He’s still repped by Rich Paul— shouldnt have gotten my hopes up.

Edit- NM, hes a Roc Nation guy— thought Paul signed both of them last year.

Morrises parted ways with RP. They now share an agent with Kyrie.

Why would he go to Toronto? He wouldn't play over Gasol, Ibaka, Siakam, maybe even Boucher.

I wouldn't close the door on an IT and Celtics reunion. If Kemba's knee continues to act up over the next few weeks I wouldn't be surprised if the Celtics bring in another vet point guard and yes IT will probably be a candidate.


I feel like youre onto something here.

These guys all suck. Every time one is signed I breathe a sigh of relief.

Well, Marvin Williams would have been OK.

I have a strong stomach, but i just straight up couldn't do another Morris twin.

I know Flask Daddy was part of the ball sharing problem, but Flask Brother does intrigue me. He's at least a body we can throw at Giannis who can be a better threat offensively than Semi.

It’s amazing to me some people think we want these dudes?

Ainge’s big lesson from the last couple of years — which he’s said repeatedly publicly — is not to put older guy road blocks in front of the younger guys we want to develop.

I voted no buyout signing in the poll. Looks like that would be the case.

Kieff should go to HOU. Beating out Benzo and Carroll for the token tall person minutes should be pretty easy. I think he'd help them a bit. Plus, not LAL.

lmao Markieff v Marcus. The battle of which player will take more shots away from his better teammates. Tune in to the WCF for the ballstopping spectacle of a lifetime.

I was right there with you. I was looking to give one away too. lol

Only thing that surprises me is that Philly is not in that rumor too. EVERY player that becomes available is rumored to be going to Lakers. Clippers, 6ers, or Rockets. Every single one.

As far as It goes, if we sign him we need to give up Edwards. If we don't, we will be over our 6 foot and under guards quota.

Celtics Sign Pavlovic | Boston Celtics



This is the high point of Celtics buyout signees?



Celtics are winning by having most of the buyout players ignore them. There is nobody worth signing, close to nobody, among released players and free agents

Even Dusty Hannahs has signed with a team.


Once again, the answer to the best player to sign, it is Tacko Fall.


When the options are a Morris Brother, or a Morris Brother, there are no options.


When is the deadline for players to be released to then be playoff eligible for their new team, a week away?



Broken Brinks Truck?

You would rather have him shooting the ball than Semi and some others, so it would not be terrible, but it could be.

Return to Boston Celtics
