Should Celtics sign Fredette?

[KGBirdBias]

Who will be the team to sign Jimmer Fredette? What are teams waiting for? I'm seeing a bunch of players he can shoot better than...this is his NBA more so now than it was when he was drafted. Maybe he has a huge buyout clause since he's a draw.

Why not cut Bird and plug him in with the 2nd unit with Rozier, Hayward, Brown?

He has a shoe deal with a Chinese company.  I'm guessing it wouldn't make financial sense to come back to the NBA.

He has a huge salary in China lol

Yabu says yes lol.

He said that he wants to be back in the NBA this week.

Jimmer is a heck of a ball player, but unfortunately he's not athletic enough to guard any one in the NBA and is ineffective without a usage rate of 150+.  He is the man, though.

No, even if he could cut it in the NBA. While his position might look like a match for Bird, there are important differences. Jabari had upside, maybe a lot of it; so while he was buried in the depth chart he was worth developmental minutes and coaches’ time.  Bird is 6’6”, long, and athletic.

Jimmer turns 30 in February. Moreover, he’s a classic tweener - a 2 in a 1’s body (6’2”), with nothing special, in terms of strength or speed, to compensate for it. 

In any case, the probability is zero.

And oh, I think that you’re mistaken if you think that Brown will come off the bench going forward.

I thought we had all realised  by now that Chinese league stats mean nothing
