He may just be talking about the heat wave going on lol.

Funny how everything is quiet on Celtics end.

Maybe there’s nothing to talk about...

If the spurs trade leonard for the garbage package to philly then spurs fans should want pop’s head on a platter. Think about it no Simmons. I can see why danny doesn’t wanna include brown.

[Darthlukey]

OK, another question. Assuming Brown and Tatum continues to play as well or better than they did this season, do you in the summer of 2020 want Hayward to opt into his $34.2 million player option for the 2020-2021 season or for the Celtics to give him an even bigger contract that year?

Hayward will turn 30 in March 2020. So in July 2020, he will have completed 10 seasons and probably will be eligible for a deal starting between $35-40 million. Maybe more if online gambling increases the cap much more than anticipated over the next two years.

By then Kyrie would be earning over $35 million if he's still on the team. Jaylen Brown would be an RFA that summer as well.

Do you give him a new deal, hope that he opts out of that $34.2 million salary and signs with someone else or he opts in for one last year?

I guess it would depend on whether this roster has won any titles by that time or how close they've been, whether Hayward has had big playoffs runs for the Celtics in the next two seasons.

But if Brown and Tatum are only improving in the next two seasons and playing bigger roles and minutes in the playoffs, it may be tough to pay Hayward that kind of money.

Lol. How ironic. A Warriors fan, worried about a team having too much talent.

Stop lying. You are Bob Myers, using a burner account, hoping that you can sway the Celtics into getting rid of their assets because you know we are coming. Coming for your title, and for Anthony Davis. **** off dude.

I really try not to be paranoid or assume bad faith. I know fans of other teams can have opinions that differ from ours without being trolls. And I don't want to be that guy who's jeering out every rival fan just because of their rooting interest and not the content of their posts.

But it gets really hard to give folks the benefit of the doubt when every single Raptors and Sixers and Warriors fan that has come in here in the last 48 hours is trying to convince us why we should give away our assets, or won't be able to retain them, or won't be able to get who we want, or will never be able to contend with them, etc. etc. etc.

It's remarkable how all these other fanbases know what's best for us, if only we'd listen.

I notice how the 3 teams you mentioned were all teams with a current or potential future rivalry.....no conflict of interest at all lol

Why we so worried about the sixers? Good team. But no reason to panic because we aren’t I t he news. We added major free agents. If kawahi works, it works. Bit not trading for a guy to keep him away from others. That is losers stuff.

These guys will share touches. It’s hard to accumulate points like that. I can see brown raising his points per game average but it won’t be drastic. Just wanna see the consistency from him.

I am getting that bad feeling about Philly that Truth18 often speaks about. I hope this don't happen. But from a basketball point of view only, Lebron to Philly just makes too much more sense then the trash kiddies in LA unless Savannah really does have Lebron by the balls (which I hope she does).

OMG I hope this is wrong. If they got Lebron/Leonard that is just terrible.

I am going to have to put mental spells on Philly starting right now to stop this.


Philly knows 100% their roster as is, does not get by Boston. Hell not a healthy Boston team or half a Boston team. We owned them last year including the regular season.


If it takes Jaylen, I'm sorry but I cough him up to get Leonard.

Even if Philly got Lebron and we got Kawhi I still give us the edge since Kawhi can slow down Lebron.

Or we hope Lebron slows down being he will be 34 at the end of December.

I am not worried about it but i won’t believe the spurs will send leonard to the sixers without Simmons coming back.

[Wes-J]

Man, season 4 just ended, I’m no longer motivated...

I've developed an addiction in collecting skins.

Folks who don't know what we're talking about are probably a bit freaked by that statement lol.

For me it's an unhealthy addiction to plundering and collecting skins on Uncharted.

It is nasty out though.

One thing people overrate is his defense. He doesn’t play defense like he once did

Lets hope so but he hasn't slowed down yet lol.

If this doesn't go our way, I consider it the curse of Paul George. If he had just taken his sorry ass to the Lakers like he hinted he would allllll last year and the reason the Pacers traded him. Well if he was in LA I think the Lebron to Lakers thing would be nearly more set in stone right now.

Instead stupid Lakers fans were hanging out yesterday practically on the streets thinking Lebron was a given to join them.

Yeah his D has gone down. Thats why many think he wants to pair up with Leonard.

Ya’ll too weak. We got a stud team. I fear no team. Let Philly load up. Who cares?

We do have a stud team. But if people think Philly IF (and a big if) got Lebron and Leonard both it don't make a difference thats just silly. It would certainly make a difference.

Yes it will. Who gives an F?

We are still good. We are doing what we want to do and have plenty of talent.

It would Definitely make a Difference.

We will Respect them, however; and Not make the same mistakes (Game 7).

I kinda do give a F, sorry. Philly as currently stands is our bitch.

If they added in the best player in the world and perhaps even another top 3 player (if he's healthy) yeah thats not good news for our championship aspirations lol.

If they got just one of them, thats different but still not great news.

And yes I have faith in the Celtics but I would rather sit back and have the east be ours 100%.

I really want Lebron OUT OF THE EAST.

[Wes-J]

Wondering if PGIII knew for some time LeBron wasn't going to LA and hence the decision to stay in OKC and not be the feature guy in LA.

Gotta believe that if Philly (and others) is willing to trade for Kawhi then his quad must not be an issue.

Covington plus saric and draft picks for Leonard? That would Ibe close to robbery for the sixers.
