Taking a massive discount to ring-chase is basically a myth and never happens.

Barkley did it in 98 when he signed with Houston for just 1m.

1 m was a pretty big deal back then. Barkley was coming off a contract paying him like 3 mil a year.

DDR going to LAC to keep them from cratering is good enough of a consolation prize, he is officially let go of his obligation to come to Boston for the minimum possible salary.

Kelly Iko: Free agent center Daniel Theis has drawn interest from a handful of teams including the Grizzlies, Pelicans and Bucks, sources tell @TheAthletic.

No mention of the Celtics.

That's fine.

Tillman is still our guy. No Tillman news is good news.

The Veteran Ring Chaser market has been a bust for the Celtics so far - Grade F for failing...

Most the veterans are getting more than the vet min.

That's true. So, where have all the Ring Chasers gone, other than to other Contenders?

Who did you want who's signed for the minimum on another team?

Right!!!
I don’t think there has been a vet min signing of a guy I wanted….other than Kornet.

Lebron, would have been a good backup PF

brackdan70 · Post #114 » by **brackdan70** » Tue Jul 2, 2024 1:36 pm

I guess I am on record of expressing interest in Mo Bamba, but other than that? I still have hope for Tillman.

The minimum signings so far: Garza, Bamba, Kornet, Bol, Wright, Plumlee, Gordon, Temple, DAJ, Len.

I've always liked Wright, but no minutes/role on Cs with PP here. Makes sense that he signed with the Bucks who have no backup PG better than him. I like Plumlee too but only if we didn't re-sign Kornet, who I'd rather have for continuity/chemistry sake. He likely saw Suns as a team that can give him regular minutes and clear role.

Cs top 8 or 9 is set. So vets looking for a bigger role won't find it in Boston.

I had interest in Bamba if the Celtics didn't resign Kornet and Queta. Porzingis, Horford, Kornet, Queta is more than enough at center (it won the Celtics a championship).

Celtics need a PF/small ball center which Tillman fits perfectly in my opinion.

I was hoping that Plumlee might take a discount, since he can rebound, score inside and pass.
I thought there might be some hope for Theis.
Intrigued by Vucevic, whom I liked for the draft last year.

So what's the backup plan if No Tillman?? We are running out of options..
