Makes a ton of sense? I am wondering how it makes sense.

Because we are broke and Dame coming from major injury wouldnt cost alot

We ain't broke lol. Just let the tax fall away this year then reload. Boston only team in nba gearing up for 26-27.

How crazy would it be if the Celtics added Dame and Beal to the team?

Neems is 25 and the Brit is 23. I'm pretty sure one of them can give you his stats if they're given a chance.

No need to pick up a 60+mil contract for the next 3 years.

It would be awesome to develop players with only playing time. But at this point we are starting the season with our 4th string center at tip off. We'd better hope at some point we can actually get a center who makes more than $20 million per.


Good luck on that with this ownership over the next 2 years. But such a center should at least deserve it. (And Brad will do something once he can trade Simons.)
Absolutely. The Celtics can't whiff on this. They're on the clock. The clock may run for the better part of the year, but it is running. I trust Brad Stevens. I have no reason to trust Bill Chisholm yet
Brad Stevens on fans who want the Celtics to tank: "I don’t think they’ll like me all that much then."

Old, injured guy who didn't play D, and so didn't win anything, when he was good?

The same people who where **** on Dame for his non D and mid seasons now want him here :lol:

Right!
We have a full roster and are over the Apron. WTF are we doing here. Is dame going to sign for a two year minimum and do w have a trade in place to get back under the Apron? Thats the only possible logic I can see here, but IDK, it makes very little sense to me. He will be 36 before he is on the court.

Wallace panned out. Shaq, healthy, was terrific. He just got hurt and couldnt come back.

That's nuts to me that you don't see it.

24 ppg at 34. One year off on a rehab. Couldnt we expect 16 ppg? Like he isn't getting a foot cut off.

We have plenty of assets to get under apron even further.

Shaq was really fun, getting lobs from PP and Rondo and the opposing players just get the EFF out the way, lol
at the same time tho, signing 38 yr old, 425lb Shaq is an absolute injury certainty so it's not like we just suffered a bad beat that Shaq got hurt

Don’t have to. His contract is up at the end of the season. I don’t think he’d leave but something to watch.

FROM SHAMS:

Denver has informed Jonas Valanciunas' reps that the franchise fully intends to have him honor his contract as the Nuggets view Valanciunas as a critical center addition to back up Nikola Jokic and play alongside him. Greek team Panathinaikos pursued Valanciunas in recent days.

Beal to Lakers then recruits JT after finishing his rehab. JT demands a trade and we get Austin Reaves as new face of the franchise.
