Welcome to Boston, Xavier Tillman!

[playa-hater]

Give X a fair contract and lock him and Springer in the gym all offseason. 1 million 3's each.

Kudos to Stevens

would Love to add J Walsh in on this.. 3 shooting 3s sounds better as well.

Tillman is really growing on me.

I want him working with a shooting coach this offseason. I need him to become lethal at that Corner 3, and obviously, sticking to Al like glue.

[Lee Van Cleef]

If he can improve his wide-open 3 percentage to 40%, he will be a solid player in Mazz's rotation.

You just described everyone on the Celtics roster

[playa-hater]

I don't want or need X man to ever pull as often as Al. But do Agree, if he can just make a decent amount, especially from the corner, he will make a solid Rotation piece going forward.

He already is a solid player. The guy started a dozen playoff games in the last couple seasons. He just doesn't play much here because it's really freaking hard to crack the rotation of a 64 win team especially when coming over mid season.

If he ever gets to 40% on threes, even on low volume and even if he only takes them from the corner then he is an above average starter.

Not really. Tillman is bigger, a significantly better defender, a better passer and by all accounts a better locker room presence.

Grant Williams is the only rotation guy that Stevens hasn't extended as soon as he was allowed by the CBA (technically White is the other exception but that is quite clearly getting done this summer so they can tack on an extra year at the end of the extension). Stevens let Grant walk instead of matching the Mavs offer while he used assets to bring Tillman to Boston. See the difference ?

To add to this he didn’t let Grant Williams walk he traded him for second round picks Brad turned around and used in trade for Xavier Tillman.

Tilman could get a lot more run next year if he re ups. Al and Zinger are gonna need a lot of rest.

[Parliament10]

I hope that Tillman re-signs.

Hopefully we can resign him...

[Curmudgeon]

The Knicks will almost certainly go after Tillman.

[phincsfan]

The Knicks will almost certainly go after Tillman.

Orlando also

¿¿DONDE ESTA XAVIER??

[brackdan70]

The Knicks will almost certainly go after Tillman.

They won’t be able to offer much….Tax payers MLE or maybe less.

This classic song, "Tillman Allí Estabas Tú" (Tillman There Was You), sung by the very famous Paul McCharmley, explains our feelings about the Xavier Tillman signing -- in two languages!
