He is not wrong obviously, so ****. Having the MLE is valuable though, need some quality frontcourt depth.

In fairness, the emotional rollercoaster for RealGM Celtics fans aside, "all that" wasn't really that much. Sounds like we gave up a pick or something but otherwise it's not that different from just signing Kemba through free agency.


I mean even Bulpett even referred to it as "cap gymnastics", they did it with more than just the MLE in mind, IMO.

So, this now allows us to trade a low value pick and take on Capela?

Al his final contract lined up Celtics aren't paying him what he wants. On top I'm pretty sure his wife would punch him in the face if he could make 25+ more million dollars and didn't take it.

Kawhi still hasn't set up a meeting with the Lakers. I think Kawhi will be a Clipper.

I think maybe Durant.

He was going to come back for less and compete and then saw Durant come east and was like ehhh **** it I’ll just take the Kings money.

Well, the Rockets were shopping Capela to make room for Butler. If Butler is going to the Heat, then Capela may no longer be available. Also, I believe they were looking for high picks, and the Bucks' pick wouldn't have cut it I assume.

I love Al, but I just don't see the disappointment of some if he doesn't come back at the money he can make. Sure, I'd love him to come back and I don't care about the money as it's not mine. That being said, it's not the end of the world and I feel the Cs will manage.

Am waiting for free agency to start and then there might be some NBA transaction news.


Not long to go.
