Good luck Steamy.

Who cares what he brought before the playoffs? He brought absolutely nothing during a great playoff run, he will not be missed.

Wilcox and Green brought absolutely nothing during the playoffs so if they walked they wouldn't be missed right? Who cares what they brought before.

If he had been willing to sign for the vet min like Wilcox then I would have been glad to keep him. Comparing him to Green makes absolutely no sense, and neither does taking my comment out of context, it was a reply to someone else's comment.

Greg, when healthy, was a below average defender with terrible lateral movement who got pushed around by other centers inside. He was an excellent shot blocker and had a decent midrange jumper. That's it. He would not solve our rebounding issues, in fact, he didn't at all solve them last year when he was healthy. He is not worth the BAE, never mind 3 million/year. Good luck to him, he seems like a good guy.

I think he was the best big we could have gotten for the $1.9 million BAE.  Maybe Darko's still in the picture, or Haddadi, or (please, no!!) the Birdman.

 Otherwise, we are probably looking at a summer leaguer trying to make a roster.  Who knows, though?  Sometimes those guys work out.  Just look at Greg Stiemsma.

I'll say this: if Stiemsma's departure means that Fab Melo gets a chance to prove his worth, I'm all for it.

I like the idea of throwing Fab into the fire a little bit, but I still want more insurance on the front line.

I'm very grateful to the Celtics and the City of Boston, but I'm very excited to be the newest member of the Minnesota Timberwolves!

Good kid. I'll miss him.

Not even mad. Good luck to the Steamer, hope he does well in 'sota, and maybe someday we see him back in Green again.

I love his twitter pic, haha.

Definitely better than him taking less money to go to Miami or Lakers and complain about Ryan Hollins playing over him

His twitter pic is hilarious, KG cupping his head like you would to a little brother.
