What if the Celtics could lure Amar'e Stoudamire back from Israel to play backup center? He is only 34, that's not ancient yet... He can shoot, has size -- he's no Blake Griffin, but he's only making 1.5 mil in Israel so we could get him for cheap. If we got him and Jimmy Butler/Paul George or Paul Pierce and Blake Griffin we'd be set...

I didn't realize he was playing there. My understanding was he still had NBA interest when he chose to retire. I do think he could be useful for 10 minutes a game if he was healthy.

He is becoming an Israeli citizen.
He is also a partial owner of the team he is playing for.

He's there because he can't be in the NBA

I don't think so, it was his plan for a few years now.
He said he had offers from NBA... but i don't know what kind of offers- cant imagine anything great.
He bought part of the team a few years back and this year joined as a player.

I've seen him some Eurocup games (the continental competition they're in) and he has nothing left in the tank. No quickness, low defensive desire and easy foul collector.

Currently, he can't have a place in the league, even as a 10-minute backup center.

BTW, he is StoudEmire.
