Free Agent, Trade & Extensions Thread, 2024-25 (i.e. How do we make the Champs even better?)

The Celtics blasted through the second apron so fans would no longer have to argue about who to acquire using their TPEs. TPEs are so Ainge era.

Imagine thinking twitter was all true before Elon Musk. The mental gymnastics some people will go through are astonishing.

Elon took away verification and many other core features and now is indiscriminately allowing porn.

That alone has made accounts such as hoops cenral an issue. That would be easily identifiable in the old twitter.

He destroyed it. Not that it was all that great to begin with, but the algorithm sucks, we have a more difficult time of telling who is real and who is fake and has has made paying for premium twitter essentially a way to artificially build audience and influence,

It’s step back UX wise from what they are doing. The alternatives aren’t mature yet, but eventually it will go away.

From a Mazzulla ball analytics perspective, an out-of-left field option if Tillman leaves could be signing Oscar Tshiebwe to a guaranteed roster contract and see if the Pacers match. He is a Pacers restricted free agent who led the G last year in both OReb and DReb.

What kind of name is that?

The one who made his birth certificate just randomly typed letters?

I don’t get it? Fed owners? Who are they?

Ain’t my money. He just burned as pile of his own cash on fire and is trying to at least not lost all his money.

Brilliant guy, but stick to rockets, cars, batteries and the future of human travel.

Stay out of the media space where he can’t make as nickel. I owned twitter stock. I was thrilled at the buyout. LOL.

Has trading for a Wizards player ever worked out? Even Webber came up short

Lol, Kristaps Porzingis, haha

Yeah that was the joke I was making

[ConstableGeneva]

BOOM. As predicted. Cs went the Sam Hauser route with Queta.

Read on Twitter

Joe is using him this season. I can guarantee that.

Huge if he’s a viable 20mpg option for three years.

Cs went the Hauser route with Queta, hopefully Queta develops via the Hauser route for the Cs.

Horford should take Q under his wing. Pass along every nugget of wisdom he has onto the "young guy". Hopefully, X too.

Listing of each team's estimated "spending power" right now.

Apologies for the long post, but once again will list out each team's center depth chart, since that's our primary focus in this thread. Only update since I posted yesterday was Bamba to LAC. Also posting the best available centers as well:

Refreshing my C depth charts around the NBA after Goga re-signed with ORL:

ATL - Okongwo/Capela
BRK - Claxton/Sharpe (Clowney can also play here)
CHA - Mark Williams/Nik Richards
CHI - Vucevic/Jalen Smith
CLE - Allen and then technically no backup but Mobley plays here too besides starting at PF
DAL - Gafford/Lively/Powell (Kleber plays here too)
DEN - Jokic/Nnaji/DeAndre Jordan/1st rounder Holmes
DET - Jalen Duren/Beef Stew (would hope for their sake Beef Stew at PF is done)
GSW - Looney/Trayce Jackson-Davis (Draymond plays here too)
HOU - Sengun/Adams/Landale
IND - Turner/Isaiah Jackson (Toppin plays here too)
LAC - Zubac/Bamba
LAL - Ant/Wood/Hayes
MEM - Edey only pure 5 but JJJ and Aldima play here as well
MIA - Bam/1st rounder Ware/Love/Orlando Robinson
MIL - Lopez/Portis
MIN - Gobert/Reid (KAT plays here too)
NOP - only the rookie Missi
NYK - Mitch Robinson/Jericho Sims (Randle plays here too)
OKC - Chet/Hartenstein/Jaylin Williams (not the good Williams lol)
ORL - WCJ/Goga (Isaac plays here some and they have rights on Wagner)
PHI - Embiid/Drummond/B-Ball Paul
PHX - Nurkic/Plumlee (Bol plays here too)
POR - Ayton/Clingan/Timelord/Duop Reath
SAC - Sabonis/Len (Lyles plays here too)
SAS - Collins/Bassey (Wemby plays here too)
TOR - Poeltl/Olynyk (Boucher plays here too)
UTA - Kessler/Eubanks (Collins plays here too)
WAS - JVal/Holmes/Bagley (Sarr could play here too)

Top remaining centers on the free agent market:

Mo Wagner
Precious Achiuwa
Xavier Tillman
Tristan Vukcevic
Dario Saric
Daniel Theis
James Wiseman
Thomas Bryant

[ConstableGeneva]

Still a ton of money to be had. But my gut tells me Tillman ultimately stays on a decent 3-year deal.

Fed owners were the Govt....censoring view points and only allowing certain views, while banning accounts they didn't like. They don't have that control anymore since Elon bought out Jack Dorsey (who was told who/what to censor)....Now you take the good with the bad, but I'd much rather have freedom of speech and decide for myself.

I really wanna feel bad about the Heat and their fans. Wait, no, I don't.

[redslastlaugh]

James Wiseman was called, “the most destructive high minute player in the NBA, if you care about winning,” by Haralabob on Bill Simmons pod.

His on/off numbers are that freaking bad.

[keevsnick1]

C's now have 13 roster spots accounted. My guess is they'll sign one more guy to a guaranteed contract, whether that's Tillman, Brisset or a veteran free agent. Then they'll leave the 15th roster spot open until mid seaosn like they did last year to save some tax money, maybe give it to one of their two way guys at that point.

So basically C's might be very close to done. Sign one more player, extend Hauser, fill out two-way spots.

[Celts17Pride]

If no Tillman, then sign two young players like Amari Bailey and Tristan Vukcevic. Start grooming the next wave of Celtics. Porzingis, Holiday and Big Al won't be around much longer.
