Defend title No. 17!

EDIT: Changed name of thread; we only need one Celts thread, not one for each season.

I'll just do what I usually do when a new Sox thread is started, and keep it simple:

Go Celtics.

Dope!

from boston.com:

"Celtics free agent James Posey signed a four-year deal with New Orleans today, according to his agent Mark Bartelstien."

Now, who do we get to replace Posey? Can he be replaced?

That's the 24 million dollar question...literally. If they decide to re-up Tony Allen and he stays healthy I really believe Tony can replace Posey's defense. Tony might even grow to be a better defender. The clutch 3 point shooting....yikes I don't know. A lot of guys can shoot the long ball but to hit the shot when it counts. Whoever they get we won't know how clutch they are till it really matters. I find it hard to believe that anyone knew Posey was a clutch as he was till last season. Yeah he won in Miami but he wasn't as big a piece in that run as he was with the Celts.

An interesting guy may be Bonzi Well...complete head case but a real scorer. He can score on the block better than anyone the Celts have and he can knock down the outside shot(well sometimes). I was hoping they would get James Jones for his shooting but the Heat grabbed him.

Will Tony Allen ever "mentally" recover from that knee injury? He still tends to dunk with two feet and he can't shoot. If T or Rondo develops a 3-point shot, then we might be OK.

Tyronn Lue hoped to join the Celtics before signing a two-year, $5 million contract with Milwaukee yesterday.
Lue said he would have joined the Celtics for $1.8 million annually, but the Celtics held firm on a one-year, $1.2 million (the veteran minimum) offer.

"I'm disappointed," Lue said. "We were trying to get it done there for so long. I don't know why an extra [$600,000] was a big deal. I would have taken less than I took with Milwaukee. But they didn't want to do it." -- The Boston Globe

reminds me of steinbrenner saying that the sox wouldn't go above and beyond for their fans

a cornrowed 5ft tall girl wasn't going to be a difference maker on the celtics so i'm not worried

Eddie House and Tony Allen reportedly won't be following James Posey out of Boston. The Boston Herald reported Monday that House and Allen, two key bench pieces of the Celtics' championship team, agreed to two-year deals with Boston.

Celtics executive director of basketball operations Danny Ainge wouldn't be specific on the financial terms of the deals, but a source told the Herald that both players would be paid over $2 million per season.

Last week, the 31-year-old Posey left the Celtics to sign a four-year, $25 million contract with the New Orleans Hornets.

House, 30, averaged 7.5 points in 78 games and was a 39 percent shooter from 3-point range. In the Finals victory over the Lakers, House averaged 8.0 points and shot 41 percent from beyond the 3-point line.

Allen, 26, averaged 6.6 points in 75 games for Boston last season.
