Shams Charania: The Boston Celtics are planning to sign 11-year NBA veteran Al-Farouq Aminu and G League center Norvel Pelle to 10-day hardship deals, sources tell @TheAthletic @Stadium. With eight players in COVID-19 protocols, two big men en route to join the Celtics. – via Twitter ShamsCharania

Quoting Nick from the now locked Ime thread:
Quote
At some point you have to blame the performance on the court on the players on the court. Every loss is not the coach's fault and every win isn't because of the players.

I remember expecting that guy to be the next AK-47.

Big fan of this signing. I was always high on him when he declared for the draft but he carries the dubious distinction of being taken over Paul George by the Clippers.

Comes from a line of Nigerian Kings. His name means 'the chief has arrived'.

Great stopgap option to eat some of Richardson's minutes.

He can shoot the ball and play defense …didn’t know he was out of the league.

Aminu might actually be a serviceable player for the end of the roster if the Covid quarantines end this season

Just 31 years old! Almost a rookie compared to Iso Joe. He still got a decade of basketball in him!

 I’d be surprised if my of these guys get playtime. In practice maybe or in blowouts. It’s really hard for them to pick up the offensive and defensive schemes in a day or two.
Any odd typos are because I suck at typing on an iPhone :D
