- Al is supposedly interested in the Knicks, probably more likely with Thibs gone...

- 3 years is what it might take for the Celtics to be Championship competitive again, gives their High 2026 First
a chance to be an impactful player in Season 3.

- If they deal Brown/Porzingis/Holiday/Hauser, the machinations and fallout are likely to take a couple years to shake out...

Yes! We have entered random twitter account news sourcing season!

I'm pretty sure Per Sources is just a random Celtics fan who trolls, starts fake rumors and hates on Jaylen and Mazzulla..
Nothing wrong with having a different opinion - as long as it's done respectfully. It'd be lame if we all agreed on everything :)

I don't think this is the direction we're going but targeting a contender in 3 years would mean anything is on the table this offseason. Including all the crazy ideas about dealing for a top-5 pick this month.

I don't buy it.

JT, JB, White, and you add Giannis?

That's too many mouths to feed.

And Celtics will be a 2nd apron team until 2028.

Cs would have to give up White or JB if it's Giannis.

That is 2nd apron but youd have to think with that possibility the management would gladly stay 2nd apron

Giannis alone should bring in more revenue and it should be multiple finals tripd with that group, dynasty right there

Hard to see it happen but we have seen wilder things go down

AD is still a hell of a player

I wonder what true values jrue + porzingis get us from other teams which could be routed to milwaukee , add in some pieces (Pritchard) and a boatload of first round picks and i guess its a possibility , i think white would likely be sacrificed as well in this scenario to get more assets, key is what is zinger and jrue getting brad to use as trade chips

It's a pipe dream.

Giannis would cost the Cs JB or White and a lot of picks.

The Jays plus Giannis and White is not happening.

You understand we all know the tweet is made up nonsense right? There's no need to take this seriously.

He's averaged 19 and 8... And he's an expiring to save money. It's no like we'll keep him around for a decade.
Good assessment:

Jrue to the pistons

Simone, Kristaps, Tillman to the Suns

Durant to Boston


White/Pritchard
Scheierman/
Brown/Hauser
Durant/Horford
Kornet/Queta

picks to round out roster. Ideally extend KD for 2 seasons so that he can play with Brown/Tatum/White and a center in 2026 and 2027 while competing for titles.

Return to Boston Celtics
