Reunited? Cassell waived by Clippers.

Sam Cassell was waived by the LA Clippers today, and many think Boston is his next destination.

For the past 10 years Cassell has been one of the top point guards in this league, he's been vastly underrated, but he's always been a huge contributor, especially in his first seasons with a team. His first year in Minnesota he made his first All-Star Team, and the Wolves finally made it out of the first round (losing in the Conference Finals to the Lakers). His first year as a Clipper, he helped lead the team to their first playoff appearance in 2,000 years and they ALMOST made it to the Conference Finals (I think he was a very legit and overlooked MVP candidate that year).

Most think Sam-I-Am will be rejoining Kevin Garnett and head to bean town, if they do wind up getting him, I think it can legitimately put the Celtics into the finals, and maybe beyond. Even though the Celtics have had a great year, I don't think they were tough enough, or deep enough to win a title, but adding PJ Brown and Cassell can definitely change that.
