Boston Herald -
In a rather amazing turn of events, Boston has suddenly become a desirable city for NBA free agents. Agents for legitimate veteran players were actually calling the Celtics yesterday, looking to place their clients in Boston as news of Kevin Garnett’s arrival spilled out further.

Presently, agents and league sources confirm that the Celts are looking at four point guards and five big men as they try to find the right players to support their talented trio.

Eddie House, Troy Hudson, Brevin Knight and Charlie Bell are reportedly on the point guard list. Bell is a restricted free agent, which makes his situation a little different (Milwaukee can match any offer he gets). Hudson had his contract bought out by the Timberwolves yesterday, making him a free agent. And while the C’s were previously steering away from Knight because of alleged locker room issues, a source said, “Hey, just about everyone that’s out there now has (a few) spots.”

As for big men, Doc Rivers said the Celts are “very interested” in Dikembe Mutombo as a backup center, while P.J. Brown, Michael Ruffin, Calvin Booth and Scot Pollard are also under consideration. [READ]

Mt. Mutombo = instant championship. Gotta give it up for Deke. He looks like he's 50, still can play, though.

They should sign Knight at the point, and PJ Brown.
Play KG at the Center, and PJ at the 4.

Hmmm. That reminds me. Doc Rivers will still be the coach?

I said they should do the exact same thing yesterday :http://www.ultimateknicks.com/forum/topic.asp?t=22743&page=1
They go out and use their money wisely sign guys like Brevin Knight(still out there), PJ Brown, Derek Anderson...solid veterans who don't cost much-which is VERY possible, Boston can beeven more of a favorite to come out of the East.

They get a few solid vets they can realistically be seen as the favorites to come out of the east.

If they get the right components I'll finally bow down to the mighty celts, but there isn't much out there for them.

These guys are calling the Celts because they have open roster spots, not because they are a great team.
Alan Hahn: Nate Robinson has been on a ridonkulous scoring tear lately (remember when he couldn't hit Jerome James with a Big Mac in early January?)

Based on that picture and knowing Oden's age, we can rightly assume that Dikembe Mutombo is only 7 years old.

Not a great team yet, we have to wait until they play to give them that title. But on paper, they are a great team, espcecially if you add some key vet guys like a pj brown, brevin knight, and some of those other good role player guys. What more do you need, 3 all stars that play different positions/roles with role guys.


Boston will compete for the next 4 years strong.

NY can only continue to hope guys like Curry, Lee, Balkman, Nate, Craw continue to develop. I would like to give this kid nichols a shot at success.

Because they have open roster spots, sure. But also, if everything clicks, they get to gun for a title.
