Peter May says… the deal is done
Tonight, the final piece of the puzzle tumbled out of Waiver Heaven at 6 p.m. as Sam Cassell became a free agent. He has signed a contract with the Celtics, according to his agent, and will bring the paperwork up with him tomorrow from Baltimore to join his new team.
The Celtics don’t expect Cassell to be available at practice tomorrow. It’s more likely that his first session with the team will be at Wednesday morning’s shootaround. It’s not known whether he’ll be able to play against Detroit Wednesday night; he has been out with a sore wrist.
Welcome aboard Sam.
