A look around the league and the web that covers it. It's also important to note that the rotation order and starting nods aren't always listed in order of importance. That's for you, dear reader, to figure out.

    I didn't realize how many tats JR has. Why bother? When there's that many you can't tell one from the next so they don't mean anything anymore.

    It would never have occured to me that Miles would end up on a contender, but this makes a bit of sense. KG has gotten good performance out of head cases before, and Miles if he has any sense left will look up to him and his accomplishments. Him and Bill Walker(they kept that pick, right?) give the Celtics some explosive athleticism for sure, it'll be interesting to see if the organization can find a good way to harness and exploit it; and even more interesting to see what kind of impact it would have on teams preparing to face the defending champs.

    I'm surprisingly into the Miles pick-up.
    He seems like a guy who'll genuinely benefit from that old cliché of 'veteran leadership.' And he'll get that in spades at the Celtics. And if he's still got a [profane]ty attitude and a total lack of game? They only wasted minimum cash on him.
    I like it.

    JR Smith looks like he suffering from a rare tropical disease.
