Would Kasier Gates or Kenneth Faried make sense as Boston Celtics signings?

If Boston turns to the G League for end-of-bench options, these two stand out.

What potential hidden gems could the Boston Celtics sign in free agency? Are there players who might have played in the G League last season and could provide valuable contributions to the team on one of the club’s two open roster spots?

Forward Kaiser Gates is known for his 3-point shooting in the G League and has history with the Celtics organization as a previous training camp invitee. Big man Kenneth Faried started a comeback attempt in Mexico City’s Capitanes at the G League level and could be a solid option for the Celtics to consider.

The hosts of the CLNS Media “How Bout Them Celtics!” podcast dived into potential G League options for Boston’s open roster spots.

Check out the clip embedded above to hear their thoughts on what the Celtics should do with them.

Brooklyn Nets promote Kaiser Gates from G League to roster

A report indicates that the Brooklyn Nets have signed small forward Kaiser Gates.

As training camp begins to come to an end the Brooklyn Nets have signed another small forward to the full-time roster.

According to reports, Brooklyn has added small forward Kaiser Gates to their roster, promoting him from the Long Island Nets.

Gates recently played for Hapoel Jerusalem of the Israeli Basketball Premier League. He didn’t necessarily have a stellar year as he only averaged three points and three boards per contest. Gates played in a handful of games for Jerusalem but really didn’t improve his stock.

Gates has experience with a couple of G League teams including the Windy City Bulls and the Maine Red Lobsters.

In his collegiate career Gates averaged a little over five points per game for the Xavier Musketeers.

Gates likely won’t get a whole lot of playing for the Nets as there are much better roleplaying forwards on the roster. The team will bring him in if injuries ensue around the Nets roster.

Nets sign Elie Okobo, Kaiser Gates

The Brooklyn Nets’ training camp roster has increased back to 20 players with the two new additions announced on Wednesday.

The Brooklyn Nets signed free agent guard Elie Okobo and forward Kaiser Gates on Wednesday. According to Brian Lewis of the New York Post, both players were signed on Exhibit 10 deals. With Okobo and Kaiser’s signings, the Nets’ training camp roster has bumped back up to 20 players — Brooklyn’s training camp roster dipped down to 18 after the franchise requested waivers on guard Jordan Bowden and forward Nate Sestina, both of which went undrafted this year.

For the last two season, Okobo was a member of the Phoneix Suns organization, playing in 108 games at the NBA level. Last season, he played in 55 games, averaging four points, 1.6 rebounds and 2.1 assists per game while playing in 13.1 minutes a night.

Gates played with the Windy City Bulls (Chicago) in 2018-19, then the Maine Red Claws (Boston) in 2019-20. In 36 games with Maine, the Xavier alum logged 12.2 points, 7.3 rebounds and 2.0 assists per game while averaging 32.6 minutes a night. Gates has yet to log any minutes at the NBA level.
