Arroyo is most likely of the list, Fisher is the one I'd like the most of the list, but I'd argue is also the least likely to come.
Celtics fan for life.

  • You ain't the boss of the freakin' bedclothes.
Johnny Flynn might be interesting, but I'd rather wing it and hope if Rondo goes down Bradley, Terry, or Christmas can handle the load.

Flynn would be interesting, in a "wouldn't it be interesting to have a D-league quality player run a championship contender?" sort of way.

He's shot below 37% from the field the last two seasons, including a robust 29% in Houston.  He's a poor outside shooter, and he turns the ball over way too much, while being a mediocre passer.

Yeah but he was interesting at Syracuse, Roy.

averaged more assits than derek last year and his entire career, also a better shooter, rebounder and scorer. When playing with terry or bradley they could guard the opposing one, and his big enough to cover the 3 where his a better rebounder than lee and has better size.

I kinda liked Arroyo. The others are entering "puke on my shoes" territory. I really miss E'twaun, shame we can't get him back now.

Well given that we had Dooling in that slot just a few days ago and he's not great shakes the pickings are going to be slim.

Yeah but he was interesting at Syracuse, Roy.

I actually had him on my [winning] fantasy team his rookie year when he was running the Twolves (when Rubio was also selected, but didn't come over). He certainly showed flashes, but has fallen off a great deal.

I'm always willing to give high lottery picks another chance in the Celtics system.

Tracy McGrady would be a great signing, because he can play next to Bradley and Lee and we won't die from lack of ball movement.

But he's pretty close to shot physically.

Yuck, yuck, yuck, and yuck.

Couldn't have said it better myself.  Put me firmly in the Christmas or Jamar Smith camp, at least until someone better shakes free.  You can get guys like the ones speculated on the scrap heap anytime.  Lets give the young guys a chance.

I like T-mac better, with the second unit, he can come in and be their floor general. He can post up, and do a lot of things. Doc coached him, and he may be able to reinvigorate this guy at least to the serviceable level. But among those 4, i sign fisher. experience and outside shooting
