Celtics should clearly pass on potential gift from conference rival

When the Milwaukee Bucks signed Cam Thomas, the organization's general manager, Jon Horst, touted the former first-round pick as someone who would help the franchise contend this year and in future seasons.

After Thomas erupted for 34 points off the bench in his second game with the Bucks, Milwaukee's head coach, Doc Rivers, said that the former LSU star reminded him of two elite sixth men he coached on the Los Angeles Clippers.

"I've had Jamal Crawford. I had Lou Williams. And now, I have Cam Thomas," said Rivers post-game, per ESPN.

Just over a month later, the Bucks have waived the fifth-year guard, per ESPN's Shams Charania.
