Today is the playoff eligibility deadline - will Boston sign a player?
If Danny Ainge and company are going to make a move to bolster the roster for the postseason, we'll soon know, as today is the final day for a player to be waived and have playoff eligibility, and all such eligible players must sign with a team by April 13 to play in the postseason.
What this means for the Boston Celtics is that players still on other team's rosters who have been floated as potential buyout candidates need to have been waived before 12:00 am, March 2nd. The Chicago Bulls' Robin Lopez and San Antonio Spurs' Pau Gasol are two such players who were rumored to potentially seek buyouts along the lines of what Jeremy Lin and Wesley Matthews sought last month.
