If Dragan Bender is still in the NBA in 18 months I'll be shocked.

Same could be said for Poirier and Green, the co-leaders in our disappearance poll.

Well Poirier has a guaranteed deal so he should be around in 18 months.

What is going on with this, other than Ainge stating the obvious? Were the Celtics interested in William's? Were they not interested? Were they interested bit William's wanted the Bucks? Reading between the lines it seems like the Celtics weren't interested

Chris Mannix thinks Celtics would be interested in Reggie Jackson if he is bought out FWIW

We need a big. Kanter and Theis are too banged up to be counted on to stay healthy throughout the whole playoffs.

This would be a celtics move.

It would be a great move. Team could use a bench player who brings something.....so what if it another guard. Reggie may not be Lou Williams but he’d bring some firepower to the bench.

Just get someone who can defend or hit an open three. Would be nice to get it in the same person of course. Whoever they get is just absorbing Ojeleye playoff minutes at best (I hope).

Reggie Jackson is a chucker. He would freeze out players like Hayward or Brown.

That is (was?) my impression as well. But I've just checked and he's dishing out 5 assists per game this season, with an assist-to-turnover ratio above 3. His FG% is suspect, though. It would be a rental I assume, as he's used to making lots of money that the Celtics won't be able to afford in the offseason.

I like Wanamaker getting minutes rather than Reggie Jackson

Would love Reggie Jackson. In the playoffs there are always games when you need that bench spark and currently the only guys who can score on the second unit are Kanter and Smart - not exactly confident in trusting them to go off in games

2x NBA Champion, 6x All-Star, Olympics Silver Medalist, World Cup Champion Pau Gasol is attempting an NBA comeback at a spry 52 years old. Any interest?

Celtics should wait a few years

What do you guys think of signing Chris Webber and Reggie Miller? Throw a contract at Marv Albert, too.

Doc just keeps picking up ex-Celtics for their bench. Amir and Zeller still available.

Give me Tristan Thompson or give me death. The rest of the names being mentioned? Gross.

May as well see what David Lee is up to.

This should be obvious to everyone but somehow it is not. Just in the last game, Montrezl Harrell dominated the Celtics bigs and kept the Clippers in the game. The game should have ended earlier than it did.

Who would the Celtics cut to open a roster spot for a buyout signing?
