With all of the talk this summer revolving
around Posey, House, Allen, and the shallow free agent
pool, not much has been discussed about the return of the Celtics' coaches next season. Not to worry, as it sounds like everyone is expected to return (according to Danny Ainge). From the Globe: Ainge's next order of business will be to settle the contract situations of Rivers and assistants ...

Tony was in town to sign his contract
yesterday, so the local scribes all have stories on
him.
"What if I beg? Will that bring old
Tony back?" (Boston Globe Photo) Let’s hope so. I’m
not sure what can be said about Tony Allen that hasnt’ been said. He’s getting $5 mil. over 2 years… and he’s either going to be a steal or a bona fide bust by the time the contract is over. I don’t see any real middle ground, because we’ve ...

The Celtics have lost James Posey but gained
a new and improved Tony Allen.
I can’t say that I didn’t see this
coming , but I thought that Danny Ainge had
lured away Meghan from the New England Patriots, which would then clear the way for Quinn Kingston to join the squad a la Kevin Garnett. But oh no, the NBA executive ...
Yesterday I left off saying we have to
see who else the Celtics sign before training camp,
but after looking at the roster and reading Ainge's comments I realized that we well might be looking at the opening day squad for these '08-09 Boston ...
A lot of what this team still needs
depends upon how good Patrick O'Bryant really is this
year. If he can't give us productive minutes backing up Perk, we're stuck with smallball and forcing KG to guard centers. If he can develop into a solid option, that shores up the 4 and 5 positions quite nicely. Is Danny ready to roll the dice on that chance? Not just yet.
According to the Boston Herald , both Eddie
House and Tony Allen have agreed to re-sign with
the Celtics. I think this is very good news. Tony Allen and Eddie House are staying in the fold. According to Danny Ainge, the Celtics have agreed to terms with each on two-year contracts.

Here's John Hollinger's take on the Posey deal
: It's true that Posey brings three things to
the table: defense, rebounding and 3-point shooting. He's not an all-defense guy, but he's an above-average defender who can play multiple positions, and that's certainly helpful. So are the 3s -- in his past three campaigns he's hit 40.3 percent, 37.5 percent and 38.0 percent from downtown. And ...

market, but today they were able to retain a

According to Danny Ainge, the Celtics have agreed
to terms with each on two-year contracts. Ainge would
not be specific on the financial figures, but according to a source, both are being paid in the mid-$2 million range. In the case of House, the money is roughly half the mid-level exception of $5.585 million. The Celtics did not have to use the mid-level on Allen, because he has Bird Rights

When I was growing up, like a lot
of kids I collected baseball cards. I'd open up
a package of 1987 Topps and flip through the cards thinking got it, got it, got it, need it, got it, need it, etc. (I was sure that that Mark McGwire rookie card was going to be worth a fortune 20 years later). This point in the offseason feels a little like that. We have some holes in our lineup due to free ...
