Boston Globe - Cs in contact with Bogut's reps

[saltlover]

If he's healthy YES

He could be healthy this week, but there is no reason at all to believe he won't be hurt in May.

"rounding back into form" = "trying to convince people he's still an NBA player"

ha ha ha...tp for a well done post.

Didn't everybody see Bogut break his leg last year? It was on the most routine of plays. Unless Bogut has been loading up on calcium pills, I am not sure he will ever be healthy again. He should just enjoy the rest of his life and not have to struggle through another major rehab.

Diaw probably fits our team best, but man he is out of shape. I would almost consider Sully.

[Rosco917]

I like him when he's healthy, the problem is he'll get hurt signing the contract.

David Lee

You mean the guy who did not come in in shape the season he was here, no thanks!

Yeah put me in the column of being done with David Lee as well.  Is that all there is for bigs out there Bogut and Lee?  Hopefully we have some other options.

He was a solid backup in both Dallas and San Antonio. He admitted that he came to Boston out of shape, but he would still be a solid backup for us here, especially as a vet presence and a rebounder. I like him better than the perpetually injured Bogut.

[LilRip]

Skillset-wise, yes. I just don't think he'll be a reliable backup, health wise.

I do like the idea of securing another big though! Unless the team is confident in Yabu or Theis

Screw David Lee, just like he did us.

Burn me once, shame on you.......

Burn me twice.........

Fixed it for you.

[trickybilly]

Just to be clear...  We only can use vet min deals to sign TA or bogut right?

Also, I like Jaymychal,  but now way in hell he accepts the minimum

[SCBirdman]

Thomas Robinson or Festus Ezeli

His injury last season is the only thing that worries me, but I'd love to have Bogut here.

When guys like Gortat and Lopez give us trouble, especially in playoffs, then having Baynes and Bogut as our "bruisers" could really help in that regard.

And even in just 20 minutes a game last season, Bogut averaged like 8-9 rebounds a game AND was pretty key in 2 of the Warrior's Playoff runs (and they unfortunately blew a 3-1 lead after Bogut went down).

Plus, like Irving, Bogut does have the championship pedigree which could be a bit valuable to the young guys.

Definitely would not mind this.

Yeah his offense may be limited but the Celtics really do need guys who can grab the boards late in games and actually have a presence in the paint, and I think Ainge knows this too.

I think that's more because he's doing what the coach wants him to do, he was an offensive beast in his bucks days.

I'd rather they convinced Bill Walton to come out of retirement.

If we get Bogut I hope it's the 2016 Olympics one. Good passer, solid screens, decent jump shot on top f being a defensive anchor.
