Jason Terry signs with Boston

Hopefully Sullinger can be the man to provide the post scoring

Billo, I'm just going by what Ainge says (he wants Ray back) and the fact that they have already offered double what Miami can.

I think they do want Ray back, but want Terry for a few reasons:
- good replacement if Ray does in fact leave;
- will play more early in the season while Bradley is still rehabbing his shoulders;
- as a combo guard he provides good depth should Ray/ Bradley or even Rondo get injured;
- can still beat players off the dribble and can play simple pick and roll well, which Allen can't anymore. This is a good basic offensive staple the 2nd unit can run.

I still want Ray to return, but not at any price. In the end the Celtics have to address their lack of bigs. KG was amazing this past season, but he's gotta get more help than just Bass and Stiemsma.

In the end, that lack of depth cost them the series against the Heat. Give them a half decent post scorer other than KG, and they would have smashed Miami in the paint and made the Finals.

Not 100% convinced that ray allen would be a shoe in fit at south beach. A lot of his looks in Boston came off a series of screens with him coming off the blind side in a "roll, catch, jump step, shoot" scenario. Whether he can stay stagnant in a corner and wait for a catch and shoot like Miller/Battier etc is questionable. Would definitely need to tinker with the offense if they were to accommodate for his touches.

Yeah not great, not terrible. What I really want to see is jeff green and a decent big man agreeing to deals. Those are the deals that will make Boston a legit contender. For now, Terry is just a very nice and very expensive insurance contract for Allen. The other thing is that Jet has been given 3 years 15 mill, whereas I thought the offer to Allen was only 2 yrs 12 mill. I'm not sure Ray would take less years than Jet. I think that would piss him right off!

Is anyone interested to know how Vince Marino developed his love of basketball? Did he play the sport as a youth? If so what level of the sport did he reach? Did he play at university while studing engineering? Did he win any awards?
