He did the right thing for himself. We will miss him dearly. He really developed himself into a solid rotation big in the last 2 years.

Congrats on the contract Luke, thanks for contributing to Banner 18!
This is hardly even fair, the rest of the league is playing checkers and Danny Ainge is playing 12-dimensional chess.

Love Luke’s game. One of the most unfairly-maligned Celtics I’ve ever seen. Those people should be ashamed. This is a definite blow to our team. The Spurs are getting a very good player and I fully expect him to do very good things there.

If only Brad had given Luke a 4yr deal and let Holiday play out this year.

They wanted Jrue to decline his player option because it was a big amount.
In return, they gave Jrue that extension.
Cs saved money.

Saved $7M this past year, but took on well over $100M in new obligations. They should have paid the extra $7M--and Luke.

It was more than 7m because of tax penalty.

I'm happy for Luke, he's getting a good contract and playing for a good organization. I hope he has a great season other than when he faces us.

I mean, he can probably even have a great season against us next year and people wouldn’t mind too much. That **** ends in 26-27 though.

How did Kornet get a better contract than Clint Capela and Deandre Ayton?
Congrats to him and his agent!

Now we're back to not really having a true proven center... great.

Love Luke, but he's not a starting NBA Center.
So I'm really not upset the Cs lost Luke for 10m per year.
Al is more important than Luke IMO.
