Bogut (UPDATED: Signs with Lakers)

[KGBirdBias]

I read that the Celtics are one of four teams in contact with Bogut. There are 14 guaranteed contracts right now and I think Bogut would be a great signing. Not knowing how Morris trial will turn out, Bogut would be a good insurance policy and give us more experience. It would also allow Horford to play more PF when Stevens goes big.

You can never have enough big men. Horford, Baynes, Bogut would be a great rotation of different styles of big men. Hey, just look at it like this, we'd be switching Zizic out for Bogut.

I would love to pick up Bogut. Play him short minutes during the season and use him bigger minutes in playoffs.

Bogut or T Rob works for me

TP. My thoughts exact.

[Greyman]

If Bogut stayed fit he could be one of the bargains of the offseason. I doubt he would get big minutes, but most of them would be quality.

a bit off topic, but when does the training camp start?

most likely the other way around, just like it happened with the warriors

Bogut does 3 things at a really high level: Rebound, protect the rim, pass from the elbows. 2 of those are big weaknesses for the Celtics and the third makes him a perfect fit as Al Horford's backup. Bogut is perfect.

But you're gambling on a big man who is 33 years old and has only played 56% of possible regular season games over the last 6 years. It's the 15th roster spot so it's not a huge gamble but it's a gamble nevertheless.

I'd hope to add a big to roster at the 15th spot.  Can't help but think of bill Walton who really was done by the time he came to the celtics. 
Bill as a trailblazer early on was one of the best all around centers to EVER play.  Injuries obviously did him in
Bogut was a very good all around center until that horrible broken bone, since then he has looked very good but had an injury history. 
To me at 15th spot, why not???  He can ease into lineup, if sore, sit him.  He could realistically be the 4th big at times.  I'd look hard at him, his iq, passing and rebounding even in limited minutes will help.

Bill Walton when healthy was better than Bogut.

Walton had one good year off the bench in '86, then his feet gave out. A good Walton was much better than Bogut.

Depends who else you can get; availability is an ability. Maybe I'm still feeling scorched from last year; I wanted the Cs to get Bogut at the deadline, was disappointed when we didn't, then watched him get injured immediately. His health, a year later, seems like too big a gamble. Rather get someone serviceable at vet min whose ceiling is lower but whose odds of DNP-INJ are also lower.

If he's only "solidly healed" now, he won't be ready until Christmas. And even then he may still get injured within a couple of games because that's what he does. Sign someone who is not made of pressed sugar please.
