So, to keep the band together, we just need Rozier, Nets, Charlotte and the team that signs Rozier to agree to it. And some posters thought it wouldn't happen. Pessimists...

I was one of those pessimists just 10 days ago lol. Now I'm desperate to get Al back. No big in the market can replace what he brings.


I was being sarcastic :P It's too complicated to ever come to fruition. SoYou'reSayingThereIsAChance.gif

Rozier at $12+M might not be enough.

$16.35M (Kyrie) + $6+M (Rozier) is short of the $26.08M needed to make the trade legal. Enter Yabu. And possibly a bit increase in TRo's starting.


Is’t kyrie’s number $20.8 or something (higher of prior year or half of new contract)?


Correct. $20.1 million, actually.

:roll:


Sign and trade irving and rozier for kemba to stay over the cap, then anything is possible with our FAs


To a first approximation, Rozier is irrelevant to that scenario. However, if Charlotte happens to want him, then that makes the whole thing easier.


IIRC Rozier has a third-rate agent. Let's hope he can give Terry good direction, rather than just go milking six meetings for the publicity.

Pretty sure Kyrie's number is the greater of his previous salary, or 50% of new salary, so his number is last year's salary (was it 20M?), so I think just Kyrie and Rozier works.

No one is going after anyone else. It's only you dude. You make everything about you and your opinions and then again 10 more times just about you. If there was a wall of shame that counted how many times people use "I" in their posts, you have that title won hands down. Maybe you should spend more time trying to get laid or finding a friend in real life and less time crying on here.

Unless you are just doing all this to be funny, then keep going because it's comic gold.

Butler to Heat. I wonder what Miami is giving up. Sixers may have taken a big hit.

@AlbertNahmad
Celtics, by retaining Terry Rozier’s $9.2M cap hold (along with its $4.3M qualifying offer), could potentially assist the Hornets in acquiring Rozier, if they’re targeting him, by executing a double S&T for Kemba Walker. With Hornets compensating Celtics for their trouble.

@AlbertNahmad
This, of course, is a potential two-team scenario.

@Albert Nahmad
Celtics retaining Terry Rozier’s $9.2M cap hold (along with his $4.3M qualifying offer) opens up a bunch of possibilities, even if they don’t intend to re-sign him.

Yep, that's my bad. Been using the wrong number all along.

People don't want to get Warnings, or get Banned.
So let's All work Together at getting along.

After signing Kemba, the C's have to find a way to get over the cap (an extension for Jaylen Brown, perhaps?) so they can use the MLE on a big man.


if we go under the cap to sign a free agent, I think we are locked into the room exception until a year from now. We have given up our right to the MLE.


So we can't make any trades that would put us over the cap for one year? I don't think that's right.


No, this is 100% right. If we use cap space to sign Walker, we don't get the MLE this year. no matter where our cap is.

If we do that crazy 3 team sign and trade with nets and hornets to act as a team over cap ,then we keep the MLE but would be hard capped at like 2m over the Tax. Meaning if we sign Horford to 28m a year, we probably can't use the full MLE anyway.

To you it looks like piling on. To others it's a well deserved critique.

To each their own but if it bothers you I suggest you block everyone because this **** been going on almost a decade.

WE could afford Al or Morris but not both unless they took discounts from what they want. We would be hard capped at just a few over the Tax line.

I didn't do anything wrong at all. I am within the rules. All i said is that celtics fans and red sox fans are different because one accepts mediocrity celtics and the other doesn't. For the celtics to keep improving the team. And i am going to be more of a casual fan. I don't attack any posters. Call anyone names. I don't attack any poster yet everyday i am being attacked, mocked, mimicked . Even by mods. Take a vacation for what. For derailing the thread which i am not doing. I am staying within the topic with the exception of comparing red sox to celtics fans, and they should improve the team. It is only my opinion, no one has to like or agree with them. And yes an opinion can be wrong because it is not grounded in facts. So yes my opinion can be wrong. Tell me why they are wrong and not verbally attack and threaten me.

