Umm…let’s get back to that. Because if you remember the Celtics did get the number 1, traded Fultz etc…

Hornets and Blazers have played this game for a while too. Kings too. Wizards have been playing the tank game for over a decade.


The balls bounced Brooklyn's way not the C's way.

The balls will never drop in favor of Ainge


Whatever you want to tell yourself but the envelope had a C’s logo. Again that was also an outsourced tank. Do you happen to recall what it was like to be a C’s fan in the 90s to 2007? Every year hoping for ping pong balls.

Brad thinking low-info fans won't notice he's swapped Luke for Luka.

Garza played well in the G-League. Not the best defender, but that can be worked on. Move on from AL. Maybe Kornet accepts a friendly deal.
Neems/Kornet/Garza/Amari.

Got to move Tillman though. And don't pick up Walsh's option.

I guess one of these will end as the starter C.

Boucher is out there too.

Think meathead from Detroit or whatever his nickname is, beef stew, i even heard he shoots 3s


Worst idea I've seen so far. No way is a "marginal" center better than Hauser. Maybe would be equivalent for Niang, but I doubt it. Certainly not for both of them.

We (3rd) drafted a French (adjacent) guy!
He played (rarely) behind Gobert.

Keith Smith

Luka Garza will sign for the minimum with the Celtics.

Boston "replaces" Luke Kornet with Garza.

to be fair luka garza was a beast in college, maybe they plan on using him more like how he played in college because he shot a lot more 3s back then.

Garza has had some good moments, worth a shot as a backup to someone to see what he can do with some development at Celtics. If he doesn't work out, it won't matter this year.

It's gonna be a fun year and Joe Mazzulla is on the hot seat.

Stevens would get this roster in playoff contention, but I want Joe to be the tank commander that I know he can be.

Go get ben simmons at $5 million. Play him as a point 4.
