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.

2016 – Looking for found money

The Celtics took 2015 off when it came to late-season signings as they were well into a rebuild and hadn’t gotten much from their earliest dabblings in this stage.

But in 2015, they turned to the G League, and signed forward Coty Clarke — a Summer League standout — to a pair of 10-day contracts that ultimately led nowhere.

Boston also signed forward John Holland to a multi-year deal, but only played a single minute of game time for the team before being waived over the summer.
