When is the last time we went to Training Camp, with only 18 or less players?
And Olynyk, is still injured.

Tibor Pleiss, was let go. He'd be good for our Training Camp.
He's only 26, and 7'3". -- He still gets paid his $3M Salary, from the Sixers (after being traded from the Jazz).
Though they can stretch him.

He started 28 games, in the D-League: FG = .583 -- 3pts = .316 -- FT = .877

Let me start by saying I think the odds that Pleiss ever becomes a rotation level big are very, very slim. I "scouted" him by watching 5 minutes of YouTube highlights from Summer and D League games. That makes me an expert. He has good touch around the basket and he runs and moves his feet pretty well for a 7 footer. He is a stringbean. Draftexpress says he is 220. It looks like the weightroom was not on his Google maps. He is also almost 27. If he was 20, and added 30 lbs of muscle, he would be intriguing. He can make a good living playing in Europe, but the NBA is a man's league.

Other sites have him as much as 270. -- That 220 must have been awhile ago.
I was just surmising that we give him a Camp Deal. -- Not a Fully Guaranteed Contract.

I hear you. At 270 he has more of a chance. He can definitely play. He has decent range and appeared to have at least average defensive awareness and played "vertical". He might be interesting.

On Pleiss, as a german it hurts to say this but Pleiss is not NBA material, he's to soft. Not physically but mentally, Celtics fans would turn on him (or Ainge for signing him) so fast that it wouldn't even be funny.

Pleiss has skills but he doesn't want it bad enough. In germany or spain for that matter he was really good when the competition for his spot was weak and he had full support of the coaching staff behind him. I doubt he is comfortable battling for 3-5 minutes of garbage time, at this point he's bound to return to germany and finish his career here.

7'6", 235lbs (often listed as high as 275), and 12 seasons under his belt, Shawn B. says hi. And the league was 3 times as physical when he played.

They also didn't have many centers and PFs jacking up 3s in small-ball lineups.

Last players who wore their numbers:
7 - Sully; 9 - Rondo; 30 - Holland (1 playoff game), Bass before him; 42 - David Lee.

I also noticed that Marcus Georges-Hunt is no longer listed on the roster: http://www.nba.com/celtics/roster/
He was a couple of days ago.

Pleiss is likely headed back to Europe, assuming he clears waivers. He wants to play and not in the D-League or junk time off someone's bench.

Celtics are still in the market for another big for camp from what I've heard. They intend to take it slow with Olynyk and Mickey has some slight concerns as well. And the team wants to manage reps and PT for Horford and Johnson too. I almost wouldn't be surprised if they brought in two bigs. The wing and PG spots have enough bodies.

Not sure why he dropped off, but Georges-Hunt is still part of the team. Could just be how they are arranging the roster for now or something.

Someone wrote in another thread that it was the player who decided on staying one more year in Europe. He wants to succeed and have a long career in the NBA and he felt he could arrive to the Celtics with some more learning made

Yes - and working out with Bender. Hope we didn't make a mistake with Bender.

I don't think we made a mistake. I want him to be successful, but I really don't see it.
