Wonder how this affects flexibility to make the Gallo deal.
We're the ones we've been waiting for.

I wanted us to draft him rather than Fab Melo.

Not too excited about him now.
same here.  wanted him in the draft but pretty underwhelmed by him right now

Fireworks?


After 18 months with their Bigs, the Littles were: 46% less likely to use illegal drugs, 27% less likely to use alcohol, 52% less likely to skip school, 37% less likely to skip a class

He had a couple good games in Durant's absence last year. When you pick him up for nothing I think we can only color it as a great deal. Now the question is whether he stays or goes.
Long-form is far from dead, but please refrain from paragraph-laden posts! Who wants to read that?!

This writer thought he could break out, a little, next year.

He's still young...23.

I'm unclear on why the Celts acquired a guy who will just spend the year on the bench or in the D-League.  We've got guys like that already.

Danny Ainge does it again, now no one can complain about him picking Fab Melo in 2012 before PJII! LOL

Trade fodder?

His salary is too low to really be useful to be trade filler, and I can only imagine that other teams' interest level in him is similar to my own. 

This definitely kills any hope of the Celts retaining Jonathan Holmes, though, for the people who thought that might happen.
