Boston expected to show interest in free agent forward Amir Johnson, per source. Another possible target: Ex-Celtic Gerald Green.

Yuck, I hope they are way down the list.

Gerald is fun, but we don't need any more guards and he is horrible on defense. I'd rather see Young get those minutes.

[dreamgreen]

G $??? hehehe

Pass on both of them.

[gpap]

Amir Johnson - Yes

Gerald Green - Would rather put a stick of dynamite up my *** than see him back on the Celtics.

Gerald is a good cheap option at the 2/3. He can score. No problem signing him to short term deal.

[ssspence]

Fine.  Purely about money.

[Lucky17]

Always liked Amir, even when he was a babyfaced buck with Detroit.

Not for long-term money, though. Three years might even be a year too long. He's got a fair amount of mileage on his tires. I think he's crested the hill and is soon to decline.

I have a memory that Danny wanted to draft Amir Johnson  but couldn't because he had made a promise to Orien Greene.  Did I get that right?

[PhoSita]

Um . . . why?

Might be right. I know Orien was a promise, and Amir was selected 56th in the same draft (three picks later).

I'd be Ok with Amir.  I've always liked his game - very time we have played his teams, he seems to be one of those guys who just plays hard and dominates you by doing all the small things.

I would hope this would be as a backup though, not sure he's starting caliber.

Definitely made promise which he tried to back out of, but agent would not let him. Did not remember it was for Amir, that is quite possible. Orien was great in summer league and pre-season, but that was it.

Yes, either that or both of us "misremember" that.

Amir Johnson - Yes

Gerald Green - Would rather put a stick of dynamite up my *** than see him back on the Celtics.

Having never left the Gerald Green wagon,  I'm happy I don't have to make such proclamations.

Come home Gerald.

My son and I used to watch Amir when he was a teammate of Gerald's with the Fayetteville Patriots!!!  I am sure that Danny watched Amir a lot in Fayetteville as well.  Man, Amir was a very skinny kid fresh out of high school.  He has hit the weights (HGH and other steroids)!!:-))

But, he is a PF.  We need another PF like we need another guard such as Gerald Green.

Is Danny trying to get fired???
