Celtics sign PJ Brown

Well, PJ can still play to an extent, and they needed another big man. A guy with more size, and most importantly more experience. Also, aside from KG and Scalibrine, his jumpshot is an upgrade on the rest of their big men.

Pretty decent addition to the bench. Just get tougher.

Don't quite think he'll get his ring, though

hooray?

Great move. Veteran presence. Gives them more size and depth. Now just bring on Sam I Am.

that piece of crap...good move by the C's...

I'm gonna laugh if all these vets who are jumping on the Boston bandwagon to get a ring don't actually get a ring. They're gonna look really stupid if one of the Western perennial powerhouses win it like San Antonio.

a lot of ring chasers look stupid every year...a team full of them would be no different than a few of them here and there...it's hard to win it all...if Cassell winds up there (which i am doubting right now), they will be a playoff experienced team...

Brown doesn't have much left. His best quality will be his man to man post defense, which he is still really good at. He is however, very slow, like molasses. He really shouldn't play any 4, just 5 because of this. He cannot guard perimeter players (Jamison, Bosh, etc) because he can't close out fast enough to challenge the shot, or they'll just drive right past him. His still a serviceable rebounder. On offense he'll give you the jumper from the elbow, not much else. That will be erratic because it has no arc, it looks like a line drive heading toward the rim. There isn't much more to say about PJ, the C's wont use him excessively like the Bulls did last year, just when he's needed, and in that case, it is a decent pick up.

Well I'm one of the Boston haters who so far who is thrilled about the move,
he won't be effective at the five which is where they need help.

not anything major, but good nonetheless..better than Scalabrine..just a backup big man for the C's, so not much is expected..

Remembering him with the Bulls last season - I think this is accurate.

PJ Brown >>>> Magloire

Can't hurt the Celtic's chances.

A backup Center who's better than Pollard, will help since Perkins has been oft-injured and inconsistent.
