I could be wrong, but I believe this means Brad Stevens will remain as coach of the Boston Celtics.

Down to 3 Preseasons. I'm not happy with this.
I like the Backups and Rookies to get some burn; plus G-League bound players.

I might be the only one here who would love to see Tacko start and play with the starters in preseason and play around 30 min.. I actually think he would shock the hell out of everyone with his play. With blocking shots and rolling to the rim, no defender could leave him. Lanes would be so wide open.

I am not joking.. don't agree.. SUE ME!

It's like we will never know unless we try and give a good look, and I believe he locks up Embiid !! 8-)

With the virus surging more than ever, what is the latest regarding in-arena home games & fans?
I heard a tentative starting date of Tues 12/22 & a 72 game season.

I mean... since you're not allowed to be out after 10pm as of now and the season for the virus is just getting started.

I'm guessing we'll have empty or "if you're stupid come join limited availability" seating for this season until a vaccine is found and mass produced and made affordable for the masses.

I think the general thinking is a high chance that a vaccine is out to a sizable population in the first quarter of 2021. I mean who knows, anyone's guess yadda yadda yadda. I live in china and it is basically back to normal here. Has been for a while. Only recently do you finally feel ok not wearing a mask in a taxi. I guess that doesn't matter but if their is a vaccine and a sizable percent of people get it, they can go to games. I'm wondering if the talk of starting the season in a bubble is still a go. I haven't heard anything.

No bubble for the season.

And I can see the virus being great in China currently, but the USA is the shithole of the world when it comes to the virus. And the way it's ramping up in Western Europe... well it's ramping up in the USA too we're just a month behind.

That said, now that there's an official start time, do people know when Hayward's opt in date is? I hope it's before the draft so maybe we can get some value trading him instead of having him walk for free next year!

I don't know for sure but this sounds like what someone says when they know they won't be asked to come back. You gotta act like it was your choice even though it may not have been. Either way, I wish him luck and success!

Other rumor of note. Kevin O'Connor says multiple sources have told him we're looking to package all our picks to move up in the lottery, then swing that pick to the Pels for Jrue Holiday. FWIW