I know how many times i have been attacked here. My words. What i type mocked. A poster even went as far as to create account impersonating me as my signature years ago. A personal post. For that only i should have left the forum for good. I know the posters that have mocked here even mods. For the most part i have ignored it, and blocked them ( some i even unblocked because i don't like blocking people. It is not because i can't fight back, i can go toe to toe word for word with anyone and not back down, but what is to be gained from it nothing and it is not who i am. Negativity and fighting drains you mentally. You know who gets attacked here on a daily basis it is me while those that attack me gets off free. I can name names but what is the most i will be accused of derailing the thread etc.Every day posters are fighting other posters verbally, even physically. I have never said this but certain mods do have it in for you. Notice only one is constantly attacking me, sometimes without me doing anything wrong. I have said nothing, but enough is enough. I have been here since November 2011, i have seen all topic discussed some so vulgar i wouldn't mention them yet they are allowed to do so. I dare criticize the team, give my opinion and here comes the attackers. It is unfair and not the right to police a forum. You discuss anything, discuss off topic issues, for the most part it is allowed but you dare

I am not afraid of a suspension. I try to avoid them and not seek from them but i am not afraid of one. I have been suspended a few times( for a short period, not even up to a day, because i am constantly been attacked by other posters, posters being condescending, and when i do defend myself, i get punished along side the attacks. I have endured a lot in this forum a lot. I am the only one that wonders why i am still here. Like Afam why you are still in a forum that disrespecrts you, where there is argument all the time, fights. Yes no one is perfect but people come to forums to escape whatever personal issues they are going through, why add onto it in a forum. Why i am still poster here. Do you know how many posters like me hesitate posting here. Do you know how many times i have posted there are more important things in life than sports, whatever happens happens, it is what it is and have had posters say that back to me. That is the definition of trolling because you are trying to illicit a reaction. To provoke.

I am a private and public person but more private. I decide to share the news that my dad passed away in 2015. I regret doing so.That is why I put in my location /signature rest in peace dad. Someone made a account called Afem. With a rest in peace Danny Ainge. A lot other posters were And 1ing/ liking the post. I will never do that to any of you. There are posters and moderators that have died, how would you feel if made a account similar to theirs, mocking them, liking posts disrespecting them, i probably be suspended or banned. However people think they care say whatever they want to me. I left the forum after what poster did.I shared what was nobody's business.I am not doing that again. It wasn't until a month ago that, that i typed my former username EEasyA, and Afem in the search menu here that i saw that some posters defended me and i think he ended by being suspended but not until other posters spoke up.


I remember putting a picture of me as an avatar and signature. I got mocked for it. It got used as photoshop. That is why i no longer use my picture here.

I respect moderators, they job is a thankless job, they don't even get paid for it, I even requested to become a moderator ,but i have been attacked by some of them that it is no longer worth it to be here. It is one thing to be attacked by posters but different if it is a by someone with authority. Even me requesting to be a mod wasn't meant with the nicest tone.

I am not perfect, i have made mistakes here, haven't all said the right things even when i don't anyone by name but i have apologized when i felt like i was wrong. I have been holding this in for a while but canman brought out in me. Not because you are a moderator doesn't give you the right to treat people however you want to. That is why posters wait until moderators retire to speak up they mind. I think it was my first day here and i didn't know the rules. I think i made multiple threads in one day. It lead to people attacking me, back and forth, i think it lead to my first warning or suspension. I know moderators can't leave you alone because they have to enforce the rules in the public message and private/direct message, but it has gotten to the point i want to be left alone. Whenever i see canman's name i think what did Afam do wrong, is he going to insult me etc. It is a sad way to think. It is no longer fun me being here, and i have told other moderators that.I used to think Realgm was a good forum, a good site, but i don't anymore. I came here because i wanted to discuss basketball with my fellow celtics fans but maybe i should re-consider that. Whatever i say. Do right or wrong i am going to be judged, attacked. That is why i no longer reply to anyone. Sometimes i even make one word posts etc to avoid being attacked but it never stops. I said all these to show much i have endured here. Personal attacks which should be enough reason for me to leave.I have been mocked, disrespected, humiliated etc. I have even been mocked for leaving, and coming back. I have a life outside this forum, to live. I don't have to put myself through this. I don't seek out suspension like other posters, nothing to be gained from it but if posting my opinion, and defending myself gets me one, so be it. I am taking a break from posting here anyways. It might be permanent or not. That is up to me.
Do you man and be good to yourself above all else.

They did take a hit. On 2 fronts: 1st they gonna have to max out Harris, who's definitely not better and 2nd Butler was their best or 2nd best player in the playoffs easily and they are likely to lose him.
Good assessment:
