Is Simmons a possibility?

That is just a low blow to even entertain the idea of bringing PF back and for those reasonably new here, PF doesn't stand for power forward in this case.

Diaw would be great with Howard. Team is better set up for him now

after seeing him say that he wants to play in Australia after the NBA, I sort of want him to not get another gig so he can come down here.

He would fit well as a centre down here.

No way. Doris Meow is soft, wasn't good before and sure doesn't belong years older and later.

Celtics have released Demetrius Jackson. Link: http://www.rotoworld.com/player/NBA/2613

Love this player. Strength, quicks, moxy. 2nd round pick (45) in 2016, who spent some time in the D-league. Not overly tall (like Kemba), but physical. Needs to develop his offense, yet can handle himself on the defensive end of the floor.

Here's what someone from a Celtics board had to say: "He wasn’t going to break into this lineup with the team’s depth. He will head to a team that has thin guard depth, and will likely succeed once he gets some minutes. Good Luck Jackson!"

Adding Demetrius wouldn't be a flyer, in my opinion. It would be to develop him for an NBA roster. I think this kid can play.

I thought Demetrius Jackson was good enough to be picked in the mid 1st. I'd love to land him as our 3rd, developmental point guard.

Now here is something we can agree on. The kid was a winner at Notre Dame, has great work ethic, even if we send him to the G-League it'd be a low cost, high reward investment. Hanging around Kemba could only help him as well.

He's basically the same guy as Donovan Mitchell, minus a baller summer league.

Jackson would be nice. It would put pressure on mcw and Weber to see who is the true backup.

Not sure Jackson would be added without releasing Weber due to tax considerations. It'd almost have to be a two-way contract or a Weber replacement. Also, the Hornets are reportedly looking for frontcourt depth, so who knows if upgrading the 3rd point guard on the roster is even on the radar. Should be, though. Jackson would be an upgrade, in my opinion.

I'm a Jackson fan as well.

I saw Jackson at the bottom of some lotterys twice. Both on Dx and Br. He has high upside and no risk

we can't all like him, otherwise we will never sign him. we only sign players that divide the board and are good for arguments

First time i saw his name in this thread, I thought it was Demetrius Johnson the Mighty Mouse :lol:

From Rick Bonnell
Per NBA cap expert @BobbyMarks42: @hornets are 10th in payroll and dangerously close to that luxury-tax line of about $119.3 million.

Yet people wanna sit here and call MJ cheap. Charlotte is one of the worst markets in the league.
