Welcome to Boston, Jordan Walsh!

[Curmudgeon]

Isn't Jordan Walsh still 19??

He's the Benjamin Button of the NBA. Next year he'll be 18.

I think that Walsh gets Waived, before Opening Night.

I don't think so. He is a high energy player, plays hard, has a long wingspan, is a good rebounder, and a good defender. We didn't see him in two of the preseason games due an adductor strain. When he did get on the court, in SL, and the preseason, he showed well IMO. From what I can see, Coach Mazzulla values his contributions. While he likely will not be part of the regular rotation, he can provide an injection of energy, and can certainly fill a role as a reserve. There have been more than a few posters here who are down on Walsh, but I hope their are others who see what I see, and share my view.

I tink you keep Walsh and Baylor around this season. But I think they are on a pretty similar boat..where it's like, if they don't perform at a certain level this season, it'll likely be their last in Boston..

It is what it is..it's a business and it's really hard to make it in the league..I think they both are aware of all this too.

I also think they both really want to make it so we will see both of them try really hard this season. It'll be interesting to see what happens..minutes (hopefully) won't be just handed to them..they must be earned, especially since there's a lot of other guys who are fighting for those mins..

To me its pretty likely Walsh is here all year, there's no real reason to cut a young guy who's shown some flashes in a year before you might actually have playing time for him. Its not like there's some huge pressure to squeeze every drop of performance out of every roster spot this year. Even if he has only a 5% chance of working out its not bad bet to take that shot on a young guy with some interesting physical tools who you've had in your system. And there's no real financial reason to swap him out for someone else, he's making just about as little as a team can spend on a full time NBA roster spot.

Celtics hitting on one of Maylor/Walsh/Hugo would be HUGE for them moving forward. Figuring out if you have something there has got to be a developmental priority this year because the answer to that question has substantial effects on how you build going forward. A cheap wing contributo goes a long way towards building a viable roster under the 2nd apron.

Baylor Scheierman doesn't realize he is in the NBA and playing for the Boston Celtics, he still thinks he is playing a pickup game at the YMCA.

Celtics still haven't announced if they are picking up Scheierman's option for next season. If they decide to decline that option, I could see them trading him in the next 10 days to another team that does want to gaurantee his 3rd year and will send back a second or two seconds

It'd be great if Baylor and Walsh could be fused into one player, lol. You'd get Walsh's length and athleticism plus Baylor's passing, and you'd free up a roster spot to pick another lottery ticket off the waiver wire, lol.

Part of our problem is we have several roster spots held by guys who maybe/maybe not gonna be a part of the next championship run. But also, even you combine the best of Walsh and the best of Scheierman and that still maybe a guy who just shoots 31% on 3's and has a great career in Tel Aviv or Turkey or someplace
