He was essentially New Orleans version of Pierria Henry, but willing to stay in the states instead of signing for more money overseas.

Pierra Henry can't touch his athletic ability.

So go back to the drawing board on that one, eh?

That being said, he is a two way with low expectations for him.

Geez, I didn't mean they were carbon copies of each other. They're athletic 25-year-old point guards with little to no NBA experience who could be passable 15th men on a roster. Neither seems very comfortable shooting a three; Lemon is better at dunking.

Is he a combination of Walt Frazier and Medowlark Lemon?  :D

Walt Frazier and Liz Lemon

First names that came to mind for me were a cross between WALTer Matthau and Jack LEMmON. Showing my age group a little I guess.

Brilliant!
'I was proud of Marcus Smart. He did a great job of keeping us together. He might not get credit for this game, but the pace that he played at, and his playcalling, some of the plays that he called were great. We obviously have to rely on him, so I’m definitely looking forward to Marcus leading this team in that role.' - Jaylen Brown, January 2021

Word is Coach Stevens took the signing and is looking forward to making the most of the situation. "When Danny gives you Lemons, make lemonade.", he quipped.
Yup

The Celtics have now officially signed Walt Lemon Jr.

With no two-way contract spots left, I expect Jabari Bird to be signed by the team very soon.  His tweet this morning was the grateful emoji.

They released Kadeem Allen. Doesn't that make a two way contract spot being available with Bird being able to fill it, if the front office decides not to bring him aboard on a contract.

Unless I’m misremembering, I thought they had previously signed Pierra Henry to a 2-way.  (But upon googling, I misremembered, or perhaps dreamed this?  It seemed so real to me.)

Correct.

Speaking of Allen, he just hooked on with the Knicks, although it just looks like a training camp deal.
