Yup, neither Hayward nor George's initials are anywhere in that tweet. We're getting both players. :nod:

No. What you're experiencing right now is completely normal and nothing to feel bad about.

That bit about rebounders/rim protectors (towards end of video) confirms the fears of most on this board. It seems Ainge & co. DGAF if you're a rebounder/rim protector but it's your only skill. I hope Zizic/Theis/Yabs pan out in Boston.

"It's a different me." *CLANK*
He doesn't need to work on his range for now. He doesn't have to be Curry to be good. Just has to work on his shooting accuracy a foot beyond the 3-point line first.

I just hope he becomes an average shooter, I hope he works on ballhandling, turnovers, and facilitating the most in the offseason. Imagine we get Ayton (or Bamba) and Porter, and our full rebuild/bench squad is Smart/Brown/Tatum/Porter/Ayton. Smart doesn't need to be jacking up shots, he needs to get those guys the ball and run the offense without turning the ball over. If he plays D like he plays D, shoots average/efficiently, and plays an intelligent, controlled game on offense, he'll be a stud for us for years. If he is the league-worst shooter again and has more of those huge turnover games like in Washington, I'm not sure what we do with him in the future, considering our cap is starting to tighten.

I'm sure the Pacers will really appreciate the work he's putting in.

Yo his stroke looks pure. He has changed it up a little bit. :lol:

He looks like he got in shape some. Its a contract year for him so he is putting in the work.

BULPETT: Celtics in best spot to land Paul George. Where's that it's happening gif

Something previously not thought of from that article:

The Celts would love to be able to put a couple of large conditions on a deal — something along the lines of we’ll give you X if he leaves us at the end of the 2017-18 season, and we’ll give you X plus Y and Z if he stays with the club beyond the year.

The Griffin mention:

But the Celtics have more chips than anyone else and thus are better equipped to play a little poker. Their hope would be that if they could get the All-Star forward here for a season, the quality and togetherness of the team around him and the way the club is supported — something that deeply impressed Clipper Blake Griffin when he saw the outpouring for Paul Pierce’s last visit as a player to the Garden — would make him want to stay.

And Hayward:

Pacers head of basketball ops Kevin Pritchard says he’s going to be patient as he looks for the right deal, and the Celtics, even if they can reach an agreement in principle with Indiana, will want to see what they can do in their free agent quest for Gordon Hayward before executing a move for George or anyone else. As the C’s try to maneuver their salary cap situation, they pretty much have to do things in that order.

Remember how you felt when Artest hit that dumb three in game 7? That is exactly how Marcus Smart is going to make some sad opposing fans feel someday in the finals. Don't trade him.

If we add stars, we wont have the money to pay Smart. Not even close. With all his flaws he'll still get a decent amount of money in FA I suspect.

It's gonna be in 2025 when he comes back here on a vet minimum contract as a ring chaser with Jaylen, Tatum and Porter, after making his big money elsewhere... Sounds about right to me.
