Celtics General Offseason pt 7: Kemba We Keep Horford?

[Celtics_Champs]

Everyone plays where they want to play anyway, nba should just say **** the salary cap.

[31to6]

WTF is Ainge doing?

How can he know Horford ain’t coming back and we’re sitting here almost already out of options when it comes to bigs?

I don’t know if I can bear with watch a team starting Enes **** Kanter

did you like my Vuc-or-Bust campaign?

YES. YES. YES. WE NEED THIS. THIIIIIISSSS.

I would have wanted Portis this past season, nut with Kyrie and Terry gone there's nobody on the team who I'd want Portis to lay the **** out.

Pass.

[WeLikeOurGuys]

Bobby Portis is available

Dont need any crushed eye sockets on our team.

Haha just trying to come up with decent big guys left.

We get compensation from the Hornets, rather than the other way around?

Great -- but why??

As I understand it, Rozier was close to signing with Phoenix. Charlotte also wanted him. Boston sign and trading allowed Charlotte to up their offer and get their guy.

The Boogie man is coming

Someone tell Ainge he don’t have to wait until July 1st

We just signed an All-NBA player a couple of hours ago.

Tough crowd lol.

Tough crowd let's see now we draft small lose rozier,irving, horford,morris, baynes, and sign an older version of kyrie without the attitude. Let a plethora of decent bigs with good contracts walk without talking to them. so ya not a tough crowd a very smart crowd that sees a hurry up plan turn to no depth and below avg available bigs left that we will most likely have to pay and play, all the while almost every eastern team not named wizards increased there talent.

Yep. Seriously don’t get these everything is fine posts. I guess it’s to be expected from posters who spend months telling everyone Davis will be a Celtic when it never even came close.

All signing Kemba did was alleviate a disaster. It wasn’t some genius move.

Meanwhile the rest of our team got gutted and we are left hoping Jaylen Brown learns how to dribble and Tatum can figure out how to be a great scorer. Both fairly ridiculous expectations in just one off season.

So just a question regarding our Memphis pick next year, was it a projected top 6 pick ? If so just wondering who they players are we’ll be looking out for ?

[Darthlukey]

So are we getting a TPE in the Rozier deal or was it lost to sign Kemba?

I don't think S&Ts generate TPEs.

They do

Taco, Time Lord, Grant Williams not bad start

We don't want the pick next year, want it in 2021.

Protected/projected is an important distinction in this context.

Tell me we're not bringing Noel to be the starting C lol

I like Nerlens. Low usage athletic defender who can pass a bit. The kind of guy our top 4 really needs behind them.

He can be a decent big. At least he can defend the rim and a legit 7.

He isn’t. Also not a good character guy or person. There is a reason he hasn’t lived up to expectations.

Is Tyler Zeller still in the league? I know Kaminsky is available and Brad would probably love him.

Bucks got worse. Raps will likely get worse. Philly arguably got worse. Indy will still not have Dipo for a bit. Nets won't have KD all year, and are likely not improved in short-term. Magic and Pistons not doing anything. Hornets just replaced Kemba and Kaminsky with Rozier.

That was the rest of the top 9 in the East, fwiw (Hornets on a tiebreaker over Heat, who aren't much to worry about, either).

We can compete in the east this season. Just need a rim protector in the middle to stop Giannis and Embiid. Simmons would attack us inside all the time if we don’t have someone underneath to defend.

[BigTrade92]

Sign Cousins dammit so I can go to sleep!

[GregB]

Wait, why are we being rewarded with compensation from tthe Hornets?

Rozier might have had offers in this range elsewhere and the S&T was the only way for them to get there.

Willie Hernangomez?

Smitty with some levity at the Celtics' expense:
