Teams are making a number of moves to round out the end of their roster this time of year — the Mavericks waiving JaVale McGee and the Kings picking him up, for example — and most of those moves are flying under the radar now and will not have much of an impact during the season.
The Celtics signing Svi Mykhailiuk to a one-year minimum deal could be the exception to that rule. Boston confirmed the signing on Friday (Michael Scotto of HoopsHype broke the news the day before).
Mykhailiuk, a Ukranian native, has bounced around the NBA for five years (Lakers, Pistons, Thunder, Raptors, Knicks) but when given a chance with a struggling Hornets last season he showed he can contribute.
