You look at the Celtics gaudy record and try to use this spot to fill in a weakness. We are going to see closer games and better teams. This team has a propensity to be up by 10 points with 3 minutes left to be fighting for their lives in the last minute, throwing the ball all over the place and missing free throws. Patty Mills can handle the ball, hit free throws, hit an occasional 3, and is a veteran.
It's kind of like an NFL team using such a roster spot on a long snapper. But if the existing long snapper is frequently firing it over the punters head you might need to consider it.
We have seen enough end of game fire drills to think about it
Brad Stevens on fans who want the Celtics to tank: "I don’t think they’ll like me all that much then."
