Who would you carry onto 2024-25 Roster? – (Knowing what you know now)

[RickyDizzle]

I mean the guy was dumped for a couple of second round picks one of them 6 years out how much lower can his price get?

Well that was his value on an expiring contract. That's not a great gauge of his open market value.

[Parliament10]

I think Mykailiuk, Tillman (more money and more playing time from another team) and Brissett (see Tillman) will be gone.

Springer, Walsh, Queta, will have bigger roles. Celtics will keep the 30th pick.

Mykailiuk is surely gone; he gets no playing time. Brissett I think may take off, too.
Tillman though, is going to get more and more playing time. He fits as Horford's replacement, down the line.

[redslastlaugh]

I like Tillman’s game. I wonder tho if the Celts see him as the Al replacement long term. Because to fill that role on offense requires 3 point shooting.

I like Queta a lot and hope he gets a lot of minutes next year, but the Cs need a younger floor spacing big. I wonder if they are interested in Filipowski in the draft, if he slides, would they move up for him?

I think when Brad first got here, he played a role in drafting Kelly Olynyk because that’s the type of big Brad wants and Filipowski is this years Olynynk, and that seems the model of player they want to replace Al not a Tillman type who’s not a scorer.

This is why I like Da Silva a lot in this draft too. Though, he's going to require a trade up. Kyle too most likely, but maybe one will slip.

[Riverwalk2021]

If Al retires or not after winning a ring, we should look for an athletic rim runner who can defend space. We have tradable contracts in Pritchard and Springer plus picks we can easily move. Pritchard is fine but wouldn’t mind a more versatile scoring option or TJ McConnell in his role.

Excited to see Queta and Walsh get some rotation minutes with Korn Dog and Brissett likely on the way out. Their upsides are definitely the most intriguing. Tillman is fine but his offensive limitations makes me think he’s not a fit here.

Hauser isn’t going anywhere on his bargain deal but I could see Walsh eating into his minutes if he takes a big leap.

[playa-hater]

I am all for trading Tatum if he doesn't stomp Luka's fat ass and deliver 18 (even If Brown or KP get Finals MVP)

Tillman played well in tonight's 3-0 Win, in the Finals.
I figured that he would get his chance in the Finals. He's a reluctant 3pt shooter, but he can make them.
He'd have to improve by at least 25%, to as much as 50%.

Absolutely boring off-season if Luke, Tillman, and Brissy return.

It gets interesting if the Cs lose 1, 2 or all 3 of them in FA.

We know our starters without a doubt. (White should be extended for 4/127, Holiday, Brown, Tatum will be extended for 5/317 and Porzingis).
Our bench will NOT be a revolving door as in the past. I expect Brad and Joe to have the following rotations off the bench next season:

Pritchard, ( ) Hauser (extended), Tilman (resigned), Horford
Springer, Walsh, ( ), Kornet (resigned), Queta (extended)

Brissett may fill the third SF slot, but he will need to develop a better and more consistent shot.
I think Svi is gone, and I think we need a vet scoring 2/3 to run with Pritchard and Hauser. I don't think, at this point, Springer is the answer. I hope I am wrong though. I would love it if Walsh made a jump this year to take the spot.

As a side note, I agree with some of the posters that if given the right coaching, Queta could take all of Kornet's minutes. He has a better offensive game and just seems like a better defender and rebounder.

[brackdan70]

My thinking has evolved a little.
Pick up team options for Hauser (no brainer) and Queta. Brisset controls his destiny. If he opts out let him go. If he’s opts in I am happy.
Sign Tillman to a multi year deal…Pritchard money? Maybe a bit less. Kornet for the minimum, if he doesn’t take it let him go. Use the 30 pick rather than trade it on the best player available…but no short combo guards. So that puts us at 13-15 guys depending on Brisset and Kornet. I think our 2nd round pick is a two way. I think Brad keeps a spot open just in case. Consider a ring chaser…maybe Dario Saric? If all else fails sign JD Davison.

