TWill's Future

[CelticConcourse]

Eh? A second ten-day would save us some money and gives us a larger sample size, but might ruin his confidence. I doubt we release him now.

[ronaldo943]

Multi-year cheap contract as if he ends up playing well this year he will get offered good money and we wont be able to pay him (same thing that happened to Stiemsma)

[biggs]

I really like this kid

[vinnie]

I could not check one of the answers, because I would say sign him to another 10 day after the first one expires and see how he does before making a longer term decision. So far, so good.

Like him as well. He is on his best behavior now. Would not sign him to a multi-year until we see if what he learned in China has stuck.

If you sign him for the rest of the season, it should be a multi-year contract, meaning that he should be unguaranteed next season so he can be tossed into a trade to match salaries with a team that can waive him immediately afterwards with no cap hit.  And, as said previously, so that he can be retained cheaply if he plays well.

[Yoki_IsTheName]

His ability, underrated passing and court vision, athleticism and skills is and always was NBA level. He was a headache though.

If he does play well with us the rest of the season, that will be great. But no need to hope about him staying. If he gets his behavior in the positives, he will get paid, a lot more than we can offer, and may deserve it.

[CelticConcourse]

He would agree to a multi-year with unguaranteed, team-option clauses, right?

[cman88]

Doc already trusts him to run the 2nd unit offense, so I would say we will sign him for the rest of the season.

lets not forget, he Was a lottery pick talent just a couple of years ago..

so, if Ainge believes that the strong lockerroom presence of Garnett/Pierce/Terry as well as Doc can keep him in line we should sign him for a cheap longer-term deal. its not every day Lottery pick talent falls into your lap for nothing

this is the smart move.  if he looks good during that run, sign him for the year.  if he still looks good, then sign him for next year before the season is out

[Lightskinsmurf]

I need to see more.

[BudweiserCeltic]

Are players in 10 day contracts considered to be on rosters on March 1? If not, then there's no room for more "10 day" contracts. He needs to be signed for the rest of the year. Don't see much of a point to keep evaluating the situation personally.

[LooseCannon]

The March 1 deadline is for being waived by a team so that you can be eligible for another team's playoff roster.  You aren't stuck with the guys who have on the roster on March.

The reason you would keep T-Will on a second ten-day contract is so that you aren't committed to him if someone you like better is waived by the March 1 deadline.

[BleedGreen1989]

Love this kid. Wanted Boston to trade for him when he played in Sacremento and wanted Boston to sign him this summer

That's true, completely misremembered. Having a tough time figuring who'd fit better. He fills two holes in our roster, adds much needed size to our guard rotation.
