Free Agent/Trade Thread Offseason 2026, Part 8 (Those beaches will be open!)

Yesterday board was complaining about how Brad was going to make zero moves and run it back.

Today board is complaining about how Robinson sucks and how the team still needs to get rid of JB. The people who want JB gone for the most part have been begging them to deal him for years for anything.

I’m fine with this team as it stands now.

That's what the Celtics think too.

Sigh

Most teams don't play their backup centers in crunch time.

Ah. So you think this is our backup. Your think the Celtics won the championship based on the reactions in here.

I do. You think he starts over Queta? I like it just for the redundancy and having one more playoff rotation worthy guy. When Queta couldn't stop fouling against PHI, one more capable big would have been great.

Nice get in Mitch! Now he needs time with the staff to get into better shape with the Celtics, but with Queta at least he won't need to play big minutes.

Current roster:

1. Queta 7’0 248 C
2. Robinson 7’0 240 C
3. Cenac 6’11 240 F/C
4. Garza 6’10 243 C/PF
5. Tatum 6’8 210 PF/SF
6. Hauser 6’7 217 PF/SF
7. Brown 6’6 223 SF/SG
8. Walsh 6’6 205 SF/PF
9. Scheierman 6’6 205 SF
10. González 6’6 200 SF/SG
11. Harper Jr. 6’5 233 SF/G
12. White 6’4 190 PG
13. Pritchard 6’1 195 PG
14. Conley 6’1 175 PG
15. Banton?

2-Way

1. Williams 6’11 250 C
2. Tonje/Shulga 6’4 218 SG
3. Mitchell 6’8 210 F

10-Day

1. Uzan 6’3 180 PG
2. De Vries 6’7 210 G

While Robinson is not a star big man, he gives the Cs what the Cs need in a big man.

Now it's time to solve the Jaylen Brown problem.

Murphy is not as good as JB, but he's good enough.

This boards complaints will shift from "my turn your turn" to "Tatum needs more help," if they replace Jaylen with Murphy.

Yeah, I don't disagree with you.

Problem is JB returning is looking very unlikely for a number of reasons.

The next best thing is to get the best player available.

I mean, Conley signed for the vet min so not sure anyone should be upset.

Celticlifer · Post #227 » by **Celticlifer** » Wed Jul 1, 2026 3:59 pm

Still trying to understand why we have a JB problem. If we had Robinson last year we win the east easy. What is the problem with keeping him? Why put our a worse lineup next year just to dump him?

Brad gets back in the big W column.

Robinson is a massive signing and another one from out of nowhere.

MaxwellSmart · Post #229 » by **MaxwellSmart** » Wed Jul 1, 2026 4:00 pm

Now trade Brown/Garza for Murphy and Murray....Done.

Dude its a good addition that makes our team way better. Guy was a big part of a championship team and isn't coming on a huge deal. Of course people are going to like it, there isn't much to dislike about it. How many alternative uses of our MLE is out there that would have been better than this addition? Doesn't mean we're winning the title but we addressed a major weakness

Yes, he's good for a few minutes and he can help the young guys. If the team is serious about developing Uzan, for example, a vet like Conley is a good mentor. If Uzan is on 2-Wy, they'll have time in Boston to work together.

Having said that, I doubt Brad is done yet. Trust the process! 8-)

I don't think anyone is upset. I just think most think it will ultimately end up being a pointless signing. I personally don't care.

Better for sure. They needed rebounding.

Way better is a stretch.

I'll wait to see what they do with white and brown.

We have less of a JB problem now.

Those who don't think Robinson can play in crunch time, who got the rebound that sealed the Knicks win in Game 4?

The key to maximizing Mitchell Robinson's talent is to only use him when needed.

I'm not as high on Mitchell Robinson as the rest of you. Dude barley played 15 minutes in the playoffs cuz he's a total offensive liability coz of Hack A Mitch.

Vet minimum. Stealth move. Nothing dramatic, but solid.

Almost 20 years in the league and never got a tech: maybe he can help JT grow up on the court.
