The Boston Celtics have to figure out what to do with their 8 free agents
The biggest question heading into this summer is if Paul Pierce with exercise his early termination option on his contract so that he can enter the free agent market. My gut feeling is that he won’t opt out as he has been a Celtic his whole NBA career and I think he feels comfortable there. Ray Allen wants to return but it will be interesting to see if the Celtics are willing to pay the going rate for an aging player like him. Tony Allen has been saying all of the right things about wanting to stay in Boston but what if another team offers him good money and a starting job? I would think he would leave in that situation. Nate Robinson, Marquis Daniels and Shelden Williams are all players the Celtics would probably take back if they agree to take what Boston offers them. I don’t see them getting into bidding wars for any of those three guys. I don’t see Michael Finley and Brian Scalabrine wearing green uniforms next season. The Celtics have to decide if they are going to make a run of it again in 2010-11 or if they are going to try to shed some payroll.
