Don't think we'll go for him, even more so when supposedly we're trying to rebuild our culture with high character guys.

How does Miami have room? How do the Celtics have room? How do all these teams have room? :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Probably gets his intel from Doc directly, or someone who Doc confides in from back in the Celtics title days

He’s said I’m 7ft 6 and grabbbbbb 6 freaking boards a game in colllegggggeeee but my per 36s are amazing


Would take him over Yabu based solely on the fact that hes 7’7 with an 8’2 wingspan and 10’3 standing reach. Hope we give him a 2 way at a minimum


I’ve been on vacation 10 days pounding drinks and eating like a slob and I’d take myself over Yabu right now

Do we have any more cap space after Kanter signing? Where are we pulling money for Cousins from?

So what is the goal now fellas ? We will be fun to watch I’m sure. I think this time around this group of guys will really end up liking playing with each other and hopefully both Brown and Tatum become all stars. BUT you need real stars to win. Those stars are all gone. That window has shut.

The only thing is what, continue to see how Tatum and Brown develop and hopefully in a year or two they can have similar impact to what Curry/Klay became. I think we are many years away from contending and it just sucks we don’t have at least top 5-10 talent.

Darn you people, you're making me want to believe! Tacko madness!!!!!!!!!!!!


Believe because Tacko is real. Shut down Duke. Only reason Duke won was because Tacko fouled out.

Quite literally the only Duke game I watched this year (not a big college guy) cuz my neice goes to UCF. She's no help though, not a basketnerd. Just knew he was tall... :)

I'm pretty skeptical, but seems like a good kid. And I can envision some scenarios where you can go zone for 5-10 minutes and see what happens. For a two-way, why the heck not? If he earns a real roster spot, then he must have done something right in camp\SL.

Denver, Utah, Portland, Golden State, Houston, Lakers (with or without Kawhi) all will be really tough next year. Then you've got OKC and young teams in New Orleans, Sacramento and Dallas that could make things interesting. Going to be wild in the West.

East is more straightforward -- Milwaukee and Philly top 2, Toronto with Kawhi would be up there as well but looking less likely. Then a drop off to Boston, Indiana, Brooklyn and then another to Atlanta and Miami. Lots of scrub teams in the East too though -- Washington, Knicks, Charlotte, Detroit, Orlando, Chicago, Cleveland.

Last time boogie played here he said someone allegedly yelled horribly offensive racial names at him can’t see him wanting to be back if that happened not to mention I’m sure south beach lifestyle for him would be appealing.

Clippers in the west as well. Even sans Kawhi they can make some noise if they stay healthy.

Yeah, guess my point is even if the Lakers get Kawhi as it seems they will, things are still pretty open IMO.

For the vet min sure. Embiid vs cousins would be fun from a trash talking standpoint.

Sourced? That would mean no final meeting for raptors? He met with lakers and clippers and supposedly giving Toronto last word

The way the Celtics roster is right now I think they still need a vet C and a vet PF if they plan on making any noise

Open? Golden state will take a step back. Nobody is beating the lakers next year out in the west. Let’s see how they fill out the roster but i don’t see anyone beating them.
