C's may land Brown

Posted by Marc J. Spears, Globe Staff February 27, 2008 01:56 PM

The Celtics appear to be close to adding free agent forward P.J. Brown to their roster.

Brown's agent, Mark Bartelstein, acknowledged it is "possible" that Brown could be a Celtic soon.

The 38-year-old Brown, who has been courted to return to his home state team, the New Orleans Hornets, has been inactive this season.

The Celtics have two roster spots to fill before Friday's playoff eligible deadline. The Celtics hope to land veteran guard Sam Cassell if he is bought out by the Clippers.

Brown, who has 14 years of experience, would bring needed depth in the frontline. The 6-foot-11 forward is known for his rebounding and tough interior defense. He averages 9.2 points and 7.8 rebounds per game for his career. He also would brings much-needed playoff experience, with 81 games under his belt with the four franchises he has played for, most recently as a member of the Chicago Bulls.

  1. Doesn't really matter. Still don't have enough athletic big men to hang with the Pistons in a 7 game series... and even think about trying to match up in the front court with Lakers. Celts are coming back down to earth and they're scrambling... PJ Brown? C'mon now.
