C's waive Christmas, Smith

http://0rz.tw/buRis

The Boston Celtics released guards Dionte Christmas and Jamar Smith on
Tuesday, trimming their roster to 16 players two weeks before the start
of the regular season.

Both players were vying for roster spots on partially guaranteed deals
after strong showings with the Celtics' summer league teams in Orlando
and Las Vegas, but neither did enough in camp and exhibition play to nail
down a spot.

The Celtics will eat roughly $250,000 in guaranteed money, including
$236,800 for Christmas, whose minimum deal was half-guaranteed.

The moves could indicate that rookie second-round draft pick Kris Joseph,
playing on a fully non-guaranteed deal, is closer to securing a spot, but
Boston also might be pondering adding a veteran ball-handler for one of
its final roster spots.

While $250,000 doesn't sound like much to absorb for a team with a payroll
of nearly $72 million, Boston is hard-capped at the $74.3 million tax apron
after using the full value of its mid-level exception on Jason Terry,
leaving every dollar valuable while trying to construct the deepest 15-man
roster possible.

The team still has two non-guaranteed camp invites on the roster in Rob Kurz
and Micah Downs.

- Christmas和Smith都再見了。

- 球隊陣容目前剩下16人，還在考慮會填滿15人名單或是保留一個位置看
  看有沒有老將要加入。

- Kris Joseph應該會留下，球隊覺淂他的未來潛力比較好。
