Wanamaker,Bird and Lemon-cheap and cheerful

[rollie mass]

Wanamaker has a volume of work to view and experience running the point. He is 6-4 strong and is not somebodies cast off. He was one of best players in Europe .And at 29 still in his prime,

.Bird made the roster and showed last season how effective he can be .Great lift and the same can be said for Lemon on a two way.Boston again has shown it rewards hard work this is a great move for G League and NBA.
Lemon has a 48 inch vertical, can he be in the NBA dunk contest?
I have always thought that point guards took time to mature.
Training camp is going to be electric.

I don’t know much about Lemon and Wanamaker other than highlights but it appears we improved the end of the roster talent level as well as NBA readiness for game action.

I think we still have 1 2 way roster spot open, correct?

We only have a two-way contract slot left. The NBA roster is full.

Worth noting that Wannamaker has built in chemistry with Theis from their time playing together in Germany. That's a pretty rare luxury to have established continuity on the deep bench units.

Bird with Jaylen also, really feels like this roster was built with chemistry in mind.

i noticed ainge likes to  does this. Remember jajuan Johnson and etwaun Moore both from same Purdue team or the late fab melo with kris Joseph both drafted from same Syracuse team

Having a deep team helps.

I remember that one amazing playoff game that Leon Powe had.

Who doesn't like a cheap and cheerful lemon?

Ainge: Hey Brad, what kind of players would you like for me to go after this offseason?

Stevens: I'd like a creator to run our bench squad and even spot start if Kyrie isn't 100%

Ainge: Hey.  Hey Brad, Wannamaker instead?

That game and the Finals game where he went nuts rank among the happiest moments of my years as a Celtics fan.  I REALLY wanted Powe to succeed.  Dude was a workhorse, and truly hoisted himself into the NBA by his own bootstraps.  Realizing that his knees would probably limit his career I was beside myself when he erupted for those games.  Oh yeah, and we won the championship.

When you have 3 Max players....you need some cheap talent...last year, we had no idea how good Theis would be.

In reference to Leon Powe, we also got to hear Phil Jackson talk like he didnt even know who Powe was. I am sure after that one big game though that Jackson remembered him.

When he intentionally mispronounced his name to sound like his guy Pau.

Is a 42 inch vertical leap the only thing Lemon can do? I'd rather have someone who can contribute to a championship team than someone who can participate Slam Dunk contest.

He's a pretty lethal scorer, averaging 22.4ppg over his last G-League season. He's also an underrated playmaker, and uses his quickness and athleticism to play the passing lanes well on defence.

But mostly, he just gets buckets. He lit up our Redclaws with 40

Its a 48 inch vertical and unless it was a misprint, that is unique enough to mention..He is quick and that hang time makes for some acrobatic layups-the Celtics open up some lanes that are like the Autobahn.
The Celtics have gotten long and athletic gone are the days of Sully,Kelly and Zeller.
Brad is so good at identifying matchups and plugins to take advantage the elite skills that Ainge gets him.
