[Scotto] The Boston Celtics have waived Jalen Bridges, Kendall Brown, and Wendell Moore, league sources told @hoopshype. Ron Harper Jr. filled Boston's vacant two-way spot following the departure of RJ Luis.

SGA on Jaylen

Probably gets more respect from his peers than his own fans a lot of the time.

It'll be interesting to look back on his career 10-15 years from now in terms of what his legacy will be.  Champion, Finals MVP, that stuff is obvious.  But NBA discourse has gravitated more and more towards these one-stop 'metrics' that attempt to encapsulate a player's value within a single number, and those things have never loved JB for various reasons - some of which aren't his fault.  I tend to think people who watch games will look back on him more positively than those who get most of their basketball knowledge by popping up a tab on Basketball Reference and scrolling down to VORP or whatever their pet stat of choice is.

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.

It'll be interesting to see how his career plays out when he's back home in ATL.

I don't have any quarrel with this.  Glad for him to be getting a chance, but my expectations are not that high for him having any kind of actual impact on the team.  Interesting (to me at least) is that he had the worst +/- on the team in the preseason, -23 total in 32 minutes over 3 games.  Otherwise, his box score numbers looked fine, at least relative to the other 2-way candidates.

We have 14 on the roster, with Tatum injured, so starting the season with only 13 that can dress.  To me, that means there should be at least 1 2-way guy dressing for the games every night.  So Walsh, Scheierman, Shulga, and Harper plus Amari Williams, in some combination, is the end of the bench.  Walsh and Scheierman had pretty unimpressive preseasons so maybe Harper gets some run.

John Karalis: Joe Mazzulla says Jaylen Brown "was able to do everything but the live stuff" in practice today. He says Jaylen is day-to-day, so no indication yet if he'll be ready for opening night.
