I have asked the same question. A guard that can't dribble or shoot. Yuk. Hal says Walsh is a PF, but the Celtics website lists Walsh as a guard. There are some here who feel they know better than Brad Stevens.


And replace Walsh with whom? There needs tp be 14 players and Walsh is a small contract with experience with the team. He's basically the 14th man at this point. Unless he is in a trade, might as well keep him.

I meant cut him while he was only guaranteed 200k. Replace him with a PG or center. It's moot at this point, but that's what I think they should have done. He's a g-league player. That should be more than clear by now.

Because someone like me, a 54 year old school teacher, could go out and do the same thing he does...which is nothing.

OK, then he can be replaced by you, if you're willing to play for 2.2M this year. 8-)

In any scenario, they need to fill that roster spot with a player at same or lower contract. I'd wait until the chips start to fall on some trade scenarios as he might have value in that way if he's not going to contribute much on the court.

I have no problem taking the same contract and to help the team, I am willing to take significantly less. :lol:
