Celtics General Offseason pt 7: Kemba We Keep Horford?

Ain't nothing Ainge can do. Hells no to paying 109m to a 33yr managing his minutes and injuries. That's the definition of insanity.

Love Al but NEXT!

But how in the world so we put together a front court to handle Giannis and now Embiid & Horford

Favors is the answer to all our problems

Hmm.. I can’t say I know too much about Favors. How’s he on defense? On the boards? Is he mobile? Can be catch lobs?? I need answers !!

Philly has no outside shooting now, except for a streaky Tobias Harris and an oft-injured Horford.

Losing Reddick really hurts them.

We need to get a big man for sure. Don’t know for sure.

With indy philly and nets and even pelicans getting better even knicks picked up bigs magic got longer I'm no longer thinking we can handle any of the bigs regardless of who's available to pick up. This is a big big let down for the celtics today.

My biggest concern remains who are we going to have up front. Doesn’t sound like we have the MLE with just the Charlotte s&t so if it’s just the $4.something million, no idea what that’s going to buy in this market. Gibson got $10 million. Dedmon got over $13 million. Bryant got over $8 million. Hopefully there will be a fit, but some of this money being spent is...well...interesting.

That’s the (fallback) plan, though: some guys are going to come off the board at higher $s, and then the bigger money dries up and we hopefully have someone palatable at what we can offer. It’s not great, but it’s all we’ve got pending some S+T magic that I’m sure they’ll keep trying for.

They will find shooters dude. Every contender finds them by March.

Defensively they will be elite.

Theoretically Al guards Tatum? That’s a win.

Meanwhile Embiid puts up 40 and 20 against our awful front line.

I didn’t realize the season started tomorrow. :banghead:

Dragic is a good fit in Dallas. Another European there. I guess Cuban wasn't joking when he said Euros > US players.

Miami has another move in them. They don't have a point guard right now. Is Beal rumor real?

I still think we have a glut of guards/Wings and would be happy to offer up a package of them for Dray. Doesn’t cure us needing a center though.

I don’t know how we run into next season with Hayward/Tatum/Brown again, though.

Basically not much changed on our end in terms of outlook. We were kinda just teased for a little.

Will Indiana trade us Sabonis now?

How is it any different to the Celtics fans on here being negative about Philly’s lack of depth and shooting?

It’s day one exactly. They’ve still got time to make more moves just like we do.

So does anyone actually have an answer on the MLE? Also, Kanter...?
