The news comes by way of The Boston Herald:

Lafayette played just one game with the Celtics last season, scoring seven
points in 22 minutes in a 106-95 loss to the Milwaukee Bucks on April 14.

With the offseason signings of such players as guard Delonte West, the
Celtics decided to let go the 6-foot-2, 195-pound guard from the University
of Houston to give Lafayette an opportunity to latch on with another team
during the preseason.

Really classy move by Danny Ainge here. The C’s signed Lafayette last April,
landing a top NBDL prospect on the early side in order to get him acclimated
to the team during the playoffs, while also landing a guy who had a decent
job of making the team (back then) signed for camp this year, on a
non-guaranteed deal.

As we all know though, things changed quickly this offseason. Avery Bradley
was drafted, Nate Robinson re-signed, Delonte West was picked up off the
scrap heap. The point guard position position that was once lacking any real
insurance off the bench, became arguably the deepest position on the roster.
Once West signed, the chances of Lafayette making this talented 15 man crew
turned from slim to none. The writing was on the wall.

So give credit to the Celtics for giving Lafayette a chance to make it
elsewhere, even before training camp started. They were under no obligation
to do it, but clearly did the youngster a favor by letting him latch on
somewhere else before next week, on a team where he has an actually shot to
make the cut.

To the same degree, you feel bad for a guy like Tony Gaffney, who was signed
at the same time as Lafayette last April. While Gaffney has his work cut out
for him to make this team, he at least plays a position at the 3 where the
team is sorely lacking depth. And that’s without even mentioning Marquis
Daniels fragile injury history. Gaffney at least has a shot to make the cut
next month. Lafayette’s dream in Boston is over before it even started.

Don’t be fooled, Lafayette has some game, looked terrific in the regular
season finale last year, and was maybe the team’s second best player at
Summer League in Orlando. There was just no way he was going to make this
roster. Best of luck to the guy.

Highlights of Lafayette’s brief detour in Beantown, after the jump:

上季只在我們這邊出賽過一場，22分鐘7分，他的位置上已經有太多人了(Nate,West,...)

基本上他還不差，只是roster太滿，早點釋出他還可以趕快跟別隊簽約

至於跟他在同時間簽約的Tony Gaffney因為能打我們深度不足的3號位，所以可能還會觀望

一段時間，暫時不會被釋出
