Washburn: Celtics Unlikely To Add Larry Sanders

[mr. dee]

Danny should take a flyer on him again this summer and see if his conditioning have improved.

I am dumbfounded by some of the comments here that are raking Ainge over the coals for not signing Sanders. This is a guy that stop playing for his team for two years because he wanted to smoke pot. He admitted that playing basketball isnt as big a priority in his life as other things like art and smoking weed.

But the Cs brought him in anyway, gave him a workout and determined he currently isn't even good enough to beat out James Young for a spot on this team.

SMH at some posters here. Just clueless.

Exactly. I for one is in favor of signing Sanders IF and only if, the staff thought he is currently good enough to join the team.

TP.  Sanders is not currently,an NBA-caliber player.

Hopefully you're not referring to mine because I thought my sarcasm was pretty obvious.

It was. And well written and humorous as well. You already reaped the ultimate reward of a tp.

No sir....I got your joke. Very funny stuff.

He probably couldnt' hit a 3 pt shot

Danny won't add a big man that can't hit the 3...

You just described Mickey

[Eddie20]

This is our same idiot gm that nearly ****ing signed javale McGee last year?  I'm done.  Time to find a new team to cheer for until ainge and company get serious about bringing a contender to Boston and not play chess every year.  Disgusting

Did you even bother to read the article? Specifically this part...

According to a team source, that workout didn’t fare so well and the Celtics have decided to continue their search for a defensive big man as they head to the second half of the season.

It sounds like they left the door open for that.

Ainge checked out Oden several times in the past, and was correct to pass on him then. I figure it is the same for Sanders. If he looked like an out of shape pot head , then Ainge is right not to sign him unless he gets it together.

LOL ......I guess Sanders could shoot the three as well as Sully.

You shouldn't be shocked. There was a large contingent here that were ready to crucify Ainge 2 drafts ago for not drafting that Upshaw kid Fresno State at 17. Not only did that kid go undrafted, he is also out of the league now  (and D League too).

Ainge makes mistakes but he's probably onend of the top 5 GMs in the league.

[Ogaju]

didn't the Lakers take a free agent flyer on Upshaw. The Lakers are a joke.

Thanks for the update. It could be us. Washburn tends to be a blowhard. The main thing is Danny has to get us a center. If it's not Sanders, it has to be someone else, or Danny has stabbed this year's team in the back.

Maybe Danny didn't sign Sanders right away because he's trying to trade for Noel or another center who won't cost the Nets' picks or even for Cousins.

I guess we'll find out very soon with less than two weeks to go for trades.

If we end up with no center, Danny failed this year. For that reason, I think we might be the team that made the offer. Or another playoff team made an offer, but Danny told Sanders he needed a couple weeks. If we lose Sanders to Golden State, Cleveland or anyone else, and he helps them, and Danny gets us no other center, Ainge should be roasted by critics. Although the Nets' picks give him a lot of wiggle room and amnesty for mistakes. Call it the Dolan card for Phil Jackson. Ainge is very powerful and would have to truly frag up the team to be put on the hot seat.

It's true what Shaq Attack said and I wrote a thread on this before. Ainge seems kind of incompetent when it comes to stocking the team with bigs.

Maybe they are waiting for a roster spot when we make a 3 for 1 trade?
