I certainly wouldn't hate it if we scoop up Kispert tomorrow.

He had 23 points tonight against possibly the hottest team in the NBA.

HIs last 4 games: 23 points, 15 points, 26 points, 16 points..and that's coming off the bench!

1:25 impressive movement shooting here
1:43 nice drive and finish in the lane
2:42 smooth catch and shoot 3. Looks like prime Danny Green on this play
3:08 this dude can SHOOT
7:20 LOVE this play. Takes it strong to the rim, met by a help defender (Evan Mobley, an all-NBA caliber defender), takes the contact from Mobley, finishes through the contact for the and-1
7:54 decent job defensively to close out and contain the drive

If we don't or unable to trade for a BIG DEFENSIVE GUARD, we can just go the GATTACA route for Pritchard. He'll have those legs ready in time for the playoffs.

I was looking at Kispert too. Would love a wing.

Now that the Cs have the big body that the Celtics need, I think getting Caruso should be explored.

Yea but I dont see a reason why Bulls would sell him now for what we can give em.

Problem is he doesn’t do it in the other 29 arenas

If the Celtics get home court he doesn't have to...

True.

Does not hurt the Cs at all if they don't get Caruso.

I'm late to the party because I was thinking the Cs could only make 1 move.

We need to upgrade our bench

He's not a shot creator. Memphis is really bad this year. Not the best combo. I'd imagine his finishing numbers will improve in Boston by osmosis. Defensively, he's tough as nails. He will pick up on the schemes quickly.

The starting point is going to be Pritchard & 2 first round picks. Caruso will not come cheap. I'd do it because he's under contract for next season as well. Boston could hypothetically win the ship this season and return their entire core which is super rare. 6'5 and defensively he's a major difference maker. It would be ridiculous to have Jrue/White AND Caruso as the guard unit. Tatum/Brown/Hauser/OB on the wing. KP/AH/X/Kornet up front. Just an incredible roster. Incredible even without Caruso and keeping Pritchard. My only concern is how much can Pritchard actually help in a tough playoff series against the top dogs. Probably, not much.

I'd also do something like Svi & 2nd rd pick for Dunn.

Yeah that would be really solid as well. So that and we are set.

Caruso would be the icing on the cake.
Guards would have nightmares playing Boston it would push us above everyone in the league.
