A history of the mixed results of recent Celtics late-season signings

The Boston Celtics have had mixed results from late-season signings, whether buyouts or overseas players. Some have helped hang banners — but most have flopped.

2014 – A new era begins

With the arrival of new head coach Brad Stevens and a rebuild now that team president Danny Ainge had sent the Big Three to Brooklyn for draft picks, the Celtics sought to use late-season buyouts to try and strike gold.

They did not.

But they did get the other Chris Johnson — this one a Dayton product, the other five years older and from LSU — who added 6.3 points and 2.4 rebounds per game on a pretty bad team.

Chris Babb was something of a fan favorite added in a similar vein, but only logged 1.6 points and 1.2 rebounds in his 14-game Celtics tenure.
