I really hope we dont give him one.

I can all but promise we don’t.

I disagree. The team doesn't want to emphasize or extend any conflicts with star players (straightforward on-the-court competition obviously excepted).

Besides, it would be cool to shame Kyrie with kindness.

Oh I am so excited about Kemba !! It's more or less a lateral move from Kyrie which is HUGE for us. Kyrie is more talented but Kemba's durability and character bridges that talent gap ...

We've more or less kept Kyrie AND all of our assets ... well done DA !! He's not done !!!

I am not even worried about the lack of big men and front court options we have. I trust Ainge and co will get it all resolved!

Just the thought of having Kemba and finally having a team that is fun again is the best thing I could have hoped for.

Where did that one Hornets fan go that was trolling saying MJ wouldn't let Kemba leave? I miss him

Capela most likely.

If not, another big via S&T and maybe another as a low cost free agent.

Also I hope Tacko makes the team. He can help on most nights for about 8-15 minutes a game.

Would love him for vet min. Veteran leadership is what we need.

I'm telling you it's Cuban. He's the only one who is crazy enough.

I kind of agree but like don't you have to do something worthy of a tribute video? He was here for two years and he missed the playoffs the first year and caused all kinds of havoc the second. If he got a tribute video it would make all tribute videos mean less because there's no way in hell he deserves one.

Reports can change. Hopefully not in this case. No jinx. I will celebrate when it’s official tomorrow.

Walker isn't done until he signs the contract.

Dannys ability to pivot is pretty majestic. Lmao@all the GB takes the previous 2 weeks about nobody wanting to play for Danny, Boston not being a FA destination, Kemba wouldnt consider playing here, etc.

One league exec who’s dealt with the Celtics even went as far as to tell the Herald he knows for a fact the club would have been willing to trade Irving for Walker over the past two years. If he’s got it right, it would indicate the Celts knew there were issues with Irving’s approach to leadership and general ability to help cool the fires of young players whose image may have surpassed their actual abilities following the 2018 conference finals run.

Yeah, that's complete bull lol. No one's buying that. Trading Kyrie for Kemba straight up would have been an absurd move before we knew for a fact he was gone. This is like when every GM comes out after the draft and says they got the guy they wanted all along.

BOOM.

Here's the video of Woj making that statement.

The NBA is so weird and inconsistent with tampering rules. Maybe it’s not a big deal because he’s more or less been a free agent since the season ended but like.. how do you float mutual interest (Kemba and the Celtics) without tampering? So weird lol

Tampering is for those slimy GM's like Pat Riley and Rob Pelinka. Danny's a boy scout and would never ever resort to doing anything like that.

This is true, just ask Dallas.

Kemba is not enough. This signing would be to put fans in the seat, money/merchandise, keep the team somewhat. There has to be another move to follow. You can't waste all your cap space on one player.

Think of the Kemba signing like this.

Kemba = Ray Allen

Now you need a KG. How that gets done with limited cap space i don't know, and you would have to include Jayson Tatum in the deal.

3 max guys in 4 summers should squash that talk. It wont, but it still should.

Still think Al is coming back, but this would work too, lol:

Boston: Kemba, Favors
Charlotte: Rozier S&T @$12m
New Orleans: Horford, 2nd
Utah: Bucks pick
Phoenix: Baynes, Jerome

Money works, pretty sure

Agree. He can play for sure.

Starter (22 minutes)
Timelord (18 minutes)
Tacko (8 minutes)
