Agree. You need guys like Springer that can come in and change the game with about about 8-10 minutes of playing time.
I was not happy about letting Springer go. Role players can be the difference between winning and losing. I don't think the Celtics win the 2008 title without PJ Brown and his big shot against the Cavs.
For a team full of shooters, you need a guy like Springer to come in and get after it on the defensive end and change the complexion of the game. Especially with Jrue not right all season.
