Boston Celtics Projected Draft Picks: 1 – 1.16 2013 Free Agents: Chris Wilcox (R) 2014 Free Agents: Avery Bradley (R), Jordan Crawford (R), Paul Pierce (U), Shavlik Randolph (U), D.J. White (U), Terrence Williams (U) Team Salary: 2013-14 – $73,064,519; 2014-15 – $52,050,000 Team Overview: It will be a long offseason for Celtics fans after a disappointing season. Of course they ended up with a decent playoff spot but this team is just getting older. After giving up Ray Allen last season, there was some doubt, but that was just giving up age, something needed. With Kevin Garnett and Paul Pierce possibly playing there last games in green, they have to look forward to Bradley Beal, Rajon Rondo and Jeff Green. Team Needs: This is the offseason where the franchise will have to think hard on Paul Pierce. They will be over the salary cap (whenever the official number comes out, they’ll still be over) and have Jeff Green ready to take over at the three if need be, so do they trade him in the last year of his current contract or try to make another run with a healthy Rajon Rondo and still-effective Kevin Garnett? Either way, the team will likely draft a center if one of the few intriguing center prospects is there at 16. Or maybe a small forward to develop as they will likely try to do with Fab Melo and Jared Sullinger (when healthy) at the four and five. ---BOSTON THUG
