Shocking in terms of trade filler.


Not shocking in terms of shown play.

GIVE THE PEOPLE WHAT THEY WANT, TACKO TIME!

Good Luck to him. he will will get paid in China or Europe.

Best for everyone. Yabu is simply not an NBA player. He was taking up space.

I guess I was totally wrong about that one. Inexplicable unless they are getting a quality vet to sign here for the minimum. I like a lot of our young guys, but I can't imagine this is to sign Fall or Green to the 15-man roster.

Agreed. This move only makes sense if someone is coming in that will get actual play time

It would help with our lack of vet presence, too

Timing is weird. They must be royally p!ssed that after they picked up his option he came into his last chance to make the team at Summer League in the horrible physical shape he did. You would figure Ainge might try to salary dump him but decided neither the cap space nor the second rounder nor the money you might need to send along in the trade was worth it. He also must not have seen losing a $3 million salary filler contract was worth keeping Yabu on the roster.

So the only question now is: Is Danny going to use the roster spot on a vet min guy who can give this team meaningful rotational minutes or yet another guy even younger and more inexperienced than Yabu was?

I wonder if his injury is such that he's out a while and the C's were already done with him based on his poor condition and play.
