Who'd like to see Gallo in green?

1. Which East team should be looking to make a move?

Tom Haberstroh: Danilo Gallinari to the Celtics. Sure, Cousins represents the big whale for Boston, but Gallo could be more realistic. He may not be trade-eligible until February, but for a rebuilding organization in Denver, the Celtics have just what the Nuggets need: a trove of picks and youngsters to plant new seeds.

Our own Kevin O'Connor first mentioned Gallinari as an option for the Celtics back in July.

Ray Allen got the itch when he watched the Finals

I didn't miss it. I realized how much time I missed not being home with my kids. I probably missed it in the Finals. Watching Cleveland and Golden State play, it just seemed like an epic battle that required a lot of precision on the floor and that's when I felt, that was probably the only time that I felt like, 'Man, I should have been out there

Danny Ainge thinks Brad Stevens will end up as one of the coaching greats

15

Brad is one of the smartest coaches in the NBA. He’s learning the game still. But he’s a tireless worker, he’s a great communicator. It's exciting for me that Brad is getting the accolades that he’s getting. We’ve always known that about Brad. He’s going to have some ups and downs through his coaching career, but, it’s my opinion that, in 10 or 20 years from now, we’ll be talking about Brad as one of the great coaches to ever coach in the NBA

Why Amir Johnson chose #90

+

"Every number, 1 to 34, is basically retired," said Johnson.... "My [last] number [15] of course was retired [for Tommy Heinsohn]. I recently posted a picture on my social network, I don’t know if you guys checked it out, it was a team back in the '90s -- like ’97, ’96 -- that I played for. My first organized basketball team which was the Burbank [Calif.] Celtics. It was a Celtics team, so I just kind of put that together." Then Johnson bottom-lined it: "The '90s were good. I was born in '87 but the '90s were good."
