He’s talking about Jalen Brunson lol.

I’m aware...

213 pages and there has literally been zero Celtics moves to show for it.

We need 225 pages for something to happen.

On it.

Nice get for Minny

****.

Ok just caught up with all this news.

I wanted Ingles - **** you Bucks.
I wanted SloMo - **** you Wolves.
I wanted Batum but can hardly say **** you Clippers when he simply stayed there.

I don't want us to go for KD unless he has explicitly told us he would be happy to come here. Unhappy he could be a very expensive malcontent.

We were on a leaked list of 5 teams that someone posted somewhere on twitter. So, you know, that's pretty much 100% that he'd be a clam in Boston.

Yes, I saw that highly reliable list.

I could believe he would be happy to play with JT however, but I really wouldn't want to have to recruit or convince KD to come here. Our chemistry is excellent and that matters as we have seen with the recent super teams. I can live with giving up JB (provided we don't give up any of our other top 7) and a haul of picks if KD is happy to come here and doesn't need to be convinced.

Otherwise I'd rather we keep our core 7 and add to the bench.

You can bet whoever the Celtics get Brad and Ime will say he was their target all along. Brad learned a lot from Danny Ainge.

Anna Horford has been unusually quiet. Al could be on the move.

eh. it was a long NBA season. she just got married, has tons of money. probably taking some time to relax, go on a vacation

[BRUNiNHO91]

Has Kemba signed anywhere? I bet he goes to the Lakers.

Agreed, I don't mind a little recruiting, but definitely don't want him if he's not fully on board after.

It’s tough when your a finals team to add someone on day one. At least we haven’t lost anybody…the only team that’s much better is Atlanta while Nets are about to get worse.

This is nothing compared to offseasons past. 5 threads of KD, another 6 for Horford. We also had that Westbrook-Griffin fiasco.

Clearly a joke.

She's tweeting about more important stuff.

I think that's fair. Personally I'd pass even if it required a little given his fragile state of mind with things.

But it's probably moot in any case, I don't think he'll be coming here.

The Brooklyn Nets can have all our picks and any player not named Jaylen Brown or Jayson Tatum for a malcontent, 34-year-old Kevin Durant.

I'm not trading a 25-year-old stud who was undoubtably our best player in the NBA Finals.

Tatum is 24

[zoyathedestroya]

Three hours and nothing.

Huge difference in resting the jays too. Not just guys to fill the slots, but guys who can make an impact. Guys who Ime will play and won't be worried they can't help hold a 20pt lead.

Not sure how much Gallo is going to help that. I think that would be more the perimeter/wing player I mentioned. I envision the PF/C rotation as one group and the PG/SG/SF as the other.

What I'd like for PF/C in the playoffs:

PF: Horford (8 minutes), Grant (20 minutes), Tatum (5 minutes), Gallo or other offensive forward signing/trade (15 minutes)
C: Rob (28 minutes), Horford (20 minutes)

Then what I'd like for PG/SG/SF:

PG: Smart (33 minutes), White (15 minutes)
SG: Brown (21 minutes), White (6 minutes), free agent or trade wing acquisition (21 minutes)
SF: Tatum (32 minutes), Brown (16 minutes)

Adding a guy like Gallo is more about reducing Horford's workload and getting some more front court spacing. It's the perimeter guy that will really help with Tatum/Brown.

Good post. I look at it as this --> we need to add 3 rotation players that can contribute in the Finals. A big, a swing player, and a point. I have faith in DWhite. But Grant Pritch and Theis all need to be jumped over in the depth chart. Plus we need an additional big to reduce minutes to Horf and RWill in the regular season. We need a lot more than what I've been reading if we're going to win it all.

I don't think Grant needs to be "jumped" in the depth chart. But he probably should me more at 20 minutes/game instead of the 28 he played in the playoffs this year. And then Horford should have his minutes cut by 8-10 from the 35 per game he played these playoffs. So that right there carves out your Gallo or other stretch 4 minutes.

A better big than Theis would be nice but he's more than ok enough to fill that regular season slot. It just leaves us dependent on health for Rob/Al, but there's always a limit to how much resources you can allocate to someone who you don't want in your playoff rotation other than injury.

I’ll be on here to get my news instead of twitter to avoid Stranger Things spoilers, so keep up the good work on posting these NBA updates guys

[Curmudgeon]

Well, I wouldn't have targeted any of the free agents who have signed so far. I wouldn't target Gallinari either.
As for trades, who knows what other teams are willing to do?
