In other affiliate news, there's the rumor that either the Red Claws and/or the Celtics are looking to sign Romero Osby. Ainge still has an available roster spot, but he'll probably hold on to it until the trade deadline. Let's not forget that the Celtics hired Ronald Nored who played under Brad Stevens at Butler to head their player development and will also serve as an assistant coach for the Red Claws. Maine will be a breeding ground for Boston to development players in Stevens' mold who could play for the big club in the future.
