Maybe we can stretch wallace and add a few more pieces ?

I think this is a great pick up that everyone will overlook. His game is a perfect fit/mold for the way Stevens plays the game.

It's something, and I've always felt Amir was underused in Detroit and Toronto, but this adds yet another pretty good-but-not-great talent to a glut of them.  We appear, as Hinkie might say, "pregnant with decent players".  Wonder when the shedding starts to happen?

$24 million over 2 years.

So no Tobias Harris?

This seems like a desperation signing.

Celtics must believe Johnson can play the 5 full time in today's smaller, quicker NBA.
I think so. I think he is an upgrade as a defender & rebounder over T.Zeller. I think Amir should start at center and Zeller should be the backup center. Both guys are superb cutting to the basket and rolling to the rim in PnRs.

This would seem to end any possibility of overpaying for Monroe.  It's Tobias Harris or bust.

Celts are gonna roll with a revolutionary 13 man rotation next year.  Nobody plays more than 20 minutes.

Well unless there is a deal sending out one of our other mediocre forwards, this is just about as bad of a week as I can imagine.
We're the ones we've been waiting for.

On the worrying side, it looked like Amir might have been slowing down last year.

I hope that is not the case and he was just battling injuries. That he will be back to his best next season. Because this is really going to bite if he is on the downward slope and sliding fast.

If the reports on the money are accurate, Johnson would fit into the Rondo TPE.
