defense.

It would be nice to get Jarrett Jack away from Portland, something that might be doable with all the point guards they have. Unfortunately, it doesn't look like the Celtics have anything to offer. Maybe Beno Udrih and Juan Carlos Navarro, but again, there isn't much to offer.

ESPN has Gomes in the deal.

Ainge better start looking for players 5 through 8. 'Cause you guys have no one left.

I guess your owners don't care about the tax. Because KGs kicker takes him to nearly 29 million, which is why you had to add Gomes.

Then, you'll need some depth which means the MLE and or LLE. You're looking at 70+ million. Looks like the Atlantic got a lot more fun this summer.

i think charlie bell, eddie jones and then one of PJ brown or Webber would fill the bench very well (and cheaply)

sign bell for one year and see if cassel wants to make another run next season when hes a FA

Stop spreading misinformation.

Notes:

... Salary cap raises of 2.5% each season, which is a conservative figure since raises usually end up being 5% the previous season due to increases in the BRI.
... Garnett lowers his trade kicker to 1.751935M in order to make the deal compatible with the traded player exception [80% - $100,000] since Ratliff, Telfair, Jefferson, Green, and Gomes combine for 18.921548M [23.751935 maximum incoming].
... Garnett agrees to a reported three-year, sixty million dollar contract extension.
... The Celtics do not tender Tony Allen's '08-'09 qualifying offer due to his inability to effectively recover from his torn ACL.
... Pierce picks up his '10-'11 player option.
... The Celtics exercise Rondo's '08-'09 and '09-'10 team option.
... The Celtics sign Gabe Pruitt and Glen Davis to two year, minimum contracts.

Hassan Adams is a player I hope interests the Celtics. The Nets recently released him and I'm not sure why. He wasn't great but he had his moments the brief time he played. He's a good defender and can hit an open jumpshot. Not a bad guy to come off the bench, to defend and give energy. Another similar player is James Singleton.

Ok, while I am ecstatic about acquiring KG, I'm very nervous at the same time. After we acquired Ray Allen, we had a very solid core 3 of Pierce, Allen, and Jefferson (who was on track to being a 20/10/2 guy this season). At the same time, we had a developing cast of players including Green and Gomes. Now, we have KG, but no Jefferson, Green, or Gomes (and no Telfair, Ratliff or 2 future 1st round picks).. I mean, don't get me wrong, we're gonna be a sick team, and we'll probably win 55 or so games, and maybe even get to the finals, but the risk is so huge and we've been left with 3 superstars and really not much else.

Post-Allen and Pre-Garnett meant the worst defensive team of all-time. Now, the defense is average and the scoring is among the league's best.

There is no reason that the Celtics cant make the playoffs if this deal gets done. Having 3 stars and being in the east should automatically scream playoffs. The Celtics need someone like KG because he would give them a big chance to go back to there glory days as long as he gets talent surounded by him.
