Celtics work out Adam Morrison, Rashard McCants, Trenton Hassell, etc.

[Roy Hobbs]

From the front page:

    Still searching for another shooter, the Boston Celtics  have Adam Morrison(notes) working out for their front-office and coaching staffs this week at the team's practice facility, league sources told Yahoo! Sports.

    Morrison worked out on Tuesday and planned to do so again on Wednesday, sources said.

    The Celtics aren't close to deciding if they'll make any kind of make-good contract offer for training camp.

Celtics workouts over past two days have included Cuttino Mobley, Rashad McCants, Trenton Hassell and Adam Morrison, league source tells Y!

Many had expected that Wafer and Delonte would be the last roster spots, but it appears not.  Neither has a fully guaranteed contract, so it would be easy to cut ties with either of them.  Semih Erden would seem to be the other potential odd man out if we signed another guy.

Makes sense to me, bringing in a ton of bodies and letting them compete for the 14th/15th roster spots.

[j804]

Why are we always after ex Laker scrubs? smh

McCants interests me the most, but I hope we end up dropping Gaffeny or Lafeyette if we pick him up.

Mobley's an interesting name. I thought he was done.

Hassell would be a nice defensive sub.

Agreed.
-Trenton Hassell is like an older, poor-man's version of Tony Allen.
-Adam Morrison is the next Larry Bird (oh wait, no he's not)
-McCants is a name that has been talked about a lot on here, and reminds me of Von Wafer in that people had high expectations, but the player sort of flamed out and is now looking for a comeback...
-I've always liked Mobley, and view him a bit like an older, poor-man's version of Delonte West.  I'm surprised that he's able to play...
-Of the group, I like Hassell and McCants the best.

[Fafnir]

Uh Roy Hobbs is back, what the....

[moiso]

Hassell would fit the biggest need.  Mobley is done.  McCants is interesting but redundant.  Not crazy about Morrison.

We'd have to let both Gaffney and LaFayette go, plus somebody else, to get to our 15.  Here's our depth chart:

C:  Perk / J.O. / Shaq / Erden
PF: KG / BBD / Harangody
SF: Pierce /  Marquis
SG: Ray / Delonte / Wafer / Bradley
PG: Rondo / Nate

From what has been reported, Delonte's deal is non-guaranteed and Wafer's is partially guaranteed ($150k), I believe.  Also, LaFayette and Gaffney are signed to non-guaranteed deals, meaning they're gone.

Well, that was a blast from the past, posting from my old account.  But hey, with news as huge as Adam Morrison potentially in green, it called for something big.

Ah well.

I'm fine if we keep Delonte and Won Vafer.

I don't want to waive Delonte to pickup McCants. Actually, I just pass on McCants.

I think it comes down to Wafer vs. McCants, in my book.  Both have had bad attitudes in the past, with Wafer having more serious injury issues.  I think McCants is probably a better overall player.

I'd rather have an open roster spot than McCants.

Which reminds me, anyone else notice that Sean Williams got cut from his Israeli team before the first game of the season?

[Greenbean]

Cuttino Mobley? I thought he was medically unable to play in the NBA anymore...

He has Reggie Lewis and Gather's heart condition.
