Maybe Stevens just wants a jacked Italian to take Gallos place when he trades him

I'm sure that was part of the conversation with Brad and Presti.

Brad and Presti both have good reps around the league as being honest and straightforward.

OKC is in the mix for a playoff spot and Muscala is a key player in their front court. He was one of their best players the other night when they just beat the lakers. I doubt they would have bought him out - he's been in OKC for a few years and it seems like he's a well liked guy by everyone in their org..
Nothing wrong with having a different opinion - as long as it's done respectfully. It'd be lame if we all agreed on everything :)

I don't know. I thought the Celtics would go after a big that can defend/protect the rim but I guess adding more shooting was always the goal.

I mean, someone who wouldn't mind DNPs but can produce when fielded in. Not bad.

I honestly don't know who this Mike guy is LOL. Is he even better than Kornet?

And Muscala was not that bad defensively that game either.


It's not a bad acquisition, Hal.
He played very well last season
and most likely Danny wanted
a First for Olynyk, so that was a no go.

Poetl would have been the best,
Bamba would have been horrible,
Muscala is in the middle of those
two.

I'd give it about a C+ to perhaps B-
nothing earth-shattering,
hopefully something more is occurring...

Ha why would you think that based on what they’ve done for years and years. Just teasing but really this is their kind of guy lol.

The Celtics with the Muscala addition definitely frees up Stevens to move Gallo, Pritchard plus for something else. Could be more coming.

Solid stats. I'm sure our front office was aware of these numbers.

Good move.

Muscala plays hard. Knows his role, fits that role.
