The deal is done ...

It's official (nba.com):
BOSTON - The Boston Celtics announced today that they have signed guard Sam Cassell. Per team policy, terms of the deal were not disclosed.

Cassell, a 6'3", 193 pound guard, is in his 15th season in the NBA. Cassell was averaging 12.8 points and 4.7 assists in 25.4 minutes per game this season for the Los Angeles Clippers in 38 games. The former All-Star has appeared in 115 career post-season games and has posted career averages of 13.6 points and 4.9 assists in his playoff career. Cassell has posted career averages of 15.9 points, 6.0 assists and 1.07 steals in 976 career games.
Sam probably won't be playing tonight against Detroit, and even Friday against Chicago isn't a definite just yet ... but we have our veteran backup point guard, and right now that's all that matters.

Also, just to make this posting appear to be longer, I'll use it as an excuse to post this picture again:Man, I just can't get enough of them eyes (credit to Gendo from the Something Awful forums [somethingawful.com]) ...
