lol...well in that case have a tp

I'll be honest that am happy we signed someone (just for the sake of signing cauz I was getting impatient). But he'll be a nice spark off the bench like Nate.

Marquis is Pierce's backup.

I guess Wafer is pretty good, but I don't know that I would have taken him over West/Rudy. He shoots fairly well, so that should do the trick. This also means that Marquis is officially Pierce's back-up...

Looks like Wafer played in Greece this past season.

Funny thing is, I thought about him the other day. Don't know why, really. Maybe just his funny name.

Welcome to the C's, Von.

Solid pickup for the C's, I still hope Danny will be aggressive about picking up a more impact bench player.

If he can be healthy and return to the form he was at in Houston in 2008-09, this is a steal. If he can just provide a three point shooting burst off the bench, he will be a good signing.

But don't forget he couldn't pass a physical when first trying to come back from Greece. I think he has back issues, which, as we all know, can be long term.

Nice signing for the minimum. Hope he works out.

'Meh' signing - don't love it, don't hate it.

Von Wafer can score and not much else.  I would have preferred somebody with more size, since this basically means Marquis is backing up Pierce.  Also, Von Wafer is a disinterested defender at best (and this was on a solid defensive team in Houston) so I'm not sure if he'll buy in or not.

We'll see.

Excellent signing. Very happy with this.

A like the contrasting skill-sets between Marquis Daniels and Von Wafer. Gives the Celtics nice flexibility in deciding on what they want off their bench on any given night.

I think this may signal A Big Shamrock siting in Bean town.

Hopefully we are still trying to get Rudy and Pryz.
