2. Any particular player(s) you think the Celtics should target to fill the roster?

Abbott: It's tough because they are over the cap, can't be in the mood to move a lot of draft picks, and need someone who is ready to win now. They'll have to gamble on someone else's rejects. I'm sure they're looking at all kinds of free agents who have been playing in Europe, the CBA and the D-League.

Hollinger: Wang Zhizhi. Don't laugh. The C's need minimum wage guys who can make open shots. Wang has shot 38.5 percent on 3s for his career and averages nearly a point every two minutes. I really don't understand why he's not in the NBA, and he'd be perfect on this team.

Stein: Everything I'm hearing suggests that the Celtics are targeting only minimum-salary guys at this stage because KG, Allen and Pierce will cost more than $56 million alone. So they probably can't get Brevin Knight or any of the top remaining free agents.

Thorpe: I like Sarunas Jasikevicius from a personnel standpoint. He is a born leader who excels at passing and shooting (and winning).

Bucher: It's a little late in the game for finding a veteran point guard, which they desperately need, but both Austin Croshere and P.J. Brown would help fill out the front line and can contribute without needing touches -- which will be in short supply.
