The Globe is reporting that the Celtics could be close to signing PJ Brown. Brown, who was looking for the MLE before the season and had hinted about retiring has recently changed his mind and would like to finish the season out with a contender.
Brown's agent, Mark Bartelstein, acknowledged it is "possible" that Brown could be a Celtic soon.
The 38-year-old Brown, who has been courted to return to his home state team, the New Orleans Hornets, has been inactive this season.
The Celtics have two roster spots to fill before Friday's playoff eligible deadline. The Celtics hope to land veteran guard Sam Cassell if he is bought out by the Clippers.
Brown, who has 14 years of experience, would bring needed depth in the frontline. The 6-foot-11 forward is known for his rebounding and tough interior defense. He averages 9.2 points and 7.8 rebounds per game for his career. He also would brings much-needed playoff experience, with 81 games under his belt with the four franchises he has played for, most recently as a member of the Chicago Bulls.
This is good news. A much better addition than Magloire. I like it. Hopefully he has kept himself in shape while waiting to sign with a team.
UPDATE:
A league source is now saying he will sign soon.
According to a league source, P.J. Brown will sign with the Celtics soon. It is uncertain when the forward will begin practice with the team or play in his first game .
