No great must have options out there. I think Brad made a good move in Craig and is probably in wait and see mode. Wait and see if there’s any injuries, wait and see who might shake free, wait and see if team shows any need for minor tweaks that might change what kind of player they might look for, and maybe if we’re looking at promoting a 2-way maybe another team makes a move and we’re looking at someone else’s current 2-way becoming our own.

"Should"? Sign Drew Peterson in case you (god forbid) need him for any minutes in the playoffs. Don't cheap out and increase your risk of not winning it all, and wing depth beyond Craig is sketchy. That's what I voted for.

"Will"? Leave it open. That's my guess as to what will happen. But close observers of this board know I've been wrong -- then right -- then wrong(?) -- about this before.

Give me the spot and I’ll take a couple autographs and cheer and diss the refs for fun! I’ll diss the refs in such a nice nasty way they’ll think I love them!

Shak beat me to it. I don't even need to get a regular salary. Just per diem would be fine and access to their food spread for both players and media. That would save $$ on their tax payment.

Is this PJ Tucker Rumour actually got legs or just an unfounded Rumour sprouted by NESN ?

I've seen it in a few places, but I can't see why?
Tucker is 39, now.

I'd settle for no Tucker. I would leave it open before signing Tucker. Tucker was finished 2 years ago.

Haven’t seen PJ Tucker to Celts rumor, but in Philly they used him as the beef against Joker like how we used Al/Grant and then had Rob on the back line. Tucker so dang strong, even at age, he was up-and-into Jokic and really effective. In the case Denver makes it to Finals, PJ Tucker getting Tillman’s minutes would be potentially useful, in the Denver scenario anyway

Next we'll see suggestions to bring Semi Ojeleye out of retirement.

Wikipedia doesn't have anything on him since he was bought out of his contract by a Spanish team in 2023. Where did he go next?

Not on Lonnie Walker :)

Release JD and sign Copper Flagg to a 2-way. Convert him by the end of the season

Brad Stevens should sign Mo Bamba so Joe Mazzulla can go with a Quintuple big lineup (Porzingis, Horford, Kornet, Queta and Bamba). Big Al would probably have to bring the ball up the court.

Id co-sign Mo Bamba. Idk. He is only 26 and has shown to be a positive impact player in limited roles.
