With Doc Rivers coming back and Paul Pierce signing a 4 year 61 million dollar deal with a no trade clause it looks as if the band is getting back together one more time. I bet Ray Allen comes back too, but I really see him making no more than 5 million on a two year deal. I know other teams will offer him more than that, but I do believe he will come back to Boston taking less money. If that's the case we still have the 5 guys who started the NBA finals going into next year. Now Danny needs to pull off some magic to fill in the role players. I have heard rumors of trading Rasheed's expiring contract to the Suns for Leandro Barbosa and making a run at Rudy Fernandez. I know we need bigs, but I believe these two guys would fit in nicely as the Celtics backcourt backups. If we trade Rasheed's contract we still have a full mid level exception. And in a perfect world we could use that on Branden Haywood and Brad Miller, and then resign Tony Allen and I would be pretty confident in that team. The Depth chart would be:
PG: Rajon Rondo: Leandro Barbosa, Avery Bradley
SG: Ray Allen: Tony Allen, Rudy Fernandez
SF: Paul Pierce: Tony Allen
PF: Kevin Garnett: Brad Miller, Luke Hargodany(?)
C: Kendrick Perkins: Brandon Haywood
I'd take that in a second. That team would be deep and ready to go for another run. Again, that's in a perfect world though.
