Ainge signed Monroe to a 10-day. I guess with Horford and Baynes out we need a big.

We definitely need a big, and Monroe's a pretty good rebounder, and already familiar with the Celtics.

TP....KGBB!

He knows the system......guess it makes sense....not thrilled though, and I was a big Moose supporter before he "played" for us....if you could call it that.

Would rather have TRob....hope Moose surprises though......like the guy...always respect the stones he had in taking the QO from Detroit.

Is he playoff eligible? Or is he purely just a regular season stopgap?

We are officially scraping thru the bottom of the barrel.

He is so slow as to be unplayable unless the other team is loafing through a regular season game. He is not an answer.

As long as he was a free agent before March 1st he should be eligible for the playoffs.

If Ainge knew they needed a big, why didn't he go after Enes Kanter or heck even Joakim Noah??

I don't think he's playoff eligible as he was already on an NBA roster this season with Brooklyn. Thomas Robinson would've been as he hasn't played in the NBA all year, which is why this move is confusing.

If I am wrong, someone feel free to clarify (and I am sure someone will ;))

Hate this move if it takes away playing time from RW.
