Favors went to Georgia tech. Maybe that made Atlanta appealing to him. 28 other teams could have signed him. I don’t know but I would think that if he was open to it, the Celtics would have signed him.

So he could sit in on the bench with Blake?  He’s someone I wanted pre-season when Rob got hurt, but it’s unlikely would have or would now offer us anything we need.

Should have been the C’s…Nothing to lose with a 10 day.  :-\

Adrian Wojnarowski: Free agent center Derrick Favors is signing a 10-day deal with the Atlanta Hawks, source tells ESPN. – via Twitter wojespn

Seriously.

That probably means Capela will be out for a while.

Heat set an NBA record going 40-40 from the line vs. the Thunder in a one-point win.

Anyone saw that game? 23 freethrows for Butler is insane.

you'd think he was playing the C's in order to get that many.  ;)

Nerlens Noel, Rich Paul and Klutch Sports Group settle Noel’s legal case – with Noel paying full commissions owed to Klutch Sports on the $5 million Knicks deal in 2020, and Noel withdrawing all legal proceedings.

That was obviously feed to Shams by Klutch.  Did Noel get anything from the suit?  Or was he just sick of paying legal fees?

Can't imagine Noel got much.  Maybe he was able to get back some commission for the minimum salary contracts he signed.  Notably, by the NBPA rule, the standard commission of 4% gets reduced to 2% for minimum contracts.

This is a bummer we didn’t give favors a look.

So he could sit in on the bench with Blake?  He’s someone I wanted pre-season when Rob got hurt, but it’s unlikely would have or would now offer us anything we need.

The Favors situation has been odd to me all along.  I would have expected that some team would have signed him right after he was released.  Seems like he could be a useful player for number of contending teams, including the Celtics.  He did not play in the game for ATL last night although he was available (at least he was on the box score as DNP-CD).  It will be interesting to see how he plays, if he plays.  It is a chance for him to show some team he can play, if he really wants to play (it is possible that Boston did want Favors but he didn't want Boston).

It is tough with all these possible players, Favors, Reddish, and so on.  Would they help the Celtics or just sit on the bench?  Probably the latter in most cases for these "scrap heap" players, players who are not on a roster or who are sitting on another team's bench.  I am with Celtics2021 on this, we don't need any more end of the bench players who wouldn't even play in the playoffs, even if they are a little better then our current end of the bench, never play, guys.

That’s assuming everyone is healthy for the playoffs. Outside of Malcolm and Grant, the Celtics bench is unreliable. The reserves had 25 points last night and Brogdon accounted for 20. Hauser started off the year hot, but over the last 10 games he’s been playing 12mpg and averaging 3.7pts, 2rebs while shooting 33% from 3pt. His defense is mediocre at best. Kornet hasn’t looked good lately, either. If you can upgrade even slightly and get some more bench depth, you do it. Especially if the cost is second round picks or a 10 day contract.

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.

The likelihood that Derrick Favors would be any better than Blake Griffin is very low.  And Blake is already behind Kornet for most matchups.

I disagree, he's better than Blake at this point in their careers and I would prefer him as the C backup to Kornet. Last night, tiny Alvarado put the moves on 7-foot Luke. That's just not acceptable.
