Gary Payton called his agent and said he wanted to play for the Celtics after watching Tony Allen fall for Chauncey Billups' pump fake at the buzzer Wednesday, costing Boston a potential win.
"He called me and said, 'Hey, I'm reminding you that the Celtics are a team I feel like I can help,' " said agent Aaron Goodwin. The Celtics have two open roster spots and aren't exactly deep at point guard, with Eddie House, Allen and Gabe Pruitt backing up Rajon Rondo. We doubt the arrival of Payton would limit Rondo too much, but he would provide a calming influence off the bench, while not falling for Billups' pump fakes with the game on the line. Stay tuned.
