Not exactly. Still got Boogie, Looney, Lopez, Capela on the block. Only so much more money to go around. The Celtics can offer a chance to start on a marketable playoff team.

Maybe Tacko will destroy Embiid in the playoffs. I mean height wise Embiid is like a little baby by comparison.

I think Tatum will be.

Jaylen I am hoping has a great year till the deadline. Then I would trade him before we have to pay him 500 million dollars.

Is Dwight Howard available? I feel like the Celtics will go after him when everyone else is snatched up. :lol:

Tacko isn't an NBA player from the few games i watched of him in college. He's a foul machine and he'll get cooked on the perimeter.

Plus he can't shoot from anywhere.

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


Doesn't matter what the Celtics do. They aren't as good as the Bucks or Philly and if Kawhi stays with the Raptors they are behind them too unless you are confident that Tatum and Brown will take massive leaps and Hayward will be 85% of himself.

Tacko will need some more time before he’a Ready for real NBA minutes, but I believe he will get there.

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.


Yeah. Just wonder who is going to be left when the game of musical chairs ends. Hopefully it will be someone who can help. Or hopefully the braintrust figures out another way to get someone who can.

Then I still think the two biggest things that will determine the ceiling will be Hayward’s recovery and Tatum’s progress.

I want to believe but he is an undrafted rookie that might not even make the team.

He only started playing basketball a few years ago, but the height and 4.0 gpa are there.
