Think Ingram ends up in Cleveland for Garland.

They don’t want him!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ingrams going to Philly!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The Cavs are out of their minds if they keep that core. Even Garland himself is telling them it doesn't work.

They be also claiming Donovan is going to extend there. Let's see if that happens. And if I'm Donovan I wouldn't even think of extending without promises of a better constructed lineup than their current one.

Idk their Front court looks shakey. Horford is 38, KP is injury prone, hey have way to much money invested in Tatum and Brown. It goes without saying KD is an amazing add to any team, but the Celtics are not built to be a dynasty.

not a dynasty but they've been in the ecf for like the past 7 years and in the finals twice in the past 2 years. they're not going anywhere soon as long as they have tatum and brown. they're probably the best duo in the league. i think as long as theyre both together, they're ecf bound no matter who is around them imo.

Idk, the east looks like it can be better. Philly might get PG, the Heat might pull a CHeat, Bucks and Knicks will get healthy, Orlando are some baby monsters. Indiana is some frauds but you never know. I think the way the league designed the aprons, eventually the money the Celtics have invested in their team is going to cripple them as designed. The Knicks cap management is still their greatest strength and one of the reasons they keep getting better.

i dont think the bucks are good, trading away jrue made them go backwards. i guess you do have philly if they get paul george/ingram, not sure how i feel about orlando outside of banchero, i think indiana isnt good. meh. i still think boston will be able to beat all of those teams. just look at what happened in 2022. they swept the nets that had kd/kyrie, took down the defending champs (bucks), and then beat the heat to get to the finals. those are a lot of great teams they beat and that's without jrue, kp. i just feel like tatum and brown will be able to get to the ECF for majority of the years they are together.

but with that being said, i do think us at full strength is probably the only team in the east that can take them down. i think its just us and boston. i dont respect the other teams that much. we might be a stretch 5 away from beating boston.

We got to beat them and then be ready to play the team that comes out the West. Basically we got to continue to strive cause all those teams will strive to improve as well.

Of course, getting that piece is easier said than done. There's also a good chance they're not healthy for a playoff run.

honestly, if we can't get that stretch 5, why not just let ihart shoot 3s? it seems like he has the green light to shoot 3s in the beginning of the season for the past 2 years but they go away from it. he won't ever be a sniper but the shot actually looks good

Cant speak for everyone but a few reason why hes on my list

Hes a cheap alternative if we lose out on one our centers who does a lot of things that Thibs likes in his center

82nd percentile at defending the rim with opponets shooting 2.9% lower than average.
90th percentile in offensive rebounding

Hes also a very good passer at the center position

1) use all 3 draft picks on 3&D types
2) let Precious, Burks, Bogs walk ($2m guaranteed on Bogs)
3) sign Patrick Williams or Isaac Okoro to full MLE to see if their teams match
4) extend iHart and OG
5) extend Thibs for 3 more seasons
6) run it back and evaluate team before Feb '25 trade deadline

Roster:

iHart / Mitch / Draftee
Randle / Oubre / Draftee
OG / Hart
DDV / Draftee
Brunson / McBride

Perfectly solid off-season and keeps us under the aprons.

Oubre 'coincidentally' switched to CAA kinda like OG did. I could absolutely see him as one of our moves. I just hope he isn't our MAIN move in addition to signing I-Hart and OG. We are basically one star away from having a bonafide championship caliber roster. And yes I do believe that even without a big move we could have a championship caliber roster but it definitely would take a lot more to fall our way to win a championship with it.

Hartenstein has untapped offensive upside due to his role on this team. Hopefully we get to see more of what he can do offensively especially if he resigns for 16M+

Very true. He's been more of a bruiser than a shooting threat, which is the opposite of what I expected. Thibs likes his offensive rebounds.

My main issue with Oubre was his 32% career 3pt shooting which is less than ideal. He’s better from the corners but still. Plus, he’s not a guy teams seem to want and that may be because of some character issues. Not sure we want that to mess up our good vibes. He was philly’s 3rd best player in the playoffs though on a min contract…

It's hard to say which I-Hart I prefer, honestly, because I think he can hit that shot a reasonably clip, but he crashes the ball so well, it kind of seems like one or the other thing. Maybe when he resigns, he'll have a bit more input on that shot? I wouldn't be opposed to letting him shoot 2 or 3 a game.

I agree, for sure, but hey, Josh has been on 7 teams. Kelly has been 5. I'm not looking at that kind of track record as a negative. I'm not killing myself to go get him, but if there's interest on both sides and he's a bench piece, I'd be interested.

He played his role quite well on Philly. Like someone said possibly their 3rd best player vs. us.

As a bench piece he would be an excellent addition.

that is one of my concerns as far as a reason we could lose him - outside of just the money. If a team outbids us significantly AND promises a bigger offensive role (more freedom to take 3s) - in general the Thibs offense feels like it's never going to allow a guy like him to really flourish. Brunson and him have good chemistry but could he prefer to play with more of a pass first PG or offense that will utilize him more? because if he can prove to be a 17-18 point scorer in addition to everything else, his next contract would be closer to a max.
