How do you guys like Scalabrine's play? Hes been started in place of KG. Ive been a fan of his since the USC days.. i think the Celtics should keep him around for a while hes a good bench player.. Can you guys see him getting traded at the deadline...

You can have him if you want. All we want is an expiring contract.

Brian is a good end of the bench veteran. He has played some good defense the last few games and brings things to the team that don't show up on the stat sheet. He is considered the hardest worker on the team acording to paul pierce. A good bit player to have around.

4 fouls in 8 minutes tonight. Great guy, not so great basketball player.

Brian will more likely be traded around the draft, or over the summer.

It will be to clear room for the contract Tony Allen will get, plus the backup point guard free agent that the Celtics will sign, and another backup center (in addition to Scot Pollard) free agent that the Celtics will likely sign this summer using their MLE and LLE.

House will probably get a slight raise, as well.

And that all assumes Posey comes back. I think that Posey will return if Danny Ainge assures Posey's agent that when James 2009 option year expires, that the Celtics will extend James a multi-year deal starting with 8 % raises on top of his $3.46 million 2009 player option year.

He's the complete embodiment of everything you DONT want in somebody who plays for your team.

I don't think he gets enough credit for his defense. His stats aren't great, but he works his butt off on D.

Scal does play good Defense fansget on him becaus of hiscontract but youwouldtake apayraise ifyouwere offered onesoidon't blame the guy for taking it. Also scalwillnot be traded they don't need to do any trades to resign tony allen they can resign all there own free agents and can goover the cap which they will. Forget pollard people criticize scal but at least he gets on the floor pollard is a nice guy but can't stay healthy. Pollard is basically washed up.

I hate him, hes possibly one of the worst players Ive ever seen play. I think he could make a good assistant one day though
