Scott’s Shots has got a nice piece on Spears: I think it is going to be great to have his experience and enthusiasm on the beat.

On Posey….

If JPosey is leaving the Heat for better offers we can pretty much discount the possibility that he is comming to Boston. I mean, really, is Danny willing to out-bid NJ or any one else on this guy?…say 5Mil?… I don’t think so.

Golden State’s Mikael Pietrus would be a great pick up for us, lots of energy, very good defender and excels in the open court. I know we are talking $$$$ but at some point we might have to bite the bullet and pay the luxury tax.

If we ever decide to run with some of the 2nd unit: Rondo, healthy Tony Allen, and Pietrus are the kind of guys that will give us cheap fast break buckets against other team’s second units.

IMO the Celts can’t worry about taking their time with this 3-4 year window; I think they had better strike asap. Bulls, Raptors, Magic are all going to be better in 2 years, and if Cavs can give Lebron a good supporting cast, the East is going to be more up for grabs than it is now.

Luxury tax or not, we need a player(s)like Pietrus to help anchor the second unit

Why do we need Posey when we have Leon Powe. He had a strong showing in the Vegas summer league. He is deserving of more minutes. What we need is a playoff experienced point guard. It looks though like we are 6 million over the cap for this year lol. Ok plan B. Open Tryouts for the backup Point Guard slot
