The Celtics are still a contender for the NBA championship and team president Danny Ainge's plan is to add a veteran or two that can help the team.
The Boston Globe lists Delonte West, a former Celtic, Shaquille O'Neal and Roger Mason as possibilities.
West is expected to be waived by Minnesota in the next few days and O'Neal wants to play for a contender and has only a few options at this time.
The Celtics are also looking at bringing back Eddie House and Michael Finley. ESPN
I would be so happy if the Celtics brought in Shaq and Delonte. I would be perfectly happy if that is how our offseason wrapped up. Delonte (although crazy) is a good player and a good shooter, when we got rid of him for Ray Allen, I felt really bad because he loved it here in Boston, and if we can give him another opportunity that would be great. He would be a great 2 for our second unit, he's a fiesty defender, a good shot and a reliable free throw shooter.
And Shaq will be a great option too. Once Perk gets healthy and if we get him our bigs will be, Perk, Baby, Jermaine O'Neal and Shaq. Not bad on paper, huh? If this pans out and we do get those 2 guys, we would have had the second best offseason to the Heat.
