Who says we're not going to resign him? It's not like there's going to
be teams with oodles of cash. The salary cap is probably going to
*shrink*. We're going to be the only team with his bird right so he's
going to get the most money from us. If the Celtics want to keep
rogers, he's staying.

Rogers and Delk both fill real needs on the team, Johnson and the
first rounder were potential. The C's have more than enough potential
with KB and Forte. What the Celtics need now is experience and
scoring. Both of which we got in abundance.
