So if you're Sterling, you'd rather just let Sam rot on the Clippers and pay him the rest of his 07-08 salary in full? You wouldn't want to save a million dollars or more? You wouldn't want to please the agent of your team's superstar?

Oh, I didn't know this was a blog report. I can't trust this. I have to see official news from a newspaper or something of that sort. With that said, I hope the Celtics do get him. That is one of the missing pieces they need.

This isn't your typical blog: it's run by the Celtics Boston Globe writers and it's reliable. It's as good as a newspaper report.

Completely forgot.

So the team's biggest weakness, depth or lack thereof, suddenly turns out to be one of their strengths. Amazing.

Well it is a double edged sword. I can tell you that since Doc had been here he has been very loyal to vets playing them regardless of production and also at times has done worse with more options. We have a weird history of young players playing well immediately after the vet in front of them gets injured.

Boston has become a really deep team. As if they weren't already a force to reckon with. Now they have 4 guys who they know they can go to in the clutch.

The Celtics make the Golden Girls look young.

It feels great too. The last few years when they've been one of the younger teams in the league I have looked at older teams and been jealous. Old players win!
