Boston Celtics Re-sign Sam Cassell

by Jim Weeks on Sep 29, 2008 10:03 PM EDT in Green Bandwagon

I would have loved to make it down to media day. Unfortunately I'm way too busy right now. And oh yeah I'm not really media. Damn. However, the biggest news of the day has to be Sam Cassell's deal. Barring a trade of some sort the C's are looking at 16 players right now. Something has to give in the coming weeks. Meanwhile, I'm looking to get back into the swing of things with links tomorrow with plenty of media day info. In the meantime check out JB's experience over at CelticsBlog. For what it's worth I'm having a hard time talking myself into another year of Cassell in green and white.

Sam I AM

The former Fly_Gerald_Fly checking in here, I would like to believe that Casell’s contract offer and invite to camp were done out of courtesy and respect, and perhaps with an eye towards adding him as a coach (How many can one team have?). But J.B.‘s report hints that his contract may be guaranteed which would make D-Miles the only player with a non-guaranteed contract. Is that right? If not than who does get cut? Scal? Pruitt? Surely they didn’t bring Walker and Giddens in with the thought that they might cut them.

That's what I thought

Cutting draft picks is really bad business. They’re young, relatively cheap, and in general organizations seem reluctant to do so. I’d also think they’d keep Scal around for a possible trade. I have no idea how this will work out. Although Patrick O’Bryant could be in trouble, even with the lack of depth at center.
