07:47 AM ET 07.30 | The Celtics are looking to round out their roster. One option could be former Celtic Delonte West, who was dealt to Minnesota Monday but is expected to be waived. If the Timberwolves do that by Aug. 5, the full amount of West's contract is not guaranteed. The Celtics could bring him aboard for a modest price, adding a player known for his ferocious defense, but also for his checkered history off the court.

Would be a nice pick up for the Celt's on the cheap.... But dang - between KG & D-West all the players better put the lockdown on their wives, girlfriends and their momma's too......


BTW- What happened to the FN interns this morning with no threads till a couple minutes ago - All hung over?

Boston's perimeter is too deep. I don't think Mr West will get minutes. Plus Ray Allen's mum, compared to Gloria is hott. If I'm Ray Allen I'm like Oh no!!!

With the strong personalities on the team (Garnett./Pierce) I think he'll fit in Boston

Before dismissing his impact consider the positives

He plays D can defend most Eastern guards namely nelson, bibby, chalmers and jennings
He can hit the three, pass and facilitate (spell allen or rondo in short spurts)
lol...kinda has a "psychological effect" on bron' (insert mama joke here)

negatives
he's well.... "issue prone

All in all there are a few decent reasons to sign him

i think we can safely say that they're no players left in free agency that will make or break a team (sorry CP3)...i was just thinking of the Celts needing another defender/ shooter, or big man to help bolster their bench...which can make or break any team

Go to Boston, Bro.

He's a good player (Daniels) i'm not sure how reliable he can be for you guys down the stretch, but he has a good skill set and you're right he's due for a good season.

While you ate right....if your ainge, Why bring in another headcase that can be gone at any minute?I mean you took in Steph, nate, sheed, Daniels.....now delonte?why bother?

its about the player playing with a veteran team, it wont be any problems....nate did well for them because i believe he needed that veteran leadership...like i said its not a make or break pick up for anyone
