Love this!  A low risk, high reward signing.  If anyone can motivate this kid, it's Brad Stevens.  Could be a great move...

C's must be tired of facing full-sized, leaping frontcourts with grounded mortals.

Hilarity to ensue.

(Also must be pretty confident that young Mr. Stevens has a good locker room well under control.)

Me too. But that tells you how much interest contending teams have in this knucklehead...

So I believe Philly is still on the hook for his full salary NEXT season. So in 2015-2016, we get him in a contract year where he will be motivated to show that he can play in the NBA. We probably got him for dirt cheap.

If he turns out to be good - awesome.  If not, just waive him. Low risk.

I dunno. A lot of contending teams actually really wanted him based on rumors. I can't believe so many reporters could be wrong about that many teams being interested in him so it seems he actually chose Boston if anything. Interesting. Maybe his agent understands that the Celtics are in need of a rim protector more than any team in the league so they saw it as a good opportunity. We'll see.

Wow. Didn't think I'd see this.

I'm surprisingly excited. No idea if it will make a difference, but the Celtics should certainky be entertaining here in the final months.

Highly skeptical of this move. I don't like him as a player. He doesnt strike me as a smart player. BUT, I understand why the C's would make things move. He's  an extremely athletic 7 footer who has the potential to be a rim protector for you under a cheap no risk contract. Also, the C's have legit no one at center except for Zeller.

Eh I'm betting his agent is steering him towards playing time. We're probably willing to promise him rotation minutes, no contender will do that even if they want him.
