Are Dinwiddie or Robin Lopez viable buy out options for us?

Jerry Springer, I thought he had either retired or died?
Well, those Celtics Post Game shows will be more confrontational now...

This is the best day of my life.
As some others here can vouch for, I think Springer can be a legit rotation player sooner than later.

The Springer deal is interesting to me. Statistically, he stinks for a year 3 guy. But at the same time, he's only 21 years old and he's a former 1st rounder (28th). The only conclusion I can draw is that Springer is a guy Brad & staff have tracked for many years and like. They must see something. Color me intrigued.

Jaden Springer in Not a Bonafide NBA player.
He's been with the G League "Delaware Blue Coats" since he came into the League.

agreed, and I'd bet a bunch that what they like with him starts with "d" and ends with "efense"
