Rip Hamilton has been released by the Detroit Piston, not amnestied, and will be looking to sign with a contender.
Hamilton averages 17 points, 3 rebounds, 3 assists in 12 NBA Seasons (9 with Detroit). His percentages are 45% FGs, 34% 3PT, 85% FTs. Like Celtics Ray Allen, Rip Hamilton is a UCONN alumni and has been compared to Future Hall of Famer Reggie Miller. While Hamilton isn't the three point shooter that Ray and Reggie are/were, he is just as good playing off the ball.
If the Celtics could bring him in it would provide them with a "backup Ray Allen" to back up Ray Allen.
At 6'6" Rip could also play some Small Forward.

I predict he's a Bull no later than tomorrow.
I hope the Celtics can find a way to get him, he'd be a great guy to have coming off the bench
Not CP3, who cares, meaningless
I would love to have him, Alot of people say hes going to the Bulls..He would be perfect for us...
I really hope they sign rip. love that dude.
i think that j-rich will be a Bull and rip comes to boston for the mid level
Don't need Mid-Level for Rip, he's still getting paid by DET.
I've heard that Chicago are involved in a three way trade to get Jamal Crawford.
He'd be really good. But I doubt he could play much SF. He lacks the bulk for the job.
would be nice to get him or Jamal Crawford
He's played forward before. He's such a hard match up on the other end that it makes up for it.
Havent seen a post yet so here it is I saw vince carter just got released by the suns, do you guys think itd be a good signing for the C's?
jamal crawford and a center, chandler or nene..
