Avery Bradley

The Basketball Gods has an interesting sense of humor. Year in and year out, we see guys make it through a regular season relatively healthy, then go down in the first game of the first round of the playoffs. That was the fate for the Celtics’ Avery Bradley who went down in agonizing pain towards [...]

Would you ever regret signing a four-year, $32 million contract? Of course not. You’re not Avery Bradley, though. He, apparently, is regretting the deal he signed to stay with the Boston Celtics in 2014, according to Gary Washburn of the Boston Globe (h/t CBS Sports): Avery Bradley has changed agents from Mitchell Butler of the [...]

Rajon Rondo is back. Almost. The Boston Celtics All-Star point guard has been sidelined since the middle of last season with an ACL injury, and his return has been uncertain. According to the Boston Globe‘s Baxter Holmes, however, that’s on the verge of changing. A source told Holmes that Rondo is dunking again in practice [...]

Kyrie Irving has a great relationship with Cleveland Cavaliers owner Dan Gilbert, but that’s all he’s going to say. Retaining the star point guard has become an obsession for Cleveland. That, and the media has helped bolster its important, even though it’s already incredibly important. Irving won’t become a free agent anytime soon, but he [...]

The Boston Celtics don’t need to send Rajon Rondo anywhere. Apparently. Much has been made of Boston’s decision to hire analytic-guru and rookie head coach Brad Stevens, no conjecture more powerful than that which questions Rondo’s future in Bean town.

The Boston Celtics made a play for Dwight Howard. Well, not really. They made an inquiry. An obligatory one.

He was told [...]

The Boston Celtics have bigger problems than coming to grips with the departures of Kevin Garnett and Paul Pierce. Like the future of Rajon Rondo. With Garnett and Pierce moving on to the Brooklyn Nets, the Celtics have instantly become Rondo’s team. To be honest, this is the moment Boston was waiting for. Every year [...]

Stephen A. Smith is at it again. Speaking on ESPN’s First Take, Smith spoke of a potential blockbuster that could eventually go down between the Boston Celtics and Los Angeles Clippers. And I’m not even sure “blockbuster” does it justice. The deal in question would have both Paul Pierce and Kevin Garnett being sent to [...]

The answer is no. The Boston Celtics have played their way well into the NBA’s playoff conversation and by doing so, they’ve opened the offseason floodgates, specifically with regard to Rajon Rondo and Avery Bradley. Boston is 16-7 since Rondo went down and have, at the very least, feigned contention. Upon Rondo’s removal from the [...]

Josh Smith and the Boston Celtics seem like the perfect match. After losing Rajon Rondo, Jared Sullinger and Leandro Barbosa for the season, Boston needs a star, or at the very least, a potent talent. And as the rift between Smith and the Atlanta Hawks continues to grow, it’s clear he needs a change of [...]
