The Celtics may consider signing recently waived F/C Chris Johnson. |
Johnson actually played in several games for Boston last year and with the recent news that Chris Wilcox and Jermaine O'Neal are being shut down for the year it makes some sense. Even if he did make his return to Boston, Johnson belongs on waiver wires. |

Trail Blazers coach Nate McMillan intends to play at least three reserves in Monday's opening night game -- Jamal Crawford, Nicolas Batum, Kurt Thomas and possibly Chris Johnson. |
"Nothing is set in stone," McMillan said. "There are three guys that definitely are going to be coming off (the bench and playing) and then we'll see after that." Avoid all of Portland's other reserves unless someone emerges from the first few weeks with a reliable role. |
