 The #Celtics have requested waivers on Tyler Zeller.

poor zeller... he can't be making 8 million while riding the bench anymore

"Dear Lord, I don't why i must face these trials and tribulations, but the Boston Celtics say they don't want me to sit on the bench for them anymore. In fact, they said they don't want to see me anywhere near the state of Massachusetts again. Please, please, PLEASE let there be just one more desperate NBA team I can hustle. I know I haven't been fighting for rebounds, I haven't played hard on defense, and generally I haven't really cared much about the game except for the days when I'm collecting that big fat check afterwards. I swear I will change my ways if I can just hustle a few million more bucks outta some suckers in this league. Amen."

Not sure if this was posted or not but just read this on ESPN

Boston Celtics brass, including Danny Ainge, and Isaiah Thomas accompanied Gordon Hayward and his wife, Robyn, to Fenway Park on Sunday morning. A three-minute video aired on the Jumbotron that included players like LeBron James and Kobe Bryant talking about playing in Boston then culminated with a personalized message from David Ortiz.

Thanks, Kobe and Lebron!

Didn't play much last year, but appreciated him being our starting center a couple years back on the way to the playoffs.  He has his limitations, but can score decent around the hoop and runs the floor well.  Should be able to find a backup gig somewhere.

I hope they told Hayward, "You see this big empty park? This is what it would be like every game if you played down in Miami."

Zeller will be on a team soon enough.  He fits somewhere in the nba as a good backup on a running floor spreading team at center position.

Gordon Hayward meeting with the #Celtics has concluded, according to a source. Not he heads to San Diego to meet with #Jazz on Monday

Nothing has leaked yet about how it went, but it was certainly a much longer meeting and time spent with Boston than Miami yesterday.

To me one thing that is huge is when c's were loosing and crowd chanted celtics for minutes.  No other crowd does that in nba!
