The Celtics signed free agent guard Von Wafer yesterday for the veteran minimum, adding a 3-point shooter Celtics president Danny Ainge was eying. Hoopsworld reported the Celtics beat out the Cavaliers and several foreign teams for Wafer's services. Wafer, 25, was drafted in the second round in 2005 by the Lakers, and has played with the Clippers, Nuggets, Blazers, and Rockets. He signed to play with Olympiacos in the Greek Euroleague last August, but was waived in December. His strengths since his days at Florida State have been size (6 feet 5 inches) and scoring ability. Staying power has been an issue, however.
The Celtics had shown interest in bringing back Eddie House, but the veteran guard signed a two-year deal with the Heat. The Celtics are still in the market for a backup big man.
