Avery Bradley News

Say what you want about DMC, "crazy, headcase, bad locker room guy" but...DMC is probably the best center in the NBA and certainly has the biggest up side/talent. DMC can do it all at the 5 spot and there is not a center in the league that he would be over matched by...and he is only 22/23 years old.

The first domino to fall this offseason is Paul Pierce's contract. Until Danny Ainge figures out what he's doing there, little else matters.

I spent much of the day watching the draft combine. The Celtics have just one pick in this draft, barring Danny making a trade or buying another pick, as he did when the Celtics nabbed Rondo.

The first domino to fall this offseason is Paul Pierce's contract. Until Danny Ainge figures out what he's doing there, little else matters.

Doc Rivers is off on a golf course somewhere, pondering his future with the Celtics and asking for time to think.

Newly hired general manager Ryan McDonough. According to reports from the Arizona Republic, McDonough has already started to hand out pink slips to some of former GM Lance Blanks' staff members.

As far back as last year, when Rajon Rondo was named to the NBA's all-defensive second team for the second time - he was a first-teamer in 2010 and '11 - the Celtics point guard wasn't even considered the best defensive guard on his own team.

It was a tough season for the Boston Celtics, and that includes for head coach Doc Rivers.

Former Celtic Tony Allen, now with the Memphis Grizzlies, led the first team with more votes than any other player.

Keep it together or blow it up? That's what everyone is asking these days, though it's a question that has been on people's minds for a few years.

An NBA season can be a puzzling thing. The Boston Celtics finished their 2012-13 campaign when they lost to the New York Knicks in a six-game conference quarterfinals match.

The offseason came early for the Celtics, and Danny Ainge has begun the process of evaluating the 2013 NBA Draft entrants.

Though he held onto the current Celtics era longer than anyone anticipated - remember that he would have brought back Ray Allen last summer if the guard was willing - Ainge can't keep his hands off the engine.

A long draining season has come to an end. There has been very little time for reflection in the interim, since the future holds so many questions for the Boston Celtics.

Since Kevin Garnett and Ray Allen joined the Boston Celtics franchise in 2007, coach Doc Rivers has been dealing with the weight of championship-or-bust expectations for the past six seasons, but with his star players showing their age and a laundry list of injuries to key contributors, the 2012-13 campaign was easily among Rivers' most trying.

The summer of 2013 will go down as Celtics' General Manager Danny Ainge 's most important.

There is no question the Boston Celtics must make some upgrades to their roster in the offseason.

He was brought in for defense and 3 point shooting. In an up and down season, he didn't finish so well and found himself sitting in the end.

I feel like we've covered most of the gamut of options that face the Celtics this offseaon on the blog in the last few days.
