Is there someone out there though who could leapfrog Luke and Queta? And we still have X too who as bad as he?s played knows the system already.

Walker I think is the best option. He knows the system the best and would have the quickest learning curve. If they could bring Theis in too, why not.

Brad Stevens also said the #Celtics expect to move quickly on the 14th roster spot and that they're targeting a wing. Wouldn't specifically say if Peterson or the other 2-way players are under consideration, but does think they'll take their time on the 15th and final spot.

Bring back Josh Richardson! Perfect 3 and D bench wing for us with playoff experience.

Yeah I didn't realize he was available. He'd be a home run addition for the buyout

Josh Richardson? I?m not so sure he is going to help. He has not been any good for about five seasons. I hope there are some better options in the coming days or weeks.

Free agent forward Torrey Craig has agreed to a deal with the Boston Celtics, Mark Bartelstein of @PrioritySports told ESPN. Craig averaged 6.9 points and 2.8 rebounds in nine games for the Bulls this season.

Normally I'd agree, but he has barely played this year, and when he has he's been horrible.  I'm not sure why.

Torrey Craig.  I like that better than Josh Richardson. Craig was good even just a couple of seasons ago in Phoenix. He has not done much this season in Chicago. Anyone know what the deal is?

I'll take it.

I wonder why no one wants Lonnie back in the NBA...
