They say Kevin Garnett is working to bring his former Minnesota teammate in, and that possibility is bound to be discussed over dinner tonight when Cassell enjoys a night off in Boston with his old friend before they play tomorrow.
"I could still play a little bit," he said. "I can get it done."
So would Cassell like to get a buyout from the Clippers, then move on to Boston as a free agent? Put it this way: With the Lakers getting Pau Gasol, he'd be crazy to want to stay in L.A.
"That's the only way anything can transpire," said Cassell, before icing the win with a 16-foot jumper in the final 30 seconds. "I don't want to get into all the details. I just play the game of basketball. But that's what (agent) David Falk is for. And he's working. He's working."
He pretty much summed it up, so I guess it is just a matter of time until he joins us. Probably 3 weeks from now.
You know how hard Garnett lobbied for Reggie Miller, but this is a totally different story. We are actually in real need of Cassell. Sam is a lock to end up in Boston if he isn't traded within the next 16 days.
