Yabu likely stashed again then? IT not fully healthy to start season?

Larkin last played in the NBA for the Nets in 2015-16, averaging 7.3 ppg, 4.4 apg, 1.2 spg in 22.4 mpg.

Emergency depth in case Thomas isn't ready? Wonder what this means for yabu and Bird.

This means Yabusele is stashed again, or someone else on the roster gets traded for a pick to make room for Yabs and Larkin.

Hmm could it be just a training camp deal? That's a lot of money to leave on the table without a roster spot assurance though.

This is a strange move. Never thought much of Larkin... do not see him how he helps this team...

Larkin is garbage, would rather have Phil Pressey

IT being traded, so easy to do what IT did I'm sure Shane Larkin can do it.

Maybe Larkin is a 2-way? Then Yabusele signs and Bird could get stashed...?

Yea, this implies IT is hurt and Yabu more than likely stashed plus Larkin's year being guaranteed.

It could be just a training camp invite. Let's just wait for further details (on IT, on Yabu, and on Larkin).

That's more like it

Larkin is not a two-way.

He is getting a partial or non-guaranteed one year deal, since that is all the Celtics can offer him.

This could be Yabusele isn't coming over. Could mean something fell through with Theis. Could mean nothing for either player.

Boston wasn't hitting camp with just 3 players who can play PG. You need at least 4 to run scrimmages and the like. Larkin could be that. But he left a lot of money on the table, which means it could be more than just a camp deal.

And Larkin isn't garbage. He's been very successful overseas, while Pressey is barely hanging on in the NBAGL. I love Pressey, but that is just silly.

Yeah. It looks like a Training Camp Invite.

What NBA player does Larkin compare to?

According to Celts17Pride, it's a prelude to a trade. Maybe he knows something we don't? Sharing is caring.

It was hyperbole Smitty come on. Larkin is a fringe NBA talent at best, if he plays a single minute here we're in trouble.

Correct me if I'm wrong. But Larkin could still go back Overseas, After or Despite a Camp Deal?
