Think the opposite.  Probably means Bass and Sully or KO are out the door as part of a Love trade.  At the worst we can use his salary slot in a future trade.

Better than Bass

Or Humps is part of the Love deal in a S&T. It was rumored of Minni interested in him this week.

Something is in the works.

I would love to have Humphries back. He can get you 10-15 points a game and 6-7 rebounds a game. His hustle and confidence last year was amazing.

Also, he could be used as trade bait in a potential trade for Love or another high profile player.

Or Maybe conduct a sign and trade using Humphries and get an asset and/or a pick to help the Celtics. It's a win-win IMO.

Humphries was probably our best player last year.
He was ranked 11th in PER among NBA centers.

God do you ever stop with that?

First of all Humphries was 14th not 11th in PER among NBA centers. And secondly PER has holes in overall talent evaluation and values scoring over defense. (Mediocre defenders can score higher than they should and this is a prime example with Humphries)

Marcin Gortat ranked 19th, Bogut 22nd Chandler 29th, Asik 44th, Sanders 46th, and Hibbert 48th.

All of those players have worse PER than Humphries but are all notably better players than Humphries. All except maybe Gortat play superior defense and are major defensive presences. If you would rather have Kris Humphries on your team than any of those players you are crazy

Oh yes let's keep going down the road to 30 wins and take minutes away from Sully and Olynyk...please let him go and completely blow this up!

No dude, dont you know? Kris Humphries does moderately well in some obscure NBA statistic so we should resign him because this statistic means we will be awesome next year even though he blows as a player.

Sorry, I disagree.

Not very surprising given the reports last year that Danny said he loved Humphries professionalism and work ethic and that he liked having him around the young players to mentor them on how to work out, how to eat, how to practice, how to play the game and how to comport themselves as professional representatives of the Boston Celtics.

I like Humphries. If we can sign him to a reasonable contract, why not?

Soooo do you agree that Humphries is worse than all the players I named? And if so please explain to me fully what PER is exactly so I know you dont just blindly use it to trumpet your man love for Kris Humphries and why you think he is more than a bonafide roleplayer.

[Future Celtics Owner]

I like him, just not his taste in women.

Hump was the best player in that entire KG deal.
