he was lucky to begin with getting that contract to match salaries. He should have been grateful but his ego is toooooooo big.

Absolutely! I wouldn't have too much of an ego if I was only netting 2.0 ppg! LOL!

Not really news or rumor for that matter, just internet people speculating as we do in this forum, nothing more, nothing less.

Exactly. Not to mention that one of the voters was actually Jeff Clark.

this guy has received way more attention than he's ever deserved.

I think Ainge will try to move him for something, anything.

Agreed, I really can't see the Celtics holding onto a player who only averaged two points per game last season, when the team can free up some room in its salary cap.

The Celtics wouldn't produce any "room in its salary cap," by releasing him. Bogans is more valuable as a trade chip because his contract is fully unguaranteed. As long as the Celtics are below the luxury tax threshold and can cut other players, Bogans should remain on the roster.

Waste of a trade chip.

Stupid.

Actually nvm. This article is garbage from a rumor stabdpoint and that's a good thing.

It's not really a rumor.  It's just pointing out that the Celtics have 18 players, counting Evan Turner, and need to be at 15 by the start of the season, so if there is no trade, it seems almost certain that Bogans, Johnson, and Babb are going to be waived before the first game.

Bogans would be easy to trade if Ainge was willing to accept a bad player on a contract beyond this season as part of the deal.  I don't think he is willing to do that.

I'd like to know how the Celtics Roster became so swelled up to being with? Considering that Humphries just went to Washington that would have made 19 players on the roster.
