When a superstar free agent comes here to play, you’ll be right, until then, you’re wrong. They want sun and fun and glamour, not cold and snow and fat Boston girls.

This coming from someone living in their parent’s basement wondering what life is like away from a dark room typing away at sport websites.

Coming from a girl who didn’t know who the Celtics were until they won a title. Go get your pink hat on and xxxl Varitek jersey and go watch a Sox game you bandwagon broad.

Sad but true.

All that may be true. But I wonder at times if players use the Celtics as leverage to get better deals from other teams i.e. David West. IF they get Smith and/or Jefferson, then I will be proven wrong and I hope I am, but so far the players that have signed are all at the end of the line. I’d like to see an A list player say ” you know what, I love the tradition and Doc is a great coach, i’m going to Boston ” I just dont see it with these players nowadays.

Larry33….while some of your comments are true you should try to stay positive and not attack other posters, nor put down Boston chicks. If you haven’t realized they are some of the finest in the world then sad to say that you just might be spending too much time under ground. As for signing free agents, if you build a winner, and pay them, they will come, plain and simple. GO CELTICS

I do find the idea about free agents and Boston rather interesting. While I do agree that they will come here if paid – and the Celtics have been able to lure solid free agents past their prime  – I would like to see if some of the prime free agents would come here (aka Josh Smith, no matter what you think of him, is a prime free agent). I am a firm believer that they will for the money and a chance to play for Doc (his reputation seems to have spread far and wide) as well as a team that seems to have helped their players no matter the issue.

However the Celtics in this current carnation (2003-2013) have never either had the cap space or the winning ability to lure a prime free agent. Let’s face it, who would want to be on a team that won 20 games; and its hard to sign a max free agent now. Under the 1990s ownership, which did not really care too much about the team, the attempts to lure free agents really were an attempt to keep the team afloat or, when Pitino took over, an attempt to figure out how to consistently remake a team after failing to get the number 1 pick. Under Danny, the team has tried to sell assets to get new assets to make the current team. It will be interesting to see what will happen during the next five years. I do think players will come – BUT I would like to see it in action sometime soon.

sheesh. do they always ask so many questions? I give tons of credit to real leaders for standing there and being able to deal with that aspect of their job like professionals, but this seemed like overkill. do they have a set amount of allotted time? 2 minutes of legitimate attention seems sufficient for a regular season game. now for Rondo? i say make him stand there for 20 minutes until he loses the attitude… which he won’t. he’ll just give those smarmy “i’m smarter than you” answers like he always does with that obnoxious attitude. dude’s such a baby.
