I don't believe there's any limit. He could play the whole season in Maine.

Ainge just said on Toucher and Rich that he can't talk about Tacko because a deal hasn't been finalized!

 He's not a project. He's 24 December 10th.
 
 He's ready right now to shut Down Embiid, Drummond, Marc Gasol, and any other fool dumb enough to drive through Tacko Bell.

 7'7" 300 pounds of Tackos coming to a theater near you.
He is definitely a project. Danny even said it was a priority to turn him into a player, meaning, he isn't a player now, he needs to be taught and trained and that's the basic definition of being a basketball project.

After his summer league showing, I値l bet you other teams are interested, unlike on draft night, especially with all the hype and the popularity that was exhibited

Danny Ainge to @Toucherandrich: "We're trying to still get a contract done with Tacko. We haven't signed him yet. I really can't say much more about Tacko than we're just trying to get him in the fold."

I wonder if DA got in a little trouble talking (quite a bit) about Tacko yesterday.

Not sure why he would get in trouble. Tacko is under an E-10 contract with the Celtics still. Danny should be able to talk all he wants about him, as far as I know

Ainge seems enthusiastic about all these bigs, but Stevens talks like he wants them to play some on the perimeter. Kanter, for example. That would take away from his main game, which is offensive rebounding and inside scoring. 

I wish the media would confront Ainge and Stevens about this--is there a conflict in their thinking?

Just how protected are the Celtics with that E-10 contract ? Can another team sign him while he's on that contract? Can they outbid the Celtics?

The Celtics are as protected wirh Tacko, contract wise, as any other contract they sign with any other player. Teams can not talk to Tacko, recruit him or tamper with him in any way.

Danny says he can't talk about Tacko because he's trying to get a contract done, but we think a contract has already been signed...

How sure are we that Fall is actually signed to a contract with the Exhibit-10 clause? I know it's been "reported", but have the C's officially acknowledged it?

Doubt it

Still no, too slow like Boban except with less skill and shooting touch

Yeah, I caught that from Ainge last week as well.  My guess is that the reports of the Exhibit 10 were incorrect, as they emerged before summer league.  Perhaps he was just signed to the summer league team.

Tacko is much bigger and fast than Boban. Tacko has no shooting touch.

Agreed, Hack a Tacko ruins his chances of being a playable change of pace option
