I didn’t realize the season started tomorrow.

Doesn't matter what the Celtics do. They aren't as good as the Bucks or Philly and if Kawhi stays with the Raptors they are behind them too unless you are confident that Tatum and Brown will take massive leaps and Hayward will be 85% of himself.

Which I am

Losing Reddick really hurts them.

They still have some change left in cap space. Idk if they have the full MLE, but they should be able to sign a few really decent players to come off that bench. Not to mention they will probably be like a top 3 destination in the buyout market. The kid Thybulle is a really good defender also.

People hate too much. Philly did well. We would all be pretty damn excited to have Horford and Embiid together.

He has to sometime soon. These are the expectations you have for your high lottery player. He and brown could be the wild cards for the Celtics season to make this really intriguing if both break out this upcoming season like we have seen with other young stars.

Not Gunna lie, aing eprob saw Celtics Twitter freak over his (yet again) failure to acquire a big, so gave some phony a 10 day contract.

Nice job by Ainge getting Kemba after the Celtics #1 target Ricky Rubio signed with the Suns for 3 years and $51 million. Nice save!

This

100% agree. Question is do both even close games? Our 5 best players can't be on the floor together.

I wonder how many player's agents who were high on the Knicks free agent list said no, before they had to call Taj Gibson? :falloff:

I feel the same way. I'd still take him back at 4/90 but 109 is crazy for his age. He totally doesn't fit with a team with no PGs on the roster and best player a center.

Being reported as 4/97 with potential for 12m in bonuses (tied to ships)

The deal was actually 4/97, he will get more if they win a championship.

Speaking of Taj, that would have been a good get for us.

But how in the world so we put together a front court to handle Giannis and now Embiid & Horford

Favors is the answer to all our problems

Hmm.. I can’t say I know too much about Favors. How’s he on defense? On the boards? Is he mobile? Can be catch lobs?? I need answers !!

He's a very good defender, good rim protecter, and a better rebounder than his numbers might suggest (essentially cause Gobert was on his team). And he can score, even if not the shooter Al is.

What is Cousins commanding? Do we have enough? I think he’s a little cuckoo but nothing like Kyrie.
