Celtics Sign Blake Griffin

[Vermont Green]

Doesn't signing Griffin mean that one of the exhibit 10 guys will need to be released:

Noah Vonleh
Denzel Valentine
Luka Šamanić
Jake Layman
Brodric Thomas
Justin Jackson

One of these will have to go, unless we get the DPE for Gallinari, right?

One has to be cut regardless of DPE use.

Gallo’s status doesn’t effect the preseason roster limit.  Someone has to be cut, be it those guys or one of our 2-ways, or Kornet.  (Not going to cut someone with a guaranteed deal).

So are we making predictions?

I've honestly never even heard of two of those guys lol

The media is suggesting Thomas or Valentine are most likely.  I'm predicting Jackson.

I will predict Jake Layman.

[celticinorlando]

I think Vonleah makes the team

I think Valentine goes. No need for him.

[Csfan1984]

Hope he stays healthy and in-shape. If he does then he will be solid.

I think Valentine.

Well that was random and out of nowhere lol...

I believe Nathan Jessup said it best - "Is there any other kind?"

[PAOBoston]

He’s 100% cooked. Maybe just bringing in for veteran presence to waive a towel. He literally cannot move anymore.

Is Blake going to be playing Center? He’s a shell of himself to begin with and I don’t think he can play that position at this stage of his career. Hopefully this is just a replacement for Gallo and Brad is still looking to add a C. Blake only played in 56 games last season and I believe he was a DNP for half of the postseason series vs the C’s. He has no upside and really doesn’t do anything well anymore.

Blake is a center at this point in time. He'll probably be a deep bench guy once we get everyone healthy.
