So the Kyrie S&T may still be in play.

But.....now that Horford’s gone, it seems like a waste.


1. Some people think we can use the full MLE in this scenario (I haven't checked the numbers, but that makes sense).
2. If we bribe Philly into a S&T as well, we definitely can trade anywhere up to the hard cap.

I'm starting to warm up to Kanter or Cousins tbh. A post scoring big man with a 4 out shooting line up might be cool.

Can't see anybody worth a damn on the defensive end tbh.

Cousins is by far the best center on the market if he's back in better shape and healthy. Can't see Ainge bringing on a personality like his though.

At 9 mil a year it would def be worth the risk!!

I don’t want it. But I feel he is very active and would have signed right away or set up meetings. I think Ainge promised him but can’t release it until they get the money.


Been widely rumored, no?

I just hope it isn't for 4 years.

Might prefer Looney.

Keeping Baynes is surely still a possibility.

So basically we're gonna assemble our frontcourt rotation based on whatever scraps everyone else has left for us.

Great.

If we already have the full MLE and BAE per Rozier-Kemba, maybe we are the ones getting a pick out of it lol.

We won't be a good team if Kanter is our starting center. He's a decent player, but not what we need. We need a defensive big.

I don't see why Kyrie wouldn't insist that Brooklyn S&T with us instead, at least if we're willing w/o being bribed.

Yup.

The only bigs I’ve truly heard rumored were Kanter and Looney.

Then Kanter was supposed to meet with us and the Lakers shortly after 6:00 pm. Via call I think.

Now nothing. Big men flying off the shelf. I think it’s got to be him.

Or...

Celtics sign cousins to the MLE. That would be hilarious and make this board shut down.

That's been the plan since the Kemba max news broke.
