So a third-tier center in order to keep both Smart and Brown? Who's off the bench next season, Smart as the second-string PG?

I guess this is why he got a summer league invite so the Celtics can find out live.


It's more likely that glass will break Tacko Fall.

Seems like a nice kid, super tall, but he's like a destitute man's Hasheem Thabeet.

I'd love to be proven wrong, but I won't be.


Hold on Tacko isn’t weak. He is 300 pounds.

But, he also is nowhere near Thabeet for talent.

So, if Thabeet is your ceiling, enjoy Maine.

Is he that heavy?
He still doesn't look like he has any Strength, from side to side.

You keep leaving Marcus Smart out when you are mentioning players. He is a solid player, and the heart of our team. ShouIdn't leave him out. I know you think our only hope of winning the championship is to add another big star to the team, but do you even consider the possibility that one or more of our players will develop into one? I do, but perhaps that's just my optimistic nature. The glass is half-full, man.

Horford and Baynes are both sadly moving on.

Jrue/Lonzo/Ingram/Zion/Horford should be pretty fun to watch out west. If they can grab someone like Danny Green to alternate with those wings, they could be quite good. Zion is going to do very well next to Horford.

I am over kyrie. He has moved on and changed his mind. I am not kyrie nor am i living for him. If he leaves, good for him. He exercised his right as a human being to change his mind, so did the celtics.You move on.

While Kemba is presumably a huge character/personality upgrade over Kyrie, he probably isn't over Al. Similarly, while he's very competitive with Kyrie in on-court value, he isn't with Kyrie+Al.

I'll find it hard to be excited in any scenario where Horford indeed leaves.

We go after vucevic and we could have beverly rubio etc so we swing for walker and now have to deal with scrubs at center.


We won't have a scub at center.

I'm impressed with how Griffin is just not accepting the traditional rebuild from the ground up with youngsters path. He is also making a solid attempt to be competitive and playoff bound next season.

Yeah. Unless Ainge and Co. pull a rabbit out of their hat, it seems pretty likely. If one or more of our draft picks proves to be solid, I could live with that.

Jrue is an unusually good 2nd banana for a team dealing with a trade demand from a superstar, plus lucking into first pick with Zion in the draft. But Horford's game is a great choice for their needs.

I think Wyc and the owners would only go into the luxury tax if we had a stacked team and were a lock to make the Finals.

They've extended the QO to Rozier and Theis. The others are all renounced. I would expect Rozier to go in some sort of sign and trade, either to Charlotte, Houston or Indiana.
