Not sure yet where Bass might be able to fit in with the Cs, but if there is a spot I would love to have him back as he is a true professional.. No complaining, always hustles, probably still has the skills he had two seasons ago, etc, etc.

A lot could be said that he could easily replace Sullinger for less money, but he will have to do some waiting because no team is going to run out to sign him early in July.

WIDE,

I WELCOME HIM BACK...GOOD SHOOTER, HUSTLE, GREAT WORK ETHIC, GOOD REBOUNDER..........CAN GIVE YOU QUALITY MINUTES OFF THE BENCH!

I MUST ADD....NOT A STARTER!

Brandon said he wants to re-sign with LA, but I'm not too sure LA will be interested. He's a good player and a good guy, but his game is pretty similar to Larry Nance's game.

What does it mean to excessive his option Brad Turner?

All jokes aside, If the Celtics decide to (yet again) hold off on making a major free agent move until the next offseason, I could see Bass being a guy they sign to a one year deal with a team option for year two where he is overpaid for this next season in order to keep the books clean in 2017. Like what they did with Amir and Jerebko.

Jared Dudley is another good candidate for such a contract.
