Yeah... as in Michael Sweetney. So tweets Adrian Wojnarowski.
Doc Rivers sounds
determined to keep Mike Sweetney. Celts plan had been to help him lose
more weight and hope he could contribute by midyear
And then he asks the obvious question.
Boston doesn't have the roster space to keep him, and would need to get rid of one of its guaranteed contracts. Giddens? TAllen?
How can I put this gently?
I don't care which of those two guys sticks around. If it's Tony, then we get the Roberto Duran "hands of stone" jokes we can tell... which is just a way to mask our frustration with yet another in a long line of high-flying guards that have never quite panned out in Boston. If it's Sweetney, then we've got fat jokes until he either eats his way out of the league or shuts us the hell up.
Your move Sweets. If Doc is giving you the final rose... then make it worth something.
I'd personally rather keep Giddens... at least there's some unknown potential there.
