Spoiler:
Sorry, bad joke. Stuff is scary and actually on the table, though.

This is actually part of Danny's plan, using the little known "Assassinated player exception" to acquire a starting caliber big.


Considering the league wouldn't even compensate us for Reggie Lewis's death, I wouldn't hold my breath.

Yea.

Danny traded Irving and Horford for Kemba and kanter.

That's basically the sum of it as of now and I really doubt anyone would of said yes to this prior to last week.

Kemba I'm gonna get behind but lol on Danny and his abilities to get bigs


That’s not at all what happened. Kyrie and Al decided to leave as FA’s, and Ainge was able to secure an all-NBA point guard and signed a stopgap center with what little salary was at his disposal.

You clearly want to push the narrative that Ainge should’ve done something differently as you always do. I’d be interested in hearing from you what better options were available that Ainge turned down.

Am I excited about Kanter- No. but I’m not going to rip the GM after he salvaged what was pointing toward a total disaster of an offseason. I’m actually looking forward to watching this team this year. They won’t contend for a championship, but they could get there in a couple years if things break the right way. I am excited to see how brown and Tatum develop, Hayward’s improvement (if he can improve a little, he could be a big trade chip next offseason with one year remaining), and determine what we have in R Williams and to a lesser extent the rookies.


Oh lord.

Bulldog.....enforcer....He will take a hit...But he has to get there first.... perhaps a modern day "Jim Luscutoff"... just hope he is quick enough to keep up with the modern game...He should get garbage put back baskets underneath...

Not my first choice, but, i'm gonna keep an open mind and hope Kanter fits in...

Still think we start he Williams boys....

His agent is a dummy. Celtics couldn't have done better with the market dried up at that price. Your not going to get a good player at that cost.. They were lucky to get one that can at least rebound well.

Well, I'm ok with Larkin coming back. Waters 2 way.
Walker/Larkin/Carson
Smart/Lanford
Hayward/JB
Tatum/Williams/Semi
Kanter/Williams/Theis/Tacko(or 2 way)

15th spot for vet min shooter or leave open for buyout.

I wouldn’t mind kanter carrying the offense when kemba is on the bench or when’s he’s playign with the 2nd unit but I do worry about him taking shots away from Tatum and brown etc and also the defense when the 1 and 5 don’t play it well.

If we do work an MLE-preserving sign and trade, we can still give Kanter half of it, and the other half to Looney..

Bummer.


Really...one thing that noone has mentioned is that Kanter might help a guy like Yabusele find himself...just having a guy who knows the league could help to slow the game down for our guys underneath...i just hope Kanter is willing to be that player coach for the young guys.. if he can do that, he will have earned his keep...

You don't spend a pick if you think you'll get him for free. Gotta believe in the diamond in the rough potential of 5 minutes a game.
