Yes sir, The Celtics took both games from Golden State in orderly fasion winning by 15+ points both games. The Celtics however have to get busy with offseason tasks now, and will be giving updates as they arive. Rajon Rondo won Finals MVP to add to his already stunning collection of awards this season. Enjoy the offseason, it should be busy as Celtics have alot of decisions to make.

Retired Players:
Shaq O`Neal (Inducted into Hall of Fame)
Raja Bell
Derek Fisher
Kenyon Martin
Antonio McDyess
Vince Carter
Steve Nash (Inducted into Hall of Fame)

Player Options:
Avery Bradley (2 Yr Team) -
Gerald Henderson (Team) -
Brandon Bass (Player) - Accepted
Lamar Odom (Team) - Declined

- The Celtics accepted both Bradley to assume backup PG duties, and Henderson to either start or backup the SG position depending on how the FA Market goes. The Celtics declined on Odom as they want to see what is out there. UFA Kevin Love is not expected to sign back so look for the Celtics to maybe go after an elite big man. Brandon Bass happily accepted his contract and will be staying on as backup PF.

Free Agency:
The Celtics have alot of Free Agents and they are looking to improve to compete again this year. Lamar Odom despite being declined his team offer might actually resign with Boston for less money. Here are the list of Free Agents from Boston and their rankings:

Lamar Odom (75) - Might be resigned to new contract
Kevin Love (83) - Not expected to sign
Jerry Stackhouse (61) - Not expected to sign
Patty Mills (70) - Expected to sign
Sam Young (68) - Not expteced to sign
Kwame Brown (58) - Not expected to sign

Here are the Boston Celtics under contract going into Free Agency (Yrs left):

PG: Avery Bradley (1+1), Rajon Rondo (3)
SG: Gerald Henderson (1)
SF: Paul Pierce (2), Shane Battier (3+1)
PF: Brandon Bass (1)
C: Omar Asik (1), Andray Blatche (3)

- The Celtics wanted to resign PG Patty Mills, but he was asking for way to much money, so they had to let him go.
