Celtics General Offseason pt 7: Kemba We Keep Horford?

[sully00]

So no one believes in tacko fall? That’s why i don’t understand why didn’t danny gamble with bol bol.

I think Fall has a better chance of playing in NBA games next year than Bol Bol. He just doesn't do anything special besides being huge but he can play. He can dunk, rebound, block shots commit a ton of fouls. He is 7'6" and 300lb and is reasonably coordinated.

Next year maybe, but Bol if healthy, he could be really good in 3 years. If Tacko plays 1 NBA minute next year I’d be surprised. Let’s see what he can do in Vegas and Maine.

They are very different players. I like Bol better long term but it isn't just health he has to fill out that body he is way too light that is why I think he is more a long term project. But I love the upside if he can fill out.

Fall has played college ball for 4 years he can play but he also is what he is. He isn't going to blossom into an offensive player and he is never going to move as fast or as well as you would hope. But I think he will fill up a lot space and alter a lot of shots and he is ready to play back up mins anyhow.

give me a break. Today was great for Boston. Philly and Milwaukee both got worse with potentially the Raptors getting worse as well. The talent spread more today then I could have possibly imagined. Sign a defensive big and we are gold

LOL I lie to myself at times too.

Where am I off base? Philly is essentially trading Butler and Reddick for Horford which is a huge L. Milwaukee is losing Brogdan....The Raps could lose Kawhi. Butler is going to a treadmill in Miami and Indy mildly improved.....I don't see where we are taking some kind of hit

Butler and Redick for Horford and Josh Richardson who is a solid player! Butler didn't want to be there and he rubs everybody the wrong way on every team and Horford is better than Redick by a mile!

I'm not even talking about our team though, I was laughing about your thoughts on other teams getting worse.

This is accurate. Some people don't look at the teams. I like Philly, but not better than with the dynamic Butler.

The East will come down to these next signings, possible trades, and getting the roster right.

Everyone is worse. LOL

Offensively we have the weapons. The ceiling for this team will always depend on the chemistry and how much of a step up Hayward, Tatum and Brown can provide. If that works out, we're good.

Yeah, it would be nice to have a big who could stretch the floor like Al, and our bench is quite limited right now (but Brad could work his rotations to make sure we have two of Kemba, Hayward, Jaylen, Jayson on the court for most of the game), but our priority needs to be on the other end. Losing Al, Baynes and even Morris is a problem that needs to be adressed.

luckily those come cheap

... a good defensive center on the min would make sense.

Those exist?

Eh in this market they might. Lots of good players left.

[Celtics_History_Lesson]

Celtics will sign Kanter by the end of the night is my prediction.

I'd rather have Robin Lopez than Kanter.

Celtics would be better off with ebola than they would with Enis Kanter.

He Kanter play defense. He Kanter pass the ball. He Kanter do anything for his team to win.




Looking forward to the free agency fun when the west coast teams are allowed to do things.

Portland, LA1, LA2, San Diego, San Francisco, all sitting it out and waiting to enter the fray.






For those keeping score at home.

Boston's power forwards:

Semi Ojeleye
Grant Williams
Guerschon Yabusele


Boston's centers:

Robert Williams

But the Sixers struggle having Simmons and Embiid on the floor together at times your not going to be able to play your 3 best players on the floor together for big mins. I almost wonder if they are going to move Embiid.

[Ben-N1ce]

He really doesn't. It's more on the idiots who are running the teams who determine it. Thankfully the Celtics have Ainge.

Well the lakers will be favorites next season if that happens. They will find a way to build that roster up.

4 players and a bunch of min vet guys. I really don't see how that is a favorite.....especially when LeBron is going to be yet another year older

A team with 3 top ten players would not be the favorites in the NBA. Notsureifserious.

[DarkAzcura]

I’m really flabbergasted how a Harris, Horford, Simmons, Embiid lineup even works well together defensively.

Offense should be fine.

Pacers are better. Brogdon and Oladipo is a hell of a backcourt if Oladipo is good to go.

Philly got Horford and Richardson, two very good pieces. They're gonna be the best defensive team in the league.

[robdog_5]

Does anybody know what we can spend?

[Froob]

Man 4/97, I would have paid that. Guess we’ll see how we replace Al.

[scootch]

If our offense clicks, we're going to put the size-oriented lineups in the ground. Philly's perimeter game got far, far worse today.

[aim2please]

Olynyk also on his way to Dallas as part of the Butler 3 way. Look at this tweet from Lebron's buddy. Check the date

The Celtics were the EC favorites this past season. Just saying.
