Stiemsma signs with New Orleans

When Mike Dyer wrote his remaining free agents article, one guy that drew a lot of attention was Greg Stiemsma, aka the next Bill Russell. Well, unfortunately (or fortunately, depending on the way you look at it) he is not going to rejoin the Celtics roster as he has decided to take his talents to the Pelicanland.

Greg Stiemsma will sign with New Orleans today, agent Mark Bartelstein says.

As much as I liked Stiemsma's work ethics and shouting his name whenever he entered the game, I didn't quite understand why people would want him back on the roster. Well, I wish him luck on the Pelicans as they belong to the set of teams whose off-season motives are quite difficult to figure out.
