Free agents come calling
In
a rather amazing turn of events, Boston has suddenly become a desirable
city for NBA free agents. Agents for legitimate veteran players were
actually calling the Celtics yesterday, looking to place their clients
in Boston as news of Kevin Garnett's arrival spilled out further.
Presently,
agents and league sources confirm that the Celts are looking at four
point guards and five big men as they try to find the right players to
support their talented trio.
Eddie House, Troy Hudson,
Brevin Knight and Charlie Bell are reportedly on the point guard list.
Bell is a restricted free agent, which makes his situation a little
different (Milwaukee can match any offer he gets). Hudson had his
contract bought out by the Timberwolves yesterday, making him a free
agent. And while the C's were previously steering away from Knight
because of alleged locker room issues, a source said, ``Hey, just about
everyone that's out there now has (a few) spots.''
As
for big men, Doc Rivers said the Celts are ``very interested'' in
Dikembe Mutombo as a backup center, while P.J. Brown, Michael Ruffin,
Calvin Booth and Scot Pollard are also under consideration.
With
money tight as the Celtics head into the market, rookies Glen Davis and
Brandon Wallace may get larger roles sooner than expected.

Hey FCF. Yes, now we just need a late season, PJ Brown signing!!!
Maybe a Kendrick Perkins signing would suffice???
