Celtics General Offseason Thread Pt 11: Kanter believe you thought of former player

I already love the spirit of Kemba and Kanter.

Man I **** love Enes. And that entire presser was firing shots IMO

Dinwiddie is on Sham Charania's 1st podcast (sounds like the **** was recorded on an iPhone. Lol) and he said that Kyrie had hinted that "New York might be fun" in December. This is when Dinwiddie started pitching him about the Nets.

Lol. This dude had the audacity to get mad at the media for asking him about his free agency plans even though he already had a foot out the door. It's like when you're a teenager, and your parents want to chat with you about drugs, but then you get fake mad about some bullsh*t like respecting your privacy, because you don't want them searching your room and finding that quarter ounce of weed stashed away.

Kyrie is in for one hell of a booing when the Nets visit. Is there a way to gamble on if he will be ''hurt" or "resting" those games? I;d say 50/50 he doesn't play a regular season game in Boston.

I can basically guarantee he won't play in Boston. He skipped all the Cleveland games except the one that was the first game after being traded. So maybe if Nets play Celtics Game 1 or if it's like Christmas and the league would fine the Nets if he sat.

Ray Allen after someone else took over the title of most hated ex-Celtic to leave in free agency...

Who's committing the first hard foul on Kyrie when he comes back to Boston? My money is on Poirier

I'm thinking about splurging on court-side (visitor side) tickets for the first Nets@Blazers game and showing up in either a Kemba or Kanter jersey and with a sign that let's him know what I think about him. I wonder if I could give that troll at the Wizards games a run for his money. :lol:

I'm guessing all of the local beat writers are getting their knives ready. These guys all bit their tongues and didn't report a lot of things all year because they didnt want to jeopardize Boston's chances of retaining him....but now that he's gone, and with this info coming out that he really had no plans of staying, he is going to get sliced up.

You're right though - he will avoid playing in Boston, because his fragile ego can't handle the boos. I think part of the reason he hasn't held a press conference with the Nets is because his team still hasn't formulated an excuse as to why he left Boston while saving face.

So 14 players under contract, plus 2 2way deals and an Exhibit 10 deal. It seems Danny has done all his homework. I guess it's time for holidays, right?

Jaylen Brown.

Wanamaker signing now official too: https://www.nba.com/celtics/news/pressrelease/celtics-re-sign-daniel-theis-brad-wanamaker

That completes our 14-man roster. Not sure if the Strus two-way signing has been made official. I know the Waters one is. Tacko likely headed to training camp and decision on his status will be made during pre-season.

Doesn’t sound like a player the Celtics are trying to get rid of this off-season

And this is after you demand a trade to a new team and tell them, in October, unprompted, that you plan to stay.

As a fan, I don’t even hate Kyrie- he’s not even worth it - I just have no respect for him and think he’s an insincere jackass.

One trade I still might do if Winslow goes to OKC:

Jaylen/Ojeleye for Winslow, OKC’s 2021 1st with pick swaps, 2023 top 5 protected OKC 1st.

First question to Enes at the press conference: why did you pick number 11?

Enes: I just want to be the reason no one else wears this number (everyone laughs)

Love this guy already

I try to be positive and I honestly didn't think he was out until reload said it, but I lived in NYC at the time, where there were local reporters saying every day that he was out. I should've known they were right.

No thank you. Jaylen Brown is going to have a big year and if he does the Celtics will have no issues paying him.
