Signing for the veteran's minimum, he could have gone to any team but decided on Boston. The Celts are old and now become even older. But Garnett, Allen, Jermaine O'Neil and Shaq's contracts all end in 2 years.

If Celtics lose this year I'm giving up on Irish car bombs.

I thought his NBA career was finished a long time ago.

He won Co-MVP at the all star game last year. He can't play like he did 10 years ago obviously. But he still has some fight left in him, as always I'll be rooting for Boston.

As long as he stops being a fame whore, doesn't cause a problem with the rest of the team, and just plays, he'll be ok.

Boston is looking like the San Antonio of the East. The eastern conference as a whole looks better on paper now than the west.

Should be an interesting season.

Actually, it appears that not many teams were interested(ESPN) but I still like this deal for Boston, a ton of experience for relatively little $$'s. With Perkin's injury he could miss a significant part of the early schedule while re-habbing so it makes sense there too (although Perk is just so nasty on"D", tough to replace there)

It's a good fit for them, the C's needed mass at center and they now have it.

Shaq needs to stfu. He still thinks he's the most dominant in the league, but rarely if ever gets a double-team anymore.

It's a good acquisition by the celts tho. I don't care much about the team but am really looking forward to this next season.

Can't wait to see how much the nba is going to jack up their broadband package prices this year...
