Cassell joins Celtics, Giricek heads to Phoenix

Sam Cassell has officially signed with the Boston Celtics, after a fiasco of him begging to go there for over a month now. This is a huge addition for the Celtics, absolutely gigantic if you ask me.

In addition to Cassell heading back to the Eastern Conference, Croatian shooter Gordan Giricek has signed with the Phoenix Suns. Giricek shoots the rock really well, he can heat up. We've seen what happens when people join the Suns, besides Shaq, they have career years. This is a great signing for them, I think he has the ability to really tear it up, once they figure out the formula to The Big Aristotle. Giricek is going to get tons of open looks from long range, you will probably hear a lot about him in the coming weeks.

Theo Ratliff officially signs with Pistons

While the Celtics wait for Sam Cassell, the Pistons got a backup big man in Theo Ratliff.

Ratliff returns to the place where he started his career. Here's a great picture of Ratliff and his new teammate from back in the day. Crazy to think it's been over a decade...
