All the pending moves and cap implications are too complicated for me to figure what we can do. That said, with OKC looking to be in rebuild mode, I'd love to find a way to get Adams. Trade Hayward to create space and then picks to OKC for Adams to help them get under the cap?

Think I’d rather have Hayward. His upside is a lot higher. OKC might be giving up the picks to dump Adams.

I can see where you're coming from. However, I think have defined rolls and expectations will help Tatum and Brown develop. I'd rather buy in on Brown, at his assumed price tag, than Hayward who can opt out next year.

Lil B just blessed Jaylen Brown again. This blessing, along with the departure of fake illuminati to Brooklyn, means that the Boston Celtics are gonna be good this season. Rejoice!!!

I have mentioned trading Brown many times ONLY because I don't think Boston will sign him to a 20+ mill contract next season and will lose him for nothing. I have ALWAYS wanted our home grown boys Brown, Tatum, Smart and R. Williams to retire Celtics if we can keep them. I really expect Brown and Tatum to make another leap this upcoming year. But I don't see Danny paying Haywood and Kimba 30+ mil Brown 20+ mil and then Tatum 20+ mill at the same time.

Just a few days ago Bulpett reported that the Celtics were still looking to make another move. Do we know if this is still true (now that the final dominoes have fallen)?

It has come to the point where Utah is overrated now. Happened in two days. Must be a NBA record of some sorts.

Whats the deal with Oubre?? Young and talented. Is he looking for too much money?

I think if the Celtics could get a Love, Gordon, Griffin, Horford type player it would put the Celtics right back in the conversation for Tops in the East.

Going to be interesting to see if Ainge can get something done.

Oubre looks to be in good shape

Gone are the days that a player, players retires with one team. It is about player empowerment . 1-3 years contracts should be on the way. After 3 years you can either re-sign with the team, or leave. It goes both ways.

Could be something new or that could have been the signing of Vinnie P and the contracts for Theis and Wanamaker.

He made them no promises. Lived up to his contract and played his ass off.

Maybe him and Josh Jackson can dress as clowns and hit up Children's birthday parties in China on their off days.

They still haven't completed Baynes trade so something is being explored. Not that anything will come off it.

They won a title...we would kill for that result after last season.
