Draft:
The Celtics have 22 pick in this years draft, but rumor has it they are looking for a possible trade to get back a better player.

- Celtics Trade 2012 2nd Pick (53) & PG Avery Bradley to the Mavericks for SF/SG Caron Butler. The Celtics wern't really worried about picks and wanted to compete again this season. Butler gives them another scoring wing , and Dallas who looks to be on the rebuild gets a great young player and 2nd pick.

- Celtics Trade 2012 1st Pick (22) & Omar Asik to LA Clippers for C Deandre Jordan. The Celtics decided that Jordan could be their possible 1 center or backup to Blatche depending on what free agency brings. Asik was nice offensively but Boston needed more defense down low. The Celtics also liked his 3 year contract t Asik's 1.

- Grizlies trade SG Tony Allen & 2012 1st Round Pick to Detroit for Borris Diaw and Calbert Jamison.

Free Agency:
The Celtics are looking for a checp backup PG for Rondo, another SG (Starter or Backup), and possibly a Starting PF or C.

- Celtics Sign SG Landry Fields to a 3 year 19.01M contract with player option 4th season. Fields will step into the starting SG role for Boston and be chased by Henderson for PT

- Celtics Sign C Nazr Mohammed to a 1 year 487K contract. He will be nothing but a depth Center for Boston.

- Celtics Sign PG Eddie House to a 1 year 487K contract. He will assume backup PG duties unless Boston trades for a better option.

- Celtics Sign PF/C Jeff Foster to a 1 year 487K contract. He will be another depth big for Boston.

- Celtics Sign SF James Posey to a 1 year 487K contract. He will be a depth winger in case of injury.

Rumor: The Celtics are at the Cap and might be looking to deal Captian Paul Pierce for a cheaper option, or even PF/C Andray Blatche could be dealt according to Danny Ainge.
