Can Danny?

Ruben Patterson said this is the longest he has waited before knowing what jersey he will wear when camp begins in October.

Patterson acknowledges he's getting a little nervous.

"You could say that. I know it's the middle of August," Patterson said last week during a telephone interview from Cincinnati. "You got a lot of guys who haven't signed."

Patterson said he would prefer to sign with Boston or Miami.

Patterson is a registered sex offender but that doesn't mean he wouldn't be a great sixth man.  I think the C's need to set aside the Code of Conduct and see if they can't reel in The Kobe Stopper.  His defense would be key and he's good enough that his presence would help Doc Rivers from having to play Ray Allen and Paul Pierce 40 minutes a game.  Perhaps he could also fill in at the 4 if we go small (again, saving Pierce from getting beat up down low). And hey, it was only attempted rape, right?

Listen, we've traded our entire bench to become contenders, why not go all the way and sell our souls for a title?
