Brad is just too good, man.

Literally everyone back except Brissett. Just bring back in Lamar Stevens and we’re good.

I think a Lamar Stevens return would be great.

Welcome back Big Till!

I fully expect his minutes to sky rocket next season. He brings solid defence and some much needed aggression.

Yeees!

Anxious to see how much he got...

I think Tillman is going to blossom in his second season especially with Porzingas out and Horford’s load management.

I'm a little surprised if, in fact, they got him back on a vet min deal. Offensive shortcomings for sure, but, thought the defensive contribution would interest a few teams enough to get him near tax payer MLE.

Even the offensive shortcomings are overblown. He knows how to play. Just his hustle on that end, his passing, and the opportunistic nature of his scoring are valuable to teams with top-end talent.

Only Celtic to win a game at the buzzer this season, right?

Psyched they’re bringing him back for at least two more years!

Not a buzzer-beater but close. Might be under 5 secs remaining or something.

EDIT: Under 8 seconds. But yeah, we didn't have any other game-winners with under 10 secs left this season, IINM.

Great news, this is fantastic. I think he'll be even better this next season with a full offseason training camp with us and getting even more involved with the guys.

Weird huh? We had his Bird Rights. And, he's young.
A Vet Minimum doesn't do him justice.

Sweet!!!! What’s the digits?

So a minimum deal? Surprised, but ok. We can supermax him after he makes all NBA in 2026.

Remember the times when NBA teams could keep up with the Celtics for the full 48 minutes and they had to be clutch to win games ? Glad that doesn't happen anymore :lol:

2 yrs at the Vet Minimum. -- 2 yrs/$4,784,367.
This is a heist.

Think there will be a healthy dose of pairing Al and Tillman.

Post #360 » by **Parliament10** » Tue Jul 2, 2024 10:30 pm

So, Queta gets 3 yrs, but Tillman get 2 yrs???

Is this Bizarro World?
