Mock draft: Gorgui Dieng has a defensive reputation
Sports Illustrated’s Chris Mannix has the Celtics selecting Lousiville’s Gorgui Dieng in his initial mock draft:
With or without the core of Kevin Garnett and Paul Pierce — two players who may not be in Boston when training camp opens — the Celtics need size. Dieng, 23, has a defensive reputation (he was the Big East Defensive Player of the Year last season after swatting...
Wyc Grousbeck on Paul Pierce: "I want him to keep playing for us"
A lot of attention has been put on Doc Rivers recently. While rumors that he might leave are basically just a bunch of speculation, the situation with Paul Pierce is very very real.
Pierce will be the first domino to fall in the craziest off-season the Celtics are facing since perhaps 2007. With one decision, Ainge could decide to break up the core of the last five years and move...

Phil Jackson on coaching Shaq and Kobe: ‘Hardest challenge’ in 20 years
It is amazing how little Phil Jackson revealed throughout his twenty years of coaching. Once in awhile, there would be a snippet here and there in the media of the legendary coach trying to antagonize the refs, or prod one of his star players, but rarely did he admit to the difficulties of all the personalities he had to deal with, especially Kobe Bryant and Shaquille O’Neal. But...
Epic Celtics fail at the Vatican?
Red Auerbach must be spinning in his grave. How do you NOT put the Pope's name on the Pope's jersey?
Boston Celtics minority owner James Pallotta was at the Vatican on Wednesday in advance of the Coppa Italia final involving one of his soccer teams. Likely thinking it a fine idea to further relations between the US (OK, the NBA) and the Church, he presented Pope Francis...

Now is not the time to trade Rajon Rondo
One of the many question marks facing the Celtics this offseason is the future of Rajon Rondo.
