Orien Greene Waived

orien helps the d and he’s big- that’s it. there’s no rush.

uh yeah this guy never could play – pass!

Orien Greene is so NBA marginal as determined now by three teams. What we don’t know about Pruitt may have more value than what we do know of Greene, ie potential.

You are still worried about the PG depth but it hasn’t been a weakness. Rondo is on track, House is maybe a little better than expectations and Tony Allen I guess played well (missed it) against Nets. Your 4th guy is Pruitt or O.Greene. I’d leave as is.

Some guy on MSNBC speculated that Knicks will buy out Marbury and Marbury could come to C’s. No way! I don’t know how Isiah manages to turn players into garbage but look at Steve Francis. Now Marbury.
 
We’re good. The players can get better together. We have a nice blend of young and old. Any mopre additions may be a subtraction.

Explain why we would want a Kings reject. They are desperate for a point gaurd with Bibby out and he lost the job. How exactly would he be a good fit for the Celtics?

Orien Greene is a terrible basketball player who from most accounts has not improved on iota since he was in high school. The most important thing that a PG on this team needs to be able to do is get the ball up the court, and he’s a worse ballhandler than Tony Allen. I’m certainly more comfortable having Ray Allen bring the ball upcourt than Orien Greene.

The one thing he does nicely is play good D (he’s a decent matchup against some smaller SGs, not just PGs), and while that’s nice…. where and when does he play? He just does not have NBA-level PG skills.

His next contract’s in Europe….

About time.

I hope this is the last we see of him in the league unless he develops because right now he’s a waste of space.

I’m surprised it took Sacramento so long to kick him out.

I’d rather see Scal playing PG with his right hand tied behind his back. Please. Just say NO to crappy players.

No need for OG. I’d rather play Pruitt.

Jeff, is it my computer or did this screen just change from green to orange and blue?

Off subject here, but how is our other old point guard, Delonte West, doing in Seattle? Doesn’t seem like his numbers are all that great.

If we could, I think he would be a good 10 day contract candidate. Unfortunately, 10 day contracts can’t be signed until January (I think it is the 5th). So for now, we are stuck.

if he ever learned to shoot he be a poor man daron williams.

If rondo who was just as bad shooter can right now, greene could theorically learn also as a celtic

however we are good at that spot now with rondo house pruitt.

I think it’s only fitting that we sign him to a 10-day deal so that he can retire a Celtic

if he ever learned to shoot he be a poor man daron williams.

Seriously? One could think that if they only watched the pre-season 3 years ago.

The only tihng Orien was good at was driving around Waltham at 3am, going down main street doing about 80. Good bye.

Orien is not the vetran prsense I want, but I always liked his D and his size. I say try him for 10 days.

Uh, no.

Not unless we’re founding a Boston Celtics Futility Alumni Association.

And we should start that with Gerald Green.
