Buy. Pierce has a better team around him and I hope we see the old Paul Pierce.Buy or Sell. Boston and Indiana will meet in the 1st round of the playoffs.
Sell. Its so hard to predict who someone will play BEFORE the season. Buy/Sell the amount of time that Perk and Al play together on the floor will be similar to the amount of time Telfair/Rondo and Delonte play on the floor together.side-note: why the hell does wolverine post in here? he doesnt know anything about the celtics.. haha
I'll buy that. I think IF healthy he still can have a big impact on a game with his interior defense. I really hope he does stay healthy.Buy/Sell: At some point in his career Delonte West will average 20+ppg for a season, even if only for one season.
I think Delonte could be able to put up around 20 when he's in his prime, but not if he's on a team full of talent like this. No way he ever scores 20 ppg with Pierce, Wally, Big Al/Gomes, Telfair, and Green on the team. Telfair plays 24 mpg (or more) this year.
I think 24+ is fair. It's not many more than his minutes from last year, if any more at all (don't have stats with me).buy/sell: Perkins will emerge as our fourth best player next year, behind paul, wally, and delonte.
Sell. Indiana has a better team right now. They have an awesome 1-2-3 punch with JO/Harrington/Jackson, and don't forget about Danny Granger. I really like Daniels off the bench as well, and Jeff Foster is one of the best rebounders in the NBA. Also, Tinsley is a top 15 PG in the NBA easy if he is healthy. I really like the Pacers right now, and I think they will have a better record than us, no doubt. Buy/Sell: Al Jefferson is the starting PF by Christmas time.
Buy. I think with the work he has put in over the summer he is ready to claim his spot. But the main reason for Al starting is because Delonte will now be the anchor of the bench unit. This is an exciting young team!Buy/Sell: Delonte West as a candidate for 6th man, this season.
Buy, Delonte will be a top 5 candidate for 6MOY if he comes off the bench. The PG spot is wide open though, so we'll see who takes the starting job. But if Delonte comes off the bench, he will be a candidate. Buy/Sell: Big Al averages 13/7 this year.
Sell, 10/7 is my guessbuy or sell, Boston starts out 8-0http://sports.yahoo.com/nba/teams/bos/schedule
wtf? sell, they play Cleveland twice and NJ right? They will lose at least 3. Not necessarily those games, but they will lose probably 2 of those and one of the others.

If he's not counting preseason, our first 8 games are like this: vs. New Orleans/Oklahoma City vs. Detroit @ Washington vs. Charlotte vs. Utah @ Cleveland vs. Orlando vs. Indiana To tell you the truth, even if we played the Blazers the first 8 games we wouldn't go 8-0. I say we go 4-4 or 5-3. Buy/Sell: If we miss the playoffs again this year, Doc Rivers will be fired.
buy. I think danny will start to feel some heat so he might dump it on doc.buy/sell: Boston is a sleeper this year, and could get as high as 5th seed in the playoffs.
sell. Miami, Detroit, Chicago, Cleveland, and about 5 other teams that are just as good if not better than the Celitcs. They wont get higher than the 7th seed IMO even if they make the playoffs. There is just to much competion in the East now. I do however think they will make it if their players are healthy for the majority of the season.Buy/Sell Rondo making an "All Rookie Team".
Sell, he won't get enough minutes to do so. I think the 2 PG's to make the All-Rookie teams will be Randy Foye (they will put him and most likely Roy as the 2 guards) and Marcus Williams. Buy/Sell: Delonte or Wally gets invited to the 3-point shootout.
Sell. IMO definitely 10ish but 7 seems a little lofty. Until we know how many minutes he will get for sure I can safely say if he will or not. Buy/Sell Allan Ray playing more games in the D-League than with the big team.
Buy. On the depth chart he's behind Pierce, Wally, West, Allen, and Green. He won't find the time. He's a very nice option as a reserve though. Buy/Sell: Rondo will get 15 mpg.
