Around SBN: 7 Important Questions About The Heat Vs. Celtics Series

No Other Invites

Marc Spears reports:

Free throws: The Celtics have 16 players on their training camp roster and no more will be added, general manager Danny Ainge said. Sam Cassell and newcomer Darius Miles do not have guaranteed contracts. Even so, the Celtics might waive another player with a low contract or make a trade to accommodate both Cassell and Miles (the roster limit is 15). "We've got a month to find out," Ainge said

Also, most likely not related to the Celtics...

An Eastern Conference executive said don't be surprised if a notable trade or two is made during the preseason. We say keep an eye on Marbury, Nets forward Vince Carter, Heat forward Shawn Marion, Nuggets guard Allen Iverson, and Warriors forward Al Harrington

Wouldn’t mind trading Scal and someone out west for Al Harrington for a backup SF spot would help us with the 3’s the Posey made

Wait I’m confused I don’t remember us actually offering Cassell a contract. Originally I thought if we made a trade it would involve BBD or Powe, but with Perk not being healthy during camp I think we have to keep both. I think unless Pruitt really shines in camp him and Scal should go. You don’t need youth at the pg position when you already have Rondo.

The Celtics are inviting one too many (Cassell) to training camp as it is. Why not leave Cassell at home and bring in a FA big man until Perkins is able to play?

I’m worried about those trades, they could put alot of eastern conference teams over the top.

It would appear that despite the unavailability of Darius Miles for the first 10 games (i.e., his “drug” suspension) that he is being seriously considered for making the team. Earlier reports by both Ainge and Cassell mentioned that Sam’s signing was imminent (whatever that means).

I still believe that if Darius remains healthy through the preseason and if Cassell is signed then Gabe Pruitt is history.

I didn’t know Cassell’s deal was non-guaranteed. That’s interesting.

His chances of making the roster might be lower than I had thought, why else make it non-guaranteed?

Yeah, Mosqq, I was thinking the same thing.

Would love Harrington, but who would we send them to match salaries? He makes 9.2 mil this year.

This is the problem when your team is made up of three big salaries, and the rest all under 5 mil.
