For a non-guaranteed contract for the camp, why not?   See if he has anything left to help a team.  Use him sparingly in the regular season and save him as a 5-10 minute match-up based big man in the playoffs if it looks like he could contribute.   

But definitely not a replacement for Baynes.




And I also agree he is probably cooked.

I guess it really depends if he is injured or if the most recent injury took it out of him.  2 seasons ago he grabbed 8.8 rpg in just 22 mpg.  Boston could absolutely use that sort of skill off the bench.

I wouldn’t have wanted him at his apex.

Now? Ha.

Dude is a playmaker too.

Bizarro Horford. Can't shoot, but will do all sorts of big-man stuff. But was also very switchy on defense.

Love myself some skillful undersized centers.

Six years ago, sure.


Non-scoring, non-shooting big men can't stay on the floor in the playoffs unless they're absolute monsters in other facets.  Don't see the point of using a roster spot on him.

I would give him a training camp invite.  He’s only a year older than Horford.  3 years removed from dominant play as he’s had 2 shoulder surgeries and knee issues.  He says he feels healthy now, but had the strange CD-DNP thing going on with Hornacek.

If he can be the anti Monroe to provide D and rebounding along with bringing back Baynes that would be great.

You know, I clicked this thread thinking it was a thread posted a few years ago and someone just bumped it up yesterday or today.

Nope, someone actually posted this just recently...  :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

I mean sure, training camp invite, vet. min deal? I'm okay with that. But to say Joakim Noah "puts us over the top" is absolutely comical.

  • A true Celtic plays with heart.
Noah is still on the hook for the Knicks. He's reportedly refusing to give up some of the money in the buyout. So ergo, he's still with the Knicks to this date. If you haven't watched his recent video with his blond beard on his exile. Then you would know the Knicks clearly aren't going to bring him back.

Horford is still high on Noah, so if he gets waived/bought out, I could see him coming here, and having a decent impact like Baynes in sparse 7-10 minutes.

When a person who doesn't have much actual NBA skill and is pure hustle, athleticism, and heart gets injured, he's finished. He'd look like Greg Monroe had Monroe never touched a basketball before. He also can't shoot 3s, which is required of all NBA players now due to Curry/advanced analytics "figuring out" that 40% 3pt scores more points than 50% 2pt.

Yes to a camp invite  on a vet. min deal. You'd have nothing to lose.

LOL when's the last time he played a game? If he was healthy I loved his game but seems like he is done!

Using that logic, why not sign Bill Russell to a vet minimum deal? You'd lose a roster slot to a person who can actually still play basketball.