[celtxman]

Svi is gone, Kornet probably priced himself off the team, Davidson gets an NBA contract next year and they draft a big to develop to take Luke’s role

Yes. Reminiscent of Posey. You can't blame him for leaving for the money. He effectively eats up regular season minutes, but obviously couldn't play in the playoffs. I don't know how with the 2nd apron, but I wouldn't be surprised if Brad Stevens is trying to work something with a big. I think Queta is a big possibility here. I think he can play. I also wouldn't be surprised if they signed him before next season starts because they think he's good and can't afford for him to be a UFA.

[ParticleMan]

+ Queta- We need to give him another year to see if he can figure out how to play D. my guess is it's hopeless but his size and athleticism doesn't grow on trees.
+ Davidson- Weird player but I saw genuine improvement this year, and he's just about outgrown Maine. Not the worst guy to have as a 15th man. Still very young.
- Peterson- See you, Drew. Not NBA level.
+ Walsh- Needs more consistency like most young guys. As with Queta, too soon to give up on that youth, length and athleticism.
+ Hauser- Dude could start for half the teams in the L.
+ Springer- Joe seemed to like him, good active D but doesn't know how to play to his strengths. Talent is there, worth keeping him around to see if he can develop it.
- Svi- Like the guy's gunslinger mentality but hard to see a place for him. D is incredibly poor. Got his ring, time to move on.
- Brissett- Wish we could keep the guy but I don't think it'll happen. He's better than his current role and he knows it.
+ Tillman- Horford turned himself into a 3pt sniper midway thru his career, can X do the same? He's definitely trying. Has good BBIQ, seems like a good dude, he's a keeper and I think he will be cheaper than Luke.
+ Kornet- Would love to keep him, I was wrong when I thought he'd never be a reliable rotation guy. Even though Tillman moved ahead of him in the rotation we should make an offer.

[redslastlaugh]

I somewhat hope Brissett opts out, even though he’s a good dude and had a good year in his role. If Wyc decides to splurge and carry a 15 man roster, I’d say:

Same starters, duh : White, Holiday, JT, JB, KP
Bench : Al, Payton, Hauser
Reserves: Kornet, Tillman, Walsh, Springer
Back Bench: Queta, Davison, 1st round draft pick

No room for ring chaser free agents this year.

Yeah that’s the off-season. There’s room for 2/3 of Davison, Brissett and a draft pick guy if they go 15 men. But not all three.

I have a feeling that Brad will sign Hayward to the minimum hoping for a Big Al style resurrection from him. Especially if Brisett is gone. Luke is probably getting 7 or 8 mil a year, Boston, probably can't nor should they match that.

[snowman]

Queta / Kornet:
If we keep both, I think Queta will be ahead of Kornet in the rotation by all-star break. Kornet made 2.4 mil this past season and only played a total of 33 minutes during the Pacers and Mavs series COMBINED. I highly doubt that he will get an offer of over 5 mill a year from another team. That's 2x this year's salary. I expect Boston to offer 3 years 12 mil total, team option for 3rd year and if he declines let him walk. I expect Queta's qualifying offer to be picked up, and probably extended to 3 years 10 mil total, with a team option on 3rd year.

Tillman / Brissett/ Hauser:
I expect Tillman will be offered around 3 years 10 mil total, with a team option on 3rd year. That's over a million dollar raise each year from his 1.9 mil salary this past season. Brissett will pick up his player option of 2.4 mil. Hauser will be the one who get a decent bump to a contract. He has a club option at 2 mil this coming season, but I think he will get offered a bump to 3 years 14 mil total.

None of the above, in my mind, will get more that 4 mil a year except Hauser, who would still be under 5 mil a year. All still very tradable contracts,

White and Tatum:
Both be given the full amount and years available to them.

Add these to Holiday, Brown, Porzingis, Horford, Pritchard, Walsh, Springer, who are already signed and that leaves only Svi's spot, who I do not think will be with the team next season.

Would be a great move if Hayward weren’t completely washed up.
