@ShamsCharania: Sources: The Boston Celtics plan to sign forward Jarell Eddie of G League Windy City to a 10-day contract. Boston filling its open roster spot.

If I'm not mistaken, he has been on this team before.

EDIT: Yes, he was on our team back in 2014 during training camp. Ainge claimed him off waivers shortly before training camp ended. However, Eddie got cut in the end.

Ainge said this about him back in 2014:
Quote
“He’s a player that we watched in college in Virginia Tech. He’s a player that we watched in his exhibition games with Atlanta,” Ainge said. “He’s always been a player that’s been intriguing to us.”

G-League stats so far: 10 games played, 32 min, 17.2 ppg, 4.1 rpg, 1.7 apg, 49 FG%, 50 3P%.

We’ve had an open spot all season.

We only have 14 players under contract right now.

Apparently we had him off waivers for 4-5 days back in 2014 before releasing him. He's a 3 point shooter.

This is probably the move that locks us into the 1 seed

You are right, TP ;D
Apparently, he's a pretty good 3 point shooter because he's averaging 50% from three point range through 10 games in the G-League

He looks pretty similar to Jabari Bird to me, which is not good for Jabari Bird.

I remember him on the Wizards. He kinda reminds me of a taller Eddie House:

Bird has tons of potential as a defender and is 3-4 years younger so he should be fine.

I'll take more shooting though.  Stevens brings Nader in for that and I think he is putting lots of confidence in his abilities but it hasn't been there.  I appreciate the Stevens confidence but it's at the limit with Nader.

Not saying Jarell Eddie has anything to do with Jabari Bird, but this illustrates one of the bad things about the two way contracts. Let's just say a guy like Jarell Eddie turns his 10 day contract into a full contract. He could potentially be in a better position than a guy like Jabari Bird who the Celtics are in no rush to move up given his contract allows (and encourages) him to stay in the G league.

You might see more guys decline the two way contracts in favor of being available for any team in the league to call up and try out.

  • A true Celtic plays with heart.
Eddie has been a very nice shooter, and nice form to be consistent. I think he will definitely replace Nader, because he is a better forward and he certainly has the tools to replace Nader in the rotation.

Why are the Celtics constantly signing these turds only for them to be moved
