I noticed Suns fans are very negative about the KD trade which is somewhat surprising to me but also not haha.

Jakob Poetl
Feels like a big drop in talent from the above two, right? But it impacts the Celtics significantly. Poetl had been linked to the Celtics for some time, but he was traded last night to the Toronto Raptors. Still, this isn’t about Toronto as much as it is about Boston. Poetl is regarded as a solid defender and a big body who would have given the Celtics some depth behind Robert Williams as well as someone who can at least help body up people like Giannis Antetokounmpo. One longtime NBA evaluator thought Poetl “would help the Celtics.” Whether he helps Toronto is largely irrelevant.
Mo Bamba
This bears mentioning because as recently as yesterday, Bamba and Poetl were mentioned in the same breath as potential Celtics targets. But here’s what two longtime NBA talent evaluators texted yesterday about Bamba: The first? “Sucks.” The second? “Not a fan.” The point is that Poetl may have been the Celtics’ best option to find a backup big man. Now that is gone.
Felger and Mazz, two great basketball minds.
What do people do in this message board?
Give their perspectives on the state of the Celtics and NBA.
What did Mazz just do?
The same.

Not knocking you for posting. It's just Felger and Mazz are idoits and no absolutely nothing about basketball.

If the coach allowed for it Hauser can easily "eat" the regular season minutes as a Tatum/Brown backup.. He needs to play more anyway.. But even I don't trust Hauser in the playoffs yet. I am all in on getting another solid wing. Cam Johnson is my dream.. Don't see it happening though. Still want J McDaniels from Charlotte though.
DFS is also high on my wish list.. 4 years at around 14 million per might not be possible though.

Are we really **** getting Tony Mazz's opinion on the NBA? Jesus christ.

He'd be essentially filling the role that we got Gallo to play..
Olynyk a less dynamic scorer/play maker but probably a little better defensively..and well, KO is healthy..
