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.
