The Boston Celtics sign Mike Sweetney

Found December 12, 2011 on Celtics Locker:
PLAYERS: Mike Sweetney
TEAMS: Boston Celtics,  Chicago Bulls

The Celtics have signed 29-year old power forward Mike Sweetney.  Sweetney last played in the NBA back in 2006-07 with the Chicago Bulls.  Sweetney has played in 233 games (73 starts) in his first four years in the NBA and he is averaging 15.5 minutes, 6.5 points, 4.5 rebounds and 0.6 assists per game.  If Sweetney is in shape, he could help the Celtics off the bench….so this was a nice very low risk/high reward signing for them.
