Has Kevin Garnett's NBA clock expired?
Time has a funny way of working against the NBA big man. Kevin Garnett is learning that lesson the hard way.

The LeBron effect: Celtics bide time at trade deadline
Make no mistake, Danny Ainge would have happily punted on the season if he found a deal that would have improved his team's chances of winning a future championship.

Lesson for Celtics: Rajon Rondo must improve
Regardless of whether the Celtics would be a better team without Rajon Rondo in the long term, they've played better without him this season. With the deadline approaching, it raises a question as to whether Celtics president of basketball operations Danny Ainge will shop his biggest trade chip in Rondo.

The all-Doc Rivers mailbag
I made the case last week that Rajon Rondo's injury should prompt a shift in the Celtics' organizational philosophy. I wrote that Celtics president of basketball operations Danny Ainge should use the trade deadline to build a younger roster by moving any veterans who have value to contenders around the NBA. And finally, I came to the conclusion that Doc Rivers might not be the best coach for the Celtics to usher in a new era.

Doc Rivers no longer right fit for Celtics
Regardless of how Doc Rivers' coaching tenure with the Celtics ends, it will be remembered as a success. The man brought a championship to Boston by getting three aging superstars to buy into Ubuntu, a concept that seemed cheesy to anyone outside the team but proved to be the perfect motivator for his players.

After leaving the Celtics to sign with the Heat last summer, Ray Allen leaked many reasons for his departure.

DeMarcus Cousins no longer trade option for Celtics
Celtics fans can cross DeMarcus Cousins off their wish lists. The news of the imminent sale of the Sacramento Kings all but eliminates the possibility of the team moving its marquee, mercurial big man to the Celtics this season.
