Interesting choice by Boston. The price was very affordable. Not bad.

That seems cheap.

May indicate they are spending a 1st on a wing.

Celtics (and Jazz with Ainge) are the best FO in the league.

Always been a fan of Tillman and wanted him in the draft (over Udoka Azubuike, one of the few times I got something right :lol: )

Nice move for Boston.

Going to be upset if GS doesn’t manage to get a big man upgrade somehow

Man, that cheap? Dunno why other teams with FC needs didnt give that up (cough *Dallas* cough). Love this for Boston, Tillman is legit good defensive big and great depth piece.

This makes sense, thought Boston was a logical landing spot for awhile now. Nice that it is 2nds are further out. Opens a roster spot to give GG Jackson a contract. Not a homerun for Memphis but what was expected value wise. Tillman is a guy that can hold his on and give positive impact minutes even in the playoffs, even if Boston doesn't resign him I like this as a rental at this cost.

Boston B+
Memphis B

Like it a lot for Boston -- good depth piece for a couple of seconds

I only had eyes for Bane with that draft pick. :wink:

Celtics did well here.

Solid all around. Boston gets some depth and Memphis gets assets for a rental.

That Dallas 2030 2nd is an interesting trade piece going forward.

He is an unrestricted free agent this summer.
In contrast the guy Detroit got is a restricted free agent.

The team control is important.

I didn't have Tillman worth more than this. A good get for Boston and more value for Memphis in a lost season. Seems win/win and reasonable value.
