Absolute agent of chaos.

What is Weaver even doing up there? They're all over the place.

Don't be the worst team in the history of the NBA is a pretty solid org guidepost.

I am expecting Brad Stevens to do something like this. Celtics could do a trade like this after a Pritchard trade for a wing making more than the $6.2 TPE or Pritchard could stay and Celtics use the TPE for a wing.

I'm expecting the Celtics to acquire one or two players today depending on who they send out.


We shall see. Brad, I'm sure is being careful about not rocking the boat too much. You saw Tatum's comments about Lamar yesterday. This is a really close group with awesome chemistry.


Out of the possible guys moving in that deal, Lamar was the one I'd have preferred to keep, but then maybe it would have fallen through.

If the team loves Lamar, they'll probably love Xavier, too, and get over it once they get a chance to see him in action.

But for any final move, yeah, careful of chemistry. Using the TPE for one more backup wing can shoot a bit and play defense. With what's already happened, I'd give Naji Marshall the inside track if I was betting on one more last minute move.

Jalen Brunson
Donte DiVincenzo
Bojan Bogdanović
OG Anunoby
Julius Randle
Mitchell Robinson
Josh Hart
Alec Burks
Precious Achiuwa
Isaiah Hartenstein

That is a good core top 5 on East.

No, just "makes sense" ... to me! :lol:

But with SGA, Chet, Hayward and the gang, that XXXL jersey of Drummond fills a size need. They got bigger with Hayward and now could use a big C for the playoff run.

Wondering the same thing. Can't find anything that links him to OKC but things seem to be quite fluid atm.

I am sweating here. Give me Caruso!! I want 3 defensive studs with switchable size at my guard positions.

as it stands Now, Boston has enough talent to win 18, BUT not by much (LAC + Denver + other?) Caruso would help so much against those teams.

I didn't think Mitch was going to be back soon. That's good news for them if so, and they are set.
