Unfortunately, two things make him a bad fit: 1) His contract and its huge luxury tax implications for next season. Brian Robb already covered that; 2) He’s good at things the Celtics are already good at (three-pointers) and bad at one thing they are already struggling with (offensive rebounding). His skill set is somewhat duplicative in that way.

Z-Lo talks about Andres Nocioni and uses the word “average” 11 times in one article. That’s a lot of average.
At what point do the Celtics realize that the world does not end in 2011 (nor in 2012 despite what John Cusack may tell you)? I mean, you’re talking about setting up your newly-extended point guard with Eddie House and Andres Nocioni as his weapons post-Big-3. Noc’s fine, but didn’t deserve the contract he got from Chicago, and is only going to be, well, average.
Simmer down, C’s!

Absolutely. Noc offers minimal benefit this year and makes major upgrades or reloading next year much harder. Don’t do it.
