​Per Keith Smith: "Celtics should be in range to use the $5M Taxpayer MLE after they trade Marcus Sasser to the Pistons and drop out of the #25 pick."

[theman]

So Brad thinks he can sign an all-star with $5 million MLE?

[max powers]

I like GG Jackson at 31, swing for the fences if he flops no big deal

Celtics need depth

We entered tonight with 11 players signed and $7.3M of room below the 2nd apron. We get hard capped there if we use the $5M MLE. We would not have been able to do that and fill out the roster with vet mins if we stayed at #25 and paid that rookie scale deal. By paying #31 and a rookie minimum deal instead, we clear a good amount of the space needed for that.

It’s literally pinching pennies but it’s a hard cap. You can either use the MLE or you get nothing. Every dollar counts here.

Well just wait till the Wizards buy out CP3 and... oh wait *proceeds to cry in shattered dreams*

[bigfoot_cryptozoology]

The Mad Hungarian is out there as well as Tristan and probably Isolde...

2nd round picks are the new top 3 picks. Believe me.

GG Jackson should be the pick at 31.

And as Simmons seemed to indicate, they plan on using the TMLE...
