    With Reggie Miller calling Danny Ainge to inform him that he isn't interested in returning to the NBA, the Celtics must now resume their search for bench help.

    One looming possibility is said to be Ruben Patterson, a defensively-tough free agent swingman who played for the Bucks last season.

    The Celtics are also reportedly considering Dahntay Jones, the Memphis swingman who the Celtics originally drafted with the 20th pick of the 2003 draft as part of their eventual deal for Marcus Banks, and Miami swingman James Posey.

    Posey is still negotiating to return to the Heat.</div>

    I think Ruben would be great coming off the bench for the Celtics. He's more likely to bring toughness and physicality and still only 32 years old. That's a lot Reggie Miller wouldn't be able to bring.

    He still wouldn't be bad if they can get him, but at his age now, he's more of a small PF/SF than he is a SF anymore.
