Celtics Workout Morrison, McCants, & More

Interesting piece of news today regarding the Celtics and a few NBA free agents. According to Adrian Wojnarowski’s Twitter, the Celtics have recently held workouts for Adam Morrison, Rashad McCants, Cuttino Mobley, and Trenton Hassell:

Some intriguing names on that list.  I assumed we already had too many players under contract in the first place, but I like what Danny is doing here.  All four players would be low risk moves. I have always been a big McCants fan.  I watched every game he played at UNC and the talent is there.  After reading Chris Palmer’s article a few months ago, it sounds like he still needs some attitude adjustment, but is well-deserving of another chance.

Morrison fell off quick.  I never thought he was the next Larry Bird, but he couldn’t even manage being a role player in the NBA.  It’s doubtful he will ever live up to the expectations, but that doesn’t mean he couldn’t contribute to a team like the Celtics.  Hassell could help people forget about Tony Allen’s defense while Mobley seems to be a long shot.  He would bring some veteran presence, but this team has plenty of that and I am not sure how much he really has left in the tank.  Keep exploring those options Danny… it can’t hurt.

    Get McCants in here before he lights up the Celtics for 25. Shooting it well and athletic enough to be a factor. Morrison is Scalabrine

    Agreed, I want to take the small risk and sign Rashad. Just not sure whose roster spot he would take.
