I like Luka Garza at the minimum a hell of a lot better than Luke Kornet at 10 million a year.

This is likely how they plan on using him

Those Garza-Walsh lineups will feed families.

Has a small upside. He is cheap.

35% behind the arc. Took 5 shots a game from 3. 70% ft shooter. 10 boards a game.

Give him and Neems minutes Joseph.

White / Pritchard / Davison
Simons / Gonzalez
Brown / Scheierman / Walsh
Hauser / Niang / (Tatum)
Queta / Garza / Tillman

The 2nd rounders and presumably Peterson on the two ways.

Above the tax but below 2nd apron team. Need to shed about $18M to duck the tax if they go that route. Can get there by by dumping Hauser and Niang but would take mid season maneuvering with pro rated players taking the spots of guys sent packing because filling out the spots take you over. Obviously can save money to duck the tax with a Simons trade instead of or in addition to Niang/Hauser depending on finals calcs.

True. But I hate that the CBA makes us think that way

And don't give me "those are g league stats", because Davison has been crowned the next coming of whomever and all he did was outplay his g league availability with the Celtics. If the G League had unlimited time with one team, JD would be in Portland and not the city on the west coast.

Peterson is an NBA player. I hope they do something with him other than a 2way. Trade Tillman to free up space for him.

How about Jah Okafor? Wiseman? Patrick O Bryant? TACKO TIME.

This is going to be a weird tank. I guess Simons either hits or gets dumped.

In the end, it's likely we'll be capped out and lose all flexibility until some youngsters hit. Unless the whole league is capped out and MLE becomes viable. Otherwise, we'd have been in better shape staying above the apron.

This is really disappointing unless we get some lottery luck

We built our team the right way—no reckless spending, no supermax free agents, just smart drafting, player development, and solid trades. Now, thanks to a CBA negotiated by CJ McCollum and the NBPA, we’re stuck under harsh restrictions like we’re one of the teams that went all-in with irresponsible spending. It’s one of the worst CBAs in recent memory.

Take your parity NBA and shove it.

JD hasn't been crowned the next coming by anyone, anyplace, or anytime.

My expectations were low but...damn...this has been the ugliest offseason in years.

Since the moment the Tatum injury occurred, everything surrounding the Celtics has been a disaster.

phincsfan · Post #1934 » by **phincsfan** » Tue Jul 1, 2025 12:34 am

I'd like to know who the majority owners like as far as big name free agents when that time comes? Chisolm seems like a guy who wants to be involved.

FROM SHAMS:

Fenerbahce's Nigel Hayes-Davis – the 2025 Euroleague champion and finals MVP as well as Turkish Cup champion and MVP – has agreed to a fully guaranteed one-year contract with the Phoenix Suns, sources tell ESPN. The two-time Euroleague first-teamer returns to the States and NBA.

Joe's choice at center: the giant douche or the turd sandwich lol

There were definitely some head scratching posts about him

Bobby Krivitsky‬

ESPN's Marc Spears on what he is hearing about Al Horford's free agency:

"He's taking his time. That there's three to four teams. I know there's been a lot of speculation about Golden State. But we'll wait to see if that three-point shot gets to Chase."

Would be nice symmetry if it happened when Al left as he was drafted with the pick we sent OKC in the Kemba/Al trade.

Repeat - I don't want. Just happened to think of it.

Kind of crazy loading up their front court like that.

Yeah. Weird run on centers. Austin is gonna try to auction Nurk to us soon...

Houston’s def got a move coming.

Sengun, Adams, Capela, Durant, Finney-Smith, Jabari Smith, and Eason is a crazy amount of 4-5 guys.

They are recycling names at this point.
