I don't like it for the Boston Celtics, but they need a good player there in exchange for Tatum while he is still healing. He may not be as productive offensively as Tatum, but a player with ball-handling skills plus the big body for rebounding skills could be a good option for them. Strengthen the defense and let JB do the work on offense.
It's not a bad choice, but maybe a short contract will be fine until JT is back.
Like you, I don't see him fit with the Celtics, but if it's a team-friendly contract then adding him will not be a burden at least to the team. A minimum contract should be fine for him.

He nowhere near as he is back when he's a Sixer. When he's on the Clippers, he's averaging around 5 APG and 4 RPG per game, and TBH, it isn't enough even for a role player, and if you're the coach, you can't rely on a player like that. The only reason why many are getting him at least for me is his defensive capability. He has a big body, but he can't even use it to get those boards maybe because he doesn't have that much playing time.
Overall, I don't see how he will fit with the Celtics, but like what I said, they can just waive him anytime... or who knows. They might put him on the G-league.
