My Thoughts About The Celtic's Offseason

After game 7 of the Eastern semi-conference Final against the Magic, the Celtics have a quiet offseason. They went to the free agent market to get Rasheed Wallace by use the MLE, signed Shelden Williams for minimum and waive Gabe Pruitt. Bottomline, they keep all the rotation players from last season.   

There are 12 players who have fully guaranteed contracts, and they need to sign one to three players to reach the league minimum of the roster numbers (12 actives and one inactive, teams may have a maximum of three players in the inactive list, so the total number can reach 15).

They may want to sign an additional point guard and true big man, as the depth of those two positions is not enough if someone gets hurt in mid-season (KG and/or Rajon Rondo). The options they have for now is the bi-annual exception, which they can sign one or more players at a little less than $2 million total this season, or re-sign the free agents from the own team.

At this point, I don't think they should sign their own free agents. They are either not fit the system (Marbury), injury (Powe), High-cost (Davis) and depth of position (Moore). 

If they want to use bi-annual exception, their option is Bruce Bowen. He can play D and provide great experience in crunch time down the road.

If there is no major injury, I fully expect the Celtics will go deep in the playoff this season, but their outcome will be the same as last season: lose to the Magic in 7 games.
