The Celtics just signed Troy Murphy, which means that the Heat don't get him. This is the kind of side benefit that the Red Sox get to enjoy every time they sign someone who might otherwise have helped the Yankees.
I've never studied Murphy's game, but the numbers show he's played 30 minutes a game for nine years and has averaged over ten rebounds a game five times, so he is a fundamentally sound grunt, which is what the Celtics need. Unfortunately, he has averaged only half a block a game, which is as poor an average as Kristic's. Well, if he were any better than that, then realistically, he wouldn't have been available for the veteran minimum salary. Shaq is supposed to be back for the Phoenix game.
