His IG page definitely seems to suggest this.

And it wouldn't be surprising after our pitiful last two showings with Horford anr JJ out.

Despite the new pic floating around of Larry Sanders in a BOS practice jersey, no indications he had a second workout with Celtics recently.

I'm a KO supporter but unfortunately for him he has done nothing this year to prove is that the spot is his. Is Larry Sanders capable of becoming our 3rd to 4th big? Personally I don't see why not.

Part of Golden State's recent run of success has involved stealing players who is actual output far exceeds their market value including Shaun Livingston, Zaza Pachulia, and Javale McGee. If you ask me these have been big risks that have paid off and for a team in our position, a player Like Larry Sanders doesn't come around every day.

Ha TP.

By the way, how did this Keith Smith guy blow up all of a sudden? Wasn't he just a barely reliable Reddit guy at one point not too long ago? Isn't this the infamous "Smitty" character? It seems like since a bit before the trade deadline several sports/NBA platforms have picked him up and have been giving him airtime.

He's originally a RealGM guy I believe.  He made up a rumor over the summer about Blake Griffin (and I mean that seriously -- he made it up).  Then Celticsblog hired him as a front page writer, so he gets retweeted by them a lot, and voila! The stamp of officialness!

I saw his tweet through bleacherreport's NBA page didn't know that was the same guy as the Blake Griffin Smitty lol.

I can see the Cs bringing in Sanders for a preseason run at a position for next year, but he isn't coming to the Cs this year. Upwards of 8 teams have tried him out and passed. There has to be good reason why 8 teams all figured he wasn't good enough for the 15th spot on their roster this year.

and is this conjecture or do you have a source? i ask since at this stage everything being discussed is so nebulous that having some real evidence would be welcome.

Pretty sure he signed up for scouting school and was giving realgmers updates at summer league this year from stuff he saw/heard etc...

"We are lucky we have a very patient GM that isn't willing to settle for being good and coming close. He wants to win a championship and we have the potential to get there still with our roster and assets."

quoting 'Greg B' on RealGM after 2017 trade deadline.
Read that last line again. One more time.

This was my first thought too. I´m pretty sure that there is a stack of 50 workout jerseys for anyone to grab when they enter for a workout and they don´t keep number of those taken.

lol that's exactly what I use BR for, too. The articles and analysis are junk, but the "team stream" sections are nice to see relevant tweets and news about the team.

That's kind of my position.  Whether it's Sanders, Sully, etc., they're bound to be no worse than Mickey.
