No Brainer: Celtics Should Sign Jason Collins

[slamtheking]

yup, Danny would have no brain if he signed Jason Collins

[Celtics4ever]

I think he would not add much.   He was good at spacing on defense and not much else.   I am sure he could teach Sully and Oly some things about spacing but we have assistants that can as well.   I just don't see a valid basketball reason to bring him in...

Vitor can't even get some minutes for us playing Sully and KO at the 5 spot.. save the money, get a brain and don't sign Collins

To all the people who responded and said something about the value of Jason Collins playing in actual games and suiting up in the regular rotation, I say this:

Next time, try reading the original post.


It's all about adding a leader and role model to the team, a guy who can show the young guys how to be professional and teach them about team and individual defense in the post.

Also, it's a major PR win for a team that is going to need positive storylines to distract from the ever present "tank, tank, tank" talk.


Of course we wouldn't want Jason actually getting regular minutes on the floor.  But frankly, nobody we add at this point is going to see the floor, either.  Kendall Marshall is not an NBA player guys.  Jason Collins, however, has proven that he belongs in this league.  It could not possibly hurt to bring him on so that he can show our young guys exactly how he has managed to remain in the league.

Ugh. The C's can't afford his vet salary, but even if they could, the last thing they need is a second veteran character guy who doesn't play on their roster.

If they need to augment their coaching, then they need to augment their coaching. But putting a washed up mediocrity on their roster for PR reasons is the last thing this team needs.

We have some vets that could do the same already on the team.   We have coaches to teach.  Why would we bring him in? 

I 'd rather see us hire Robert Parish to coach.   He was a much better player than Collins and better at every aspect of the game.

While we're at it, we should sign Cousy and Russell. If we're just looking for leadership and towel waiving, I can't think of 2 better guys.

I agree with the other posters..no need of giving a roster spot just for leadership and PR purposes. We have coaches and veterans of our own for that.
