I understand the buddy ball side of this signing, but that's money that could have went elsewhere since they have the kid Allen to start over there already. Now the dude will be benched..

Maybe Allen comes back to us in s&t :D

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.


You, literally, have no ******* idea. Remember when this past years C’s team was guaranteed to play the GSW in the finals?

I don't really like how Kawhi determines if the league is pretty wide open or incredibly predictable for seasons to come..

Not exactly. Still got Boogie, Looney, Lopez, Capela on the block. Only so much more money to go around. The Celtics can offer a chance to start on a marketable playoff team.

Only 1 on that list is capella and he requires a trade to change the needle the rest on your list is atrocious and wouldn't move the needle. Better hope that vince foreign guy is a beast because we be weak at Pf and center against the entire east. Losing horford, and baynes and morris really dropped us in the standings. Especially since we decided not to address the issue in draft or summer league squad.

Sick of seeing top players like KD take discounts while other teams are basically forced to spend stupid amounts of money on low-tier all-stars like Tobias Harris and Kris Middleton.

And yes, my position would be reversed if the Celtics were receiving a discount lol

I don't think we can get Favors with just the room exception. Unfortunately.

give me a break. Today was great for Boston. Philly and Milwaukee both got worse with potentially the Raptors getting worse as well. The talent spread more today then I could have possibly imagined. Sign a defensive big and we are gold

He really doesn't. It's more on the idiots who are running the teams who determine it. Thankfully the Celtics have Ainge.

To early to tell, but I’m with you, not a bad day for the Celtics.

I think Fall has a better chance of playing in NBA games next year than Bol Bol. He just doesn't do anything special besides being huge but he can play. He can dunk, rebound, block shots commit a ton of fouls. He is 7'6" and 300lb and is reasonably coordinated.

This is what happens when players run the league. They are idiots when it comes to roster building.
"I think the criticism's stupid," Stevens said. "So I don't care. I'm with Jaylen (Brown) on that. Those two had achieved more than most 25 and 26 year olds ever had. I'd rather be in the mix and have my guts ripped out than suck."
