Low risk, high reward guy who could be had for dirt cheap and fills a need.

But nope, we won't even take a chance on him, because god forbid James Young loses playing time as a result ::)

Man, that's disappointing. I trust Ainge though, if they think Sanders looked cooked or too out of it to take a low risk signing , then I believe them.

Then again, they did pass on Birdman Andersen after a workout for similar reasons when KG and Pierce were still here, and then Birdman killed it in the playoffs for the Heat.

Good on the Celtics for doing their due diligence but I'm not surprised the C's don't want to cut anyone to bring in a player who hasn't played basketball in 2 years. Especially if Nerlens is still a possibility. I'd rather have Nerlens.

I wish the best for Sanders, though. I think he's an interesting guy.

Hopefully that means he's chasing another significant upgrade for our bigs rotation.

At least this is confirmation that Sanders did work out for us recently. Add that to rumors of talks for Vucevic, and that the Celtics had no interest in Melo because he doesn't help address our defense and rebounding, it looks like things are moving on the search for a big man upgrade.

Well, as long as his solution is not the next Mikki Moore or Troy Murphy, we should be ok.

Jeeze... The guy hasn't played meaningful basketball in four years and retired from the NBA two years ago to smoke pot...

Don't you think there's a chance that he legitimately might not be an NBA caliber player anymore?

Disappointing. The Celtics just cannot find starting-caliber centers. I've only been a C's fan since '08 and have yet to see a legit Center on the team since Perk. I've seen Old Shaq, Kristic, Erden, Big Baby, KG, Zeller, I've seen attempts at Iverson, Melo, Faverani, Milicic did JJJ play some center? like ugh!

One of these days!

Maybe Sanders didn't show much..... maybe.

He has been away from the game and has made some bad decisions in the past. Lot of reasons why he maybe didn't perform well.

I think that I will lose my mind, though, if another team (esp GS, Cavs, Raps) give him a chance and he shows that he had something left.

Well apparently our brilliant gm didn't think so and bothered to work him out.  Surely if those were prequesites someone getting paid to actually know talent woulda thought about that ::)

Of course it is possible that sanders did poorly in the work out.

He probably can't hit a 2 point shot either or a free throw.
