Celtics history: Radja waived, O'Bryant signed, Mihm born

On July 16, several notable events occurred in Boston Celtics history. In 1997, the team waived Dino Radja, a Croatian big man who averaged 16.7 points and 8.4 rebounds during his four seasons with the Celtics. This move was part of a strategy aligned with new head coach Rick Pitino. Additionally, on this date in 2008, the Celtics signed Patrick O'Bryant, who played one season and contributed minimally. The day also marks the birthday of Chris Mihm, born in 1979, who played one season for Boston after joining the team in a trade from the Cleveland Cavaliers.
