Sam Cassell to the Celtics - Fantasy Perspective
Although it hasn’t happened yet, the worst kept secret in the league is that Sam Cassell will end up with the Boston Celtics. Expect the Los Angeles Clippers to buyout Cassell before Mar. 1 and then for Cassell to sign a contract with Boston.
While the move will definitely be an upgrade for Cassell in the NBA, how is the move going to affect his value in fantasy basketball?
Surprisingly enough, it’d likely be bad news for Cassell owners. With the Clippers, Cassell gets to shoot and handle the ball as much as he wants. The Clips don’t have many scorers so Cassell has free rein to do whatever he pleases.
With the Celtics, he’ll have three superstars next to him. He’ll still be looked at to score now and then but he’ll at best be the fourth option on the team. On top of that, Rajon Rondo will likely continue starting. Cassell should still see around 20 minutes off the bench but that won’t be enough to keep up his current production.
If you can trade Cassell, do so now. Some fantasy owners may be excited about the fact that he’s going to end up in Boston. Don’t make that mistake.
