As of tomorrow, NBA teams can trade many of the free agents that were signed in the offseason. So rumor season is about to heat up big time. Here's your first Celtics related rumor.

NBA -- Top trade targets - ESPN

In terms of those 108 offseason signees who become trade-eligible Saturday, at least three names are coming up repeatedly on the personnel grapevine: Indiana's D.J. Augustin, Phoenix's Michael Beasley and Boston's Courtney Lee. There's a reason for that, though: All three are seriously struggling.

Lee has struggled at times and the Celtics expect to get Avery Bradley back shortly. So there's really no surprise that his name would come up.

Still, it seems a bit early to make a judgement on Lee's fit here in Boston.

  • Rondo doesn't believe in easy buckets...
Was wondering why he's starting... makes sense.

I thought he'd be safe because we jumped through all those hoops to get him.

that deal would work for me.  KG back to PF.  Wilcox and Sully as the primary bigs off the bench would be ok.  Green in spot duty at PF.  Use Collins in case of emergency.

Too bad Phoenix unlikely to do it. They could get more from someone else IMO.

Who knows if it's true.   I don't think Lee's play is a problem - he's our best defensive perimeter player, and OK on the offense, save the low 3 pt percentage.

Bigger issue is the surplus of guys who can play 1 and 2: Rondo, Terry, Barbosa, Bradley, Lee, and even Paul when Green goes to 3.   So the brass might be looking for a way to parlay some of that excess into a guy who can help with the interior D.

I like how he started tonight. I thought he played well. I like him starting more than Terry. Terry is a career 6th man (one of the best of all time) I like him in that role.

We will see what happens. I could see something going down as soon as next week. We really need someone to come in and be a rebounder on this team. If we had that we would be alright. It would be huge on this team. To get stops and be able to get the board. Instead of giving up 2nd and 3rd chances. I hope something happens soon.

  We're 5th in the league in defensive rebounding. Most teams give up more 2nd and 3rd chances than we do.

But we seem to give up big rebounds at bad times.. We are an older team we need a younger rebounder to come in and bang. Tonight we were down 6 and 8 with about 4 minutes to go and we gave up some big offensive rebounds and if we get those we get ourselves back in the game. I just think our biggest need is a guy who can grab boards and protect the rim and we would be a much better team.

  • I'm a Paul Heyman guy.
How much is his trade value right now anyways? I bet it's a little low the way he's playing. He's still playing solid defense but the shooting woes would not help Lee's trade value.

I'm sorry to say this, but in order for us to land a big name, Avery Bradley is the one teams are going to ask.

Can J.J. Hickson be had? I know he was traded to Sactown but was he released? So he cant be traded. Isn't that how that works? Would love to have him. AVG. 11ppg 10rpg. Athletic and only 24.
