No, please no. Move on from him! Thanks.

Any reason?

Him sucking is not enough of a reason?

I'm not sure why we would want him at this point in our rebuild. I would rather give those minutes to Faverani, Sullinger, and Olynyk to develop and build their value. We would gain nothing from giving playing time and a roster spot to an old 3rd string backup center who would eat more time from the young guys. We already have Bass, Lee and Wallace eating enough playing time from the young players as is.

Player development also occurs on the practice court, though.

Sure, but we need to build value for our assets, which would not include Collins. Kendall Marshall would be ok however.

Faverani has any minutes that J.Collins could've gotten. Those minutes where Boston needs a big body to play low post defense. Only Faverani brings a lot more other things to the table beside post defense than Collins does.

So, no need for Collins. Faverani got that spot. Collins would be superfluous.

If the Celtics could sign a center without going over the luxury tax, I'd rather bring back Chris Johnson or sign Tim Ohlbrecht.

I'd rather have some young prospect like  Kris Joseph or Jeremy Tyler

Any reason?

I don't know about Budweiser, but I for one absolutely cannot stand the idea of gay dudes playing professional American sports.

So are we just going to let this comment slide or was it meant to be a joke? If you are being sarcastic, I think you need to make it a bit more obvious.

If, however, you are being serious, I think you are a terrible, horrible person.

Minutes for our young bigs are already hard to come by.  Don't know if I would be ok giving Sully's/KO's minutes to JCollins.  Not when we are rebuilding and player development should be a priority.

He would be a washed up distraction.

Collins probably winds up on the Knicks or the Clippers, I'd say.

As far as I know, we're running on thin ice in terms of cap considerations.

So signing him on a whim may indeed be a no brainer.
