If Teague starts over Smart, better hide all the picture frames in Brad’s office.

Fencer reregistered wrote:I continue to predict that pairing RobWill and Nesmith will make a lot of sense, assuming Nesmith's shot transitions fairly smoothly to the pros. If it does, Nesmith will be an excellent move-catch-shooter. Rob is an excellent move-catch-dunker, and a good passer as well.

And if you tend to play them with Kemba -- well, you have two guys who may be apt to need an eraser at center, plus a guy who's greatest defensive strength can be erasing.


An unlikely young lineup, but I’d like to see what Rob, Grant, Jayson, Aaron and Payton could do out there for a spell.

Thanks Brad for answering my ad,
"Boston Celtics Barbershop, cutters wanted."
But after KP, your C play? You broke my heart Fredo.

..is anything actually happening yet? Normally we’re watching “first moments of practice” video clips and reading about team bonding. I know it’s the middle of a pandemic but preseason is in a week, right?

Today's media availability is on in an hour and a half. But yeah, team practices don't start until tomorrow, Sunday.

Don't be surprised if he get a lot of minutes
Brad recruited Teague hard out of High School and has lobbied Danny to acquire him

Nesmiths' frame looks a bit stronger than I expected from what was shown in that short clip. Maybe he was spending the time off shooting and lifting.

That's all great news, it means Brad is confident that Teague can work well in the system, BUT, if he's a vet minimum guy bumping our longest-tenured, heart-and-soul, first-team-defensive guy to the bench, it's going have a ripple effect, no doubt.

I don't think so. I think that Smart is comfortable coming off the Bench, or Starting.
He knows that he'll get Starter minutes, either way.

Naw. Smart knows that he'll get his minutes, as well as finish games.
Other players, I would worry about getting moved. But, not Smart. Baynes was like that, too.

That's a quote from three years ago. Lots have changed since then. I personally think Smart wants an elevated role esp with Hayward gone now. He wouldn't be too thrilled if a rookie or sophomore starts ahead of him. Or a vet on the decline.

We'll see. I don't think he cares, though.
Either way, he's better being our Super 6th-Man. Smart should only Start, when someone is injured.
