    He’s not going to play for us guys, we’re just buying second rounder for $4M.

    We’ll cut him probably today to keep the roster spot open for another move or a buyout guy.

    Springer is a fringe NBA player, but is a PG who can’t dribble or shoot, so of no use to us.

    BOS was always going to salary dump him at some point this season to save tax money.

    Strong on-ball defender, Ime type. Averages nearly 3 steals/36 for his career. Hasn't done much offensively but very few non-lotto picks for Boston do. He was a 47/44/81 guy at Tennessee and a scorer in HS. Hopefully he can find some of that.

    Doubt he plays over Holiday/Shep but who knows.

    All joking aside, this is a positive move--they essentially paid us to take him

    Just kinda underwhelming, we really need a backup point guard who can legitimately play in the rotation.

    I think Holiday is outta here tommorow. I can see Ime keeping Springer as a defensive specialist

    I expect this will be ahead of a move dumping the chaff like Tate, Landale, and Holiday.

    We need 2nd round picks to fill out the trade package that we will offer this off season.

    So, I actually really like this. I like Springer a lot - perfect Ime guy. I think there's a decent chance he'll get minutes here. And we get a SRP? Works for me.

    Tate will retire a Rocket is swear. Ime and Stone love this dude more than Sengun I’m convinced. Irrational but whatever.

    Just need somebody to take Holiday's minutes and ease FVV's a little bit. Second round picks only.

    Tate has been great in his role. He goes weeks without playing and when he's called on he plays winning basketball for us
