I'm sorry, you're right, we should let our all-NBA wing leave for nothing in the middle of a title run so we have enough salary flexibility to sign a backup center for the MLE next offseason.

New salary cap rules is designed to break up super teams after a few years.

Cs will have to be creative in a couple of years.

Howdy guys,

Just wanted to take a couple of minutes and leave a message here.

Congrats for the title. It was well deserved, contrary to what some critics might say. This was a truly great season from beginning to end, a dominating team with an amazing core. You add those two things and I think this achievement will age well in the coming years in historical terms.

I'm a Warriors fan, but above all I'm a basketball and NBA fan, and Boston's history and great players over the decades hold a special place in my heart.

I'm specially happy for my friend Bisme. He's such a great person, amongst many other Boston fans here in RealGM. With fans like these it's not hard to root for Boston. I feel glad to see you guys enjoying the title, and surely there's a great window of contending in the years ahead.

Kind regards.

That's why you need to make and hit on some draft picks. If Walsh can become a rotation guy and you hit on #30 that's a good start.

Congrats, BOS fans.

Duncd On did a solid timeline of all the moves starting with the BKN deal. Begins at the 9:30 mark. Goes on for a while :lol:

They had events in the Garden twice -- once right after the last game, and one before the parade.

For example, the mayor and governor spoke at the second one.

Note: Mayor Wu has positioned herself as fairly basketball friendly, IMO, and Governor Healey actually used to be a pro basketball player herself.

Now that the Celtics got their title, there's an argument to be made that they're the best team in the last 5 seasons.

Tied for most titles: 1
Tied for most finals appearances: 2
Most conference finals appearances: 4
Most wins incl. playoffs: 308 (17 more than 2nd place MIL)
Most playoff wins: 52 (13 more than 2nd place MIA)
2nd most RS wins: 256 (4 less than 1st place MIL)
Tied for best single RS record: 64-18 (78.0%)
Best record for a playoff run: 16-3
