I see Stiemsma has an offer from a "third" unmentioned team, I gotta wonder if it's Portland - one last bit of Minny revenge? LOL "Restricted FA Greg Stiemsma has received an offer from a team other than the Timberwolves, and ESPN Boston reports that the Celtics "almost certainly" won't retain him. It's unknown which third team has entered the bidding for Stiemsma, but the Celtics are up against the luxury tax and their only flexibility resides in the $2.0 million biannual exception, which likely won't be enough to keep him"
I really liked Stiemsma last year, but he is definitely not a 2+ million dollar player. He is a good shot blocker, aside from that he plays terrible defense. He also is a very bad rebounder for a guy his size. There's a reason why KG had, far and away, the best +/- in the playoffs last year, and it's because Steimsma shouldn't be anywhere near the floor on a winning team. He lost his spot in the rotation in the playoffs. First to Ryan Hollins, then Doc Rivers just gave up on a backup center and started giving Marquis Daniels the minutes. I don't understand why he's getting so much interest from teams.
I would like them to take a look at Fesenko. He's a big body. He seems to be fairly skilled, but at times seems a little awkward. For a 15th guy I think he would be a good player to push Leonard and Freeland. Here is some of his post moves [video=youtube;9DIyqCq2RXc]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9DIyqCq2RXc[/video]
He's worth $5 mil 7 days a week. He blocks everything in sight and keeps the lane clear on the other end.
He's soft. He'll make 3 great blocks a game but the rest of the time he gets abused. I've watched every game of his NBA career, you're not going to convince me otherwise.
