What did Svi do

Not get traded, I believe.

You’d be wrong as I’m not excited about Springer. Also, that’s the point, he hasn’t done anything… less than Banton in fact.

As it currently stands, Celtics would be shelling out $24M LESS in salaries and tax than last season.

That's a non issue. Those teams suck.

What's really gonna be painful will be watching Jamal Murray abuse the hell out of him.

PP isn't good enough.

Love that Knicks team. Might see them in the ECF.

Philly's done and Milwaukee seems broken.

Because of Grant? How did we do that?

That would make this all make sense. Osman's contract was too high for the TPE, and would have taken a few players to get him.

He fits into the Celtics 12.4M limit on buyout players though, at around 8M this year for current contract.

I hope Brad and Pop have a little nudge-nudge wink-wink on this, as Tillman and Osman are two solid additions. Springer would then be the icing on the cake as a young guy with potential, but not relied on for the playoffs.

Horford going from 20+ to 10 helped.

I’m not counting out bucks as long as Giannis is healthy. He’s as good as advertised and he has dog in him for sure.

I’m not afraid of any team but I’ll keep my eyes on a few! Knicks, Bucks, Pacers and a few in the west.

Brad gets an A+ for the work he's done since last year's playoffs ended.

Well, targeting a player like that so often takes a team out of their normal offensive flow/gameplan.

This season, teams have not had much success scoring on Pritchard when they've targeted him.

And if it becomes a problem, we have other guys we can put in there (Jrue, White, Tatum, Brown, Springer) who are all good perimeter defenders.
