Dionte Christmas

[feckless]

If he's requiring a fully guaranteed deal to show up in training camp, we may as well just cut him now and give minutes to somebody else.  

I can't blame Christmas for being tempted by the money in Europe.  Right now, though, he's not the type of player we can afford to give a guaranteed deal to.

I agree.  I like him, but Kris Josephs isn't guaranteed either, he is better, and we drafted him.

I hope they can work something out that gets him to camp, but if not, XMas has acquitted himself very nicely.

Side note:  I can't be happier that basketball has grown so much internationally that these guys actually have lucrative, competitive offers to play professionally.  Good for them.

I have watched every minute of every summer game and there is no way Joseph has played better or shown to be better than Christmas.  Joseph has played well better Christmas has dominated much of most of the games.

Playing overseas is great. You will most likely make more money, get alot of playing time and pretty much be treated like a God over there. but not everybody gets to play in the NBA. If you get that chance you have to take it. Especially a guy like Dionte who is 25, if the Celtics give him that opportunity and he passes, it might never come back to him again.
