so do those people here who kept insisting he was just a camp invite still think so?
Could still be, 3 year deal doesn't have to be big committment.
We've signed players before on multiple year contracts that are not guaranteed.
We haven't signed Iverson yet. I bet he's going to Europe for a year or two. While Faverani doesn't have to be guaranteed, I bet he will be for most of it, as I believe he had a relatively expensive buy-out (the translation may have been poor, but I saw a spanish website that said 1 million.) The Celtics can only pay $500k before it counts against their salary cap. I find it unlikely the Celtics would pay that much in a buyout, including taking on the salary cap hit for the excess buyout, if he weren't going to be largely guaranteed.
I'll be...peeved with Danny if he sends CI to Europe.
I wouldn't. I'd rather he play in Europe for a year or two and then come back over here when his playing time won't be blocked by Humphries and Bass. Let him actually get in the game instead of rot on the bench, wasting the cheaper years of his rookie contract.
I mean, if one of those two can get moved this offseason, then Iverson can absolutely stay in my book. But I think they're both going to get a lot of playing time at least until the trade deadline to showcase for trades. With this new center plus Sully and Olynyk, it doesn't even matter if Melo spends the season in the D-league -- there's just no room for Iverson this year.
