If you are that concerned with a veteran point guard, Tyronne Lue is now available...

You could only claim him if you had cap space available. I believe you can use trade exemptions though, so if any front runner had a big enough TE they could use it to claim him.

Lue is best buddies with Billups...
Rip Hamilton is a stain on the Pistons franchise.

I actually like Lue and would much rather have him than Dixon. But it's safe to say we won't be persuing him and he'd probably rather go someplace where he'd get more playing time.

Bold (silly) prediction: Spree will come out of retirement to be a Celtic.

The Boston Celtics hope they have the last piece of the championship puzzle with the signing of veteran Sam Cassell.

The Celtics made the deal official on Tuesday afternoon after he passed a physical. Terms of the agreement were not released, per team policy.

Cassell will attend the Celtics shootaround Wednesday morning, but isn't expected to play when they host the Detroit Pistons on Wednesday night."I'm in no hurry," coach Doc Rivers said after practice Tuesday. "We'll have some time to work on things in the next few days."
