Mothers, Lock Up Your Daughters: Cassell Signs With Celtics



A free agent begging to be bought out to join the Celtics? I never thought I would write those words in my lifetime.

Say what you want about what he does to the average age of the Celtics, Rondo's confidence, or his well-documented resemblance to an extra-terrestrial: Sam Cassell is a Celtic, and I am glad.

No longer will I need watch through my trembling fingers Eddie House handle the ball, dribbling back and forth aimlessly near the half court line until the shot clock is down to 6 before jacking up a three (which usually goes in, but still). No longer will Gabe Pruitt be our second best ball-handler.

Cassell can dribble, pass, and score. Although I'm still a bit pissed after his flagrant foul on Rondo (who without a doubt is I Heart Celtics' consensus favorite Celtic), this is a good addition for this team, and a steal for the money.

As annoying as I find his face, he plugs a serious hole for the Celtics. As much as I love Tony Allen, he dribbles like a neanderthal, and Eddie House dribbles as if the ball was on fire.

Savvy move by the Celtics... now we see if they can pry the Birdman away from New Orleans...

Hey bp- we're outta roster spots now I think, right? I doubt we'd go after Birdman at this point.

Anyways excellent signing- really great reassurance for Rajon.

We are out of roster spots, but we can always send Pruitt down to the D-League, right!? When the Birdman is available, you have to make it happen!!!

Yeah but if Pruitt gets sent to the D-League he still is our property, hence no roster spot is allowed to open.
