No one knows exactly when to start the NBA season.
Despite the uncertainty, the Boston Celtics no different than most teams in the NBA when it comes to the several plans on how the free will that shortly after 1 July will begin to be attacked.
Unlike the last two seasons, the C the need during the off season in the little free agent market that will reinforce a position or two.
This season is a different story.
Boston has only five players on the books with guaranteed contracts for next season. This sum does not include Ray Allen, who is expected at its option for next season worth $ 10,000,000.
The Celtics will look at first some of their needs through the draft of an address in the next month.
But the success of this team next season will depend largely on the ability of C to the acquisition of talent through free will, can take some pressure off the Big Three of Allen, Kevin Garnett and Paul Pierce.
Also, Rajon Rondo, the youngest member of the core group of the Celtics could use some support.
After losing only 12 games in his first four seasons with the C's, Rondo missed 14 games last season with a variety of injuries. Although it has not lost any game in the playoffs, Rondo injured his left elbow dislocated in Game 3 of the series' second-round effects from Boston to Miami, an injury that left him essentially as a base with an arm in the other two games.
Due to the age of Rondo (25) and experience (73 playoff games more than anyone what kind of project 2006), finding a good backup you can do things at the same time, he takes time out is not to be taken lightly.
The Celtics hoped Delonte West was the man to fill that gap last season. But various injuries to the west, a limited career low in 24 games last season. The rookie Avery Bradley was not finished. The former Celtic Nate Robinson had a shot at the job, but it was clear he was a better fit of the ball game before trading in the city C Oklahoma.
As Rondo has played more minutes than any other Celtic, signing a young player comes is not necessarily the most appropriate on the back.
The C's are probably an experienced player who is willing to accept limited minutes on the bench.
Although you do not find too many familiar names - OK, there are no known names - in the foundations of the free agent pool backup, there are some decent, is certainly available, which could provide a lift for the Celtics.
Carlos Arroyo (Miami / Boston), Jose Juan Barea (Dallas), Loi Acie (Golden State), TJ Ford (Indiana), Mario Chalmers (Miami), Mike Bibby (Miami), Earl Boykins (Milwaukee), Marcus Banks (Toronto ), Anthony Carter (New York), * Antonio Daniels (Philadelphie), Aaron Brooks * (Phoenix) Patrick Mills * (Portland), Chris Quinn (San Antonio), Ronnie Price (Utah), Earl Watson (Utah).
The best of the group: Brooks, Barea, Chalmers, Ford and Watson.
Why Ford: Why is the speed and Rondo , but with a better bridge is a nice change to have to throw against teams of 15 minutes, or no Rondo on the ground things a bit boring, sometimes almost the end of his term .. be in Indiana, the opportunity to be part of a winning organization like Boston him and his career would be very good. The main obstacle to C? What else? money. Even reflected when a new collective agreement this is the C's who have difficulties in fitting the Ford to pay with a backup point guard slot.
Why Arroyo: It was a solid ready when the interpreter in C last year, and have no problem Back Rondo. However, when the opportunity to play a greater role than elsewhere, but it came with a team of more than one way, it would be a tough, tough for this veteran of eight years. Wherever you go, probably Arroyo for a minimum of veterans, the Celtics means in financial terms, it can not compete with another person for their services.
Why Daniels: The Boston Celtics have interest in him was before the signing of Arroyo in March. A good size, athleticism and decent has to be a strong local character area. The two biggest blows to Daniels, is that it is a restricted free agent, and age. It was essentially a breach replacement for Louis Williams. So if the Sixers to keep it decide you want to remember to watch the team's third point, that no season it mean that someone is injured, a similar role in the Celtics with respect to Avery Bradley will be developed or how the C sign Delonte West.
With the Celtics push hard, athletic, we must also ask whether the Celtics to the point of having a constant presence behind Rondo and Daniels that athletics is not nearly what it was in the early to see in his career.
