Robin Lopez gone too. We're running out of options.

Offense should be fine.

I actually don't understand the offensive side of the ball

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


You really think a Harris, Horford, Embiid, Simmons lineup will do well defensively? We will see..

Add Richardson in there, who's a hell of a perimeter defender. The only weak link is Harris, and even he isn't terrible.


Individually they are all fine defensively. Doesn’t mean they will work well together, though, on that end. You could put 5 Duncan’s next to each other and they will get ripped to shreds defensively by a normal team with guards and wings.

I question putting an aging Horford back at PF and Harris to get stuck guarding 2s on occasion. Seems like a disaster waiting to happen.

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

Don’t forget Theis... thought nothing official I am sure he is back.




Can only list those under contract.


Theis at the moment is just like Perrier or Tacko, a maybe. Celtics can match any offer he gets, unless he is back to Europe for Mirotic money.


Will give it a few more hours, wait for another Celtics move.



Mike Muscala to OKC.

Why are the Thunder only signing players to replace S Adams?

It's still gonna be awkward, unless Simmons suddenly develops a jumper

why are people ignoring how good Butler was for Philly last season and in the playoffs? He was arguably their best player

Sure, but they seem to be putting a lot of faith in a coach they wanted to fire last season in making this work
