Babb was waived by the Warriors on Friday, Marc J. Spears of Yahoo reports.
EDGE Analysis
Babb came to Golden State in the David Lee trade earlier this offseason, but was never really expected to be a contributor in the upcoming season. He's failed to play in a regular season game since the 2013-14 season, so it looks like that may remain the case for the foreseeable future. If he can't find another team to pick him up before the regular season begins on Wednesday, Babb will likely either head overseas or join an NBA D-League roster for the time being.

Like last year, Babb again signed a late season contract with the Celtics. But unlike last season, he never received any playing time.
In the 2013/14 season, Babb played in 14 games for the Celtics averaging only 9 minutes of play per game. This year, he never saw the floor and was inactive during the playoffs. At 25 years of age, his window of opportunity is probably closing.

Babb signed a multi-year contract with the Celtics on Monday, the Celtics' official sited reports.
Babb has spent the entire season with Maine of the NBA's D-League, averaging 15.4 points (on 43 percent shooting)5.5 rebounds, 2.7 assists, 2.6 three-pointers, and 0.9 steals in 35 minutes across 45 games. Upon joining the Celtics, the 6-foot-5, 225-pound guard will supply depth on the wing.

The Celtics have signed Chris Babb to a multi-year deal.
Babb's second 10-day contract ended on Thursday, so this is great news for the 24-year-old out of Penn State. This isn't, however, major fantasy news as Babb will mostly serve as bench fodder for the C's as long as Avery Bradley stays healthy. Babb hasn't seen any game action since March 12 and will be hard-pressed to provide any fantasy value with the limited minutes he's seen since joining the team.

Chris Babb is hoping to be signed for the rest of the season by the Celtics.
Babb's second 10-day contract expires on Thursday and since players cannot sign a third 10-day contract, Babb is hoping that the Celtics will sign him to a rest-of-season contract. "I've put it all out there," Babb said. "I'd be happy [to be signed for the remainder of the season]. I'd have that same feeling of accomplishment, but at the same time I'd still have to be motivated." Babb is only averaging 2.2 points per game during his time with the Celtics and he hasn't played since March 12, so he faces long odds to stick around now that Avery Bradley is healthy. Even if the Celtics do sign Babb for the rest of the season, he won't provide any fantasy value as a bench player for Boston.

The Celtics have signed Chris Babb to a second 10-day contract.
"He's a perfect fit for what we need," said Brad Stevens. "He's not going to play 38 minutes a game, he's going to come in, get open shots, hopefully knock those open shots down, play off other people, and be a feisty defender for us." That about sums up his role in Boston, and his 3.3 points per game aren't going to help any fantasy owners.

Celtics signed G/F Chris Babb to a 10-day contract.
Babb is a defensive stopper and 3-point specialist. He'll struggle for minutes behind the likes of Chris Johnson and Gerald Wallace on the Celtics' bench.

The Celtics plan to sign Chris Babb of the D-League on Friday.
He's not exactly having a strong year in the D-League, shooting 37.9 percent from the field for 11.9 points per game in his 32 outings. Babb can be ignored in fantasy leagues.
