Here’s the latest on the Cassell buyout, acccording to ESPN’s J.A. Adande:
Three sources said that the Clippers would buy out the remainder of Sam Cassell’s contract this week and that he would sign with the Celtics assuming he passes through waivers.
“Can I be effective with that team?” Cassell said before the Clippers played Boston Monday night. “I think that team is lacking … Rondo is a great young talent. In the playoffs, it takes more than talent to win playoff basketball games. Leadership means everything. Knowing who to get the ball to, knowing when to run, knowing when to set it up. I have experience.”
Sam might sound a bit cocky in that quote, but he’s right. As I’ve stated many, many times, Cassell would be a great complement to Rondo and the C’s.
First of all let me tell you that alien boy is old ass F*UCK. He’s probably an in dangered species.
He’s in danger?….of winning a championship? I would have rather had Barry or Magloire, but it should be a positive addition if it happens.
Cassell will be fine as an off-the-bench veteran piece, 12 to 18 minutes a night, giving a little advice and leadership for the championship run.
No Joke, homeboy is old enough to be my grandpa. its pretty gay how boston is hoping to sign his old ass. It doesnt matter, Detroit is going to own boston in the playoffs.
Old-ass Cassell would be the starting point guard for the pathetic Lakers.
The Lakers are still bitter from when old man Payton led them to a title.
