Vincent Poirier to Celts(merged threads)

Poor man's Steven Adams.

Is he a poor man's Adams, or just a poor man?

"Just watched a 3 minute clip of  Vincent Poirier and here's my detailed scouting report:

Imagine if Daniel Theis was a Dothraki."

At this point I will take anyone that looks functional. Love Robert Williams but unless that guy has committed himself, he is bound to be a back up for the next few years.

“It’s nice to hear that such organizations are interested in me, but the rest of the season is my priority. As long as you’re contracted, you can’t engage into discussions.

I don’t prefer the EuroLeague or the NBA, but I’ll make my decision if two contracts are on the table. I won’t move to the NBA to find myself sitting on the bench.”

This could be a turn off for the Cells.  I don't blame Poirier for this statement either.

A more ideal pickup for the Celts would be to try to sign Kanter. At least you know what to expect. But he is likely seeking more pay than the mid level

He plays nothing like Theis. Theis is lithe, can play stretch.  Vinny can't go outside 10 feet, rather slow footed.

He really doesn't look "slow footed' to me. He looks very athletic and quick.

 My Sauces are telling me we have been linked to him for sometime. Does anyone have anymore Sauce I'm hungry for Tall men.

hungry for Tall  or for Fall? You can have Tall and Fall with Taco sauce if you call the Celtics.

does he do anything but dunk and block shots? Looks like Darko 2.0 another euro stiff that will get homesick once he finds out he will get limited minutes in the NBA.

I'd take Greg Oden at this point!!

Like watching a big man run down the court and block a shot from behind. Sure could not hurt to add someone over 6'7 tall to our roster But he does not shoot the 3 so does that mean no way we give him a deal? He would start for sure for us right now though as he is competing against a 21 year old fresh off their rookie season.  I did not see slow footed as he chased down the court for that nasty block. Wonder what kind of deal he is searching for.

Here is how he did in a playoff game this year. I like it!

 Why so negative bro? We don't need him to do much besides rebound, play defense, block some shots and catch lobs.

 Dude we have the smallest bigs in the league other than Taco Time baby!

Danny probably signs him...but like the kid said you gotta play him.

Have you seen the competition for center minutes? Whoever we bring in is getting minutes.

[IDreamCeltics]

Seems like a pick n roll center... which is exactly what you should have if you're going to play Kemba Walker as your starting PG... He's one of the top pick n roll point guards in the NBA.

He looks like Tyson Chandler's skill set with Enes Kanter athleticism. Not sure how that would play out in the nba. Couldn't tell much defensively by these videos. He's definitely not a big minute guy. So if he doesn't want to risk sitting on the bench, he might as well stay in Europe. Best case scenario might be that he's a decent backup.
