The Boston Celtics announced Thursday they have officially signed big men Guerschon Yabusele and Daniel Theis.<\/p>\n

With the two signings, the roster now stands at 16 players, excluding second-round draft pick Kadeem Allen who signed a two-way contract earlier this week. Barring a trade, the Celtics will have some training-camp competition for roster spots. Teams are only allowed to carry 15 players during the regular season.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

A 16th contract! And only 15 roster spots!!\u00a0This is Danny’s great gift to bloggers during the lull between the end of Summer League and the start of training camp.<\/p>\n

Who’s going to get cut?<\/p>\n

Is someone else\u00a0going to get traded?<\/p>\n

Does Danny have another deal in the works?<\/p>\n

How do you pronounce “Theis”?<\/p>\n

Why do you pronounce it that way?<\/p>\n

So many open ended questions!<\/p>\n

Those of us who have to come up with copy, rain or shine, 52 weeks a year are, I assure you, grateful for any bone that we may get tossed during the parched desert of July\/August, a time when those with weaker wills can succumb to crazy fever dreams\u00a0and perform\u00a0irrational\u00a0actions.<\/a><\/p>\n

So, my early, early, early prediction is that Theis is the odd man out. Mostly because I don’t know how to pronounce his name. I suspect the ‘h’ does about as much work in ‘Theis’ as it does in ‘Thom’ (and, by the way, that spelling really needs to go away).<\/p>\n
