Celtics General Offseason Thread Pt. 8: You're Killing Me Smalls

[NYCelticsfan136]

Leonard is sure milking his decision.

[CelticsLV]

Is WCS still available?

Does he even want to play basketball?

Another clear signal from the Kanter signing is this:

You want Robert Williams on the floor? There's no doubt that's going to happen now. Kanter's a low minute non-shotblocker. Barring a surprising new addition to the roster, Robert Williams will have to play and play well for the team to succeed.

Which is why we probably will get someone else too. We all want him to do well, but lets be honest, he looked bad out there in very limited minutes last year.

He did? What were you watching? If anything I think he was held back and should have received more minutes based on his play. You can’t develop young players by constantly preventing them from playing. His shot blocking alone is worth time on the floor. I’d like to see him at 15-20 mins per night this year.

I saw a player with potential, but also someone that was jumping at every ball fake, out of position on D and only got into games in deep garbage time. Not regular garbage time, last off the bench and a few minutes later garbage time. Not to hate on him, but people thinking he's going to be a big part of this team this year are probably setting themselves up for a let down. And hopefully I'm wrong and he has a fantastic 2nd year.

Do not like 2nd year is player option ...he will have huge season number wise and imo bolt in next year fa.

But I really, really like this signing.

If he gets a ring though... he might opt in.

Presumably we have bird rights a year from now?

Wes Matthews signed with Milw for the min

Did MIL lose Brogdon? If so that's a horrid move for them when I watched them last season and Brogdon was healthy he was better than Kris.

Yeah they traded Brogdon to Indiana for a couple picks.. They also signed RoLo for the lower exception..

[ZeroTolerance]

Ok, i'll bite. I would be ok with Noah at vet min as long as he knows playing time is not guaranteed and is ok with being a cheerleader some nights.

Again as long as he has beaten his demons....he could be a sort of player coach to help the youngsters learn the league...position rebound, and if he can regain that fire he once had, add another bulldog when his services are needed..

‪Celtics will eventually find the right star. Kyrie just wasn't the right one.‬

[LobCityRondo2KG]

Just give Kemba a chance Afam..

Rolo is trash, if he doesn't hit the 3, a guy like Kanter will bully him. And he didn't hit the 3 much in the playoffs. Brogdon to me is A HUGE loss for the Bucks, and they paid Middleton way too much.

[Afam]

It is Kemba's time.

I think they overspent on a number of their resigns.. Basically locked into that roster now..Giannis leaving will cripple them.. doubt he does tho

[zoyathedestroya]

Give me Jamychal Green at the vet min and Ainge would have done a really nice recovery job.

We found a way to sign someone to about $11M. Just don't know if it's legal haha. viewtopic.php?f=8&t=1864905

It seems like it though. Just depends on the order of transactions. Really wish Smitty was still here. He could confirm if it's allowed.

If he plays well enough to get the full MLE then that’s a big win for the Cs.

YES! We want all our players to outperform their contracts this year. We'll worry about next year next year.

[FlatearthZorro]

Oh and to put things in perspective, Dedmon got what 9 mils? Crazy FA, btw... Just crazy.

Jerry West is an animal. FRP and Mo Harkless for cap space and still room for a max FA if there was one remaining on the market... Then just tons of tradeable contracts and picks. Master class in GM'ing since taking over and dumping Blake.

[Darth Celtic]

anyone think Afam has everyone on the site on ignore and is just talking to himself? His posts make sense if he didn't read any other post on the board first.
