With injury to Avery Bradley, Boston will sign Vander Blue of Delaware in D-League to 10 day contract, league sources tell Yahoo Sports.

So he goes from being cut from his Israeli team to playing for the Boston Celtics. I'd say he wins that one. Even if it is short lived.

Gets some Brad Stevens tutelage too. Bet Stevens had something to do with it after last year's tournament.

Congrats Vander! Hope he takes advantage if given an opportunity.

I play Daily Fantasy Sports and saw this write up about Vander's signing. Sounds like he's actually gonna get some decent run tomorrow night against John Wall and co.

"With Jerryd Bayless (toe) and Avery Bradley (ankle) both hurting, and Rajon Rondo not likely to play in back-to-back games, the Celtics are quite literally out of guards. Blue could actually see decent minutes tomorrow night, and the fact Bradley couldn't return to tonight's game, and the signing of Blue, suggest that Bradley could be sidelined for some time."

Congrats Vander, make the most of your opportunity

I guess this answers the question of "when will Vander Blue make the NBA?"

Great to hear!

OT win, Dawsome, Steve Taylor Freed, Stone Rumors, Van - this has been a great 24 hours!

DegenerateDish · « **Reply #14 on:** January 21, 2014, 09:24:19 PM »

Interesting that the few national people who have commented, seem to love Vander to the Celtics.

The Stone thread got bumped. A couple more crystal balls went to MU.

Thrilled for Van--great news.

Went for 35 last night in 38 mins of D-League........now in the Association, props to him

Brad Stevens was praying to the basketball Gods....and they sent him Vander Blue on a 10 day contract

rocky_warrior · « **Reply #22 on:** January 21, 2014, 10:37:22 PM »

Hey hey, at least $28k in 10 days is never a bad deal! Good luck VB.

Otule's Glass Eye · « **Reply #23 on:** January 21, 2014, 10:42:15 PM »

Boston's current guards on the ESPN depth chart: Rajon Rondo, Avery Bradley, Jerryd Bayless, Phil Pressey. Out of those four, three are hurt, with Pressey the only one healthy at the moment. Bradley and Bayless are likely to miss multiple games, and Rondo is slowly coming back from his torn ACL and getting acclimated to playing again. Wojnarowski says Vander could get decent playing time right away, and the Celtics are trying to activate him for Wednesday's game. This looks like an awesome opportunity for Vander.

Ugh, now I really want to go to the game in DC tomorrow night with a big Vander sign.
