I was big on Stiemsa during the first half of the regular season.. he came out of the gate strong, blocking shots and rotating well on defense.... but over the last few months, he looks lost out there and doesn't rebound particularly well and isn't really blocking shots anymore...i'd go so far to say he looks scared sometimes.. unless he comes back for really little money as a third string center, I would not bring him back..

I definitely do not want Brandon Bass next year.. .he has been completely exposed in the playoffs, zero moves and VERY LOW BASKETBALL IQ, making silly fouls, etc.. much like big baby he gets his shot blocked frequently under the basket... Id also like to know why Sasha pavlovic doesn't get any playing time in these playoffs.. he's a decent defender and doesn't make some of the silly fouls that pietrus and bass make... he needs to get in the rotation in the rest of this series.. don't want marquis daniels back either...

Given that around 8 of the celtics are free agents and with two first rounders, the celtics have a real opportunity to re-tool for next year and even make another run... I hope doc doesn't talk ainge into re-signing "players that he likes"...

Thoughts?
