Bassey had 17 rebounds against Miami.
I wonder why the Cs didn't sign him after summer league.

Nothing wrong with having a different opinion - as long as it's done respectfully. It'd be lame if we all agreed on everything

Why ask that only about the C's?
All 30 NBA teams could have signed him to a standard contract at any point during the long offseason - including the 2 NBA teams he actually played real NBA games for (Spurs and Sixers who drafted him). All 30 teams decided against it.

Yeah, that's fair.
Trust Brad, I guess.

Bassey is not only a superior rebounder to anyone on this year's Celtics, he was a superior rebounder to anyone on last year's Celtics too. Same with shot blocking. That's it with him though. His drawbacks and injury history are real too.
Brad n' Mike want 14 guys at this moment, and you can't blame them. The rest of Bassey's game apparently isn't good enough to give up flexibility. If no one else is acquired later on in the season, he's still a possibility, especially if the rebounding emerges as an unfixable and unholy mess.

Maybe in the not so distant future there will be no more human referees running up and down the court.
It will be all cameras and drones who will be officiating the game.
