Have the Celtics had the best off season so far in all of basketball ? Went from worrying about Ray Allen coming back, to making moves to acquire players that form one of the deepest back courts in all of basketball. Ray leaving was a blessing in disguise. Right back in the championship hunt.

Is it to early to crown Danny Ainge Executive of the Year ?

No, your assessment is based of of pure bias, fandom, stanship.

Off-season efficacy in regards to signings should be judged on production during the season.

Ray Allen's departure was not a blessing in disguise.

It was Ray Allen leaving to join a conference rivalry for lesser $$$.

The end.

So the Celtics getting an older Jason Terry, a "hall of famer" Courtney Lee, two okay draft picks, and resigning Jeff green and KG= Executive of the year?

 

[wavy bone]

Dude is seriously starting to get annoying now.

they are already better than they were last season...

 

[finallyfamous]

Yeah Boston has done well, but they still can't beat miami

 

[mjgreatxii]

I agree, but to say that Ainge is already executive of the year is a little outlandish wouldn't you say?

 

[duba169]

Yeah Boston has done well, but they still can't beat miami

yes they can. it took bosh going crazy form the three point line to take em out in 7

they could beat them. they wouldnt be favored though

 

[nooera]

Dude is seriously starting to get annoying now.

Dat block button. Utilize it.

Who's had a better off season than Boston ? We signed 7 free agents and traded jujuan johnson and etwuan moore for courtney lee. All kinds of win.

 

[buc em]

On paper, the Celtics have had BY FAR the best offseason of anybody. Their team is now deep with guys that can actually still play, unlike the Heat where you have guys that will completely suck and be useless for 90% of the season because their too old to still be playing. Brandon Bass, Courtney Lee, Jason Terry, Jeff Green, Jared Sullinger, Fab Melo and Jason Collins should all help the Celtics a lot this upcoming season.

 

[three6mafia2007]

I can't front, celtics have made some pretty good moves this offseason and they are better than last year. Terry and lee give their backcourt good depth and versatility

 

[finallyfamous]

No they can't.

 

[Bert.]

I agree, but to say that Ainge is already executive of the year is a little outlandish wouldn't you say?

i agree with ya

Warriors closing in on signing Rush, Landry

The Warriors are close to coming to terms with restricted free agent Brandon Rush and are also on the verge of signing free agent power forward Carl Landry, according to Mark Bartelstein, the agent for both players.

It is possible that the deals could be done by the end of the day.

The Warriors had made clear early in the offseason that re-signing Rush, who averaged 9.8 points and 3.9 rebounds per game, was a priority. Rush shot 45.2 percent from 3-point range in 2011-12, sixth in the league.

As a restricted free agent, Rush had the right to sign an offer sheet from another team and then wait for the Warriors to match the offer or not. But Rush had failed to get a qualifying offer, and so he will simply come to terms on a contract with Golden State, according to Bartelstein.

Landry played 41 games for the New Orleans Hornets last season, averaging 12.5 points and 5.2 rebounds in 24.4 minutes per game. Landry will likely back up power forward David Lee.

Warriors general manager Bob Myers did not return calls seeking comment.
