Training Camp Thread, 2019-20 -- Strus, Gates & Maten Waived

[Bill Lumbergh]

Of all the sort of fringe guys trying to make our roster, I like Bryce Brown the best, because he can really shoot.

I like Tacko, because tall.

I like Javonte Green the best because he was great in SL and is explosive. I hope it’s Tacko- really rooting for him....but honestly think Green is the best. I also hope Max Strus is a diamond in the rough.

we have 5 green's on the roster better than green. Smart/Jaylen/Tatum/Hayward/Langford. We have no Tacko.

What if team is better playing 5 green’s and no C? What if Kanter, Poirier, Williams, Theis and Grant are all better options at 5? What if Tacko is a massive liability on the court in preseason? But I want to believe in him because he has brought nothing but good vibes to team since day 1.

if you expect the 15th man on the roster to sway the team either way this year, then you expect us to be terrible. Green vs Tacko. Neither one will contribute to winning games this year. Tacko will put fans in the seats for the red claws and make people show up to charity events just to see him all the while having a slightly better chance to make the rotation in 3-4 years from now than green.

Yes, Tacko is easy to like, consequently easy to root for. I would like to see him make the team, but only if he can show that he belongs. We have heard some encouraging things, and he does seem to have a willingness to work on improving his game. He's smart, and he's tall! So, let's see if he can bring enough to stick.

From a Business Standpoint, definitely bring Tacko onto the Regular Team.
Or at least, a Two-Way. He lit it up this whole Summer. The Kid is a Phenom.

And he certainly has a high ceiling.

[Celtics_History_Lesson]

Those "fireworks" you were promised?





One of these Mikki Moore thin centers?

50% on free throws, 60% from the field?

John Bohannon, not interested in that.

If he was Bo Hannon, might make the roster and contribute.




Insane front office, signing 22 people for 20 spots.

John Bohannon isn't a 6-6 shooting guard who can't shoot, so that is good news, but he weighs less than all those 6-6 shooting guards who can't shoot.

Smitty apparently says this is just a move to help the Claws: "Per Smith, the contract is designed to set Bohannon up for another season with the Red Claws."

Yeah. I can see that. Maybe the Red Claws can win it, one of these years.

Gord doesn't have a belly this year. I'm excited.

So Kanter is already in his usual mid-season form?

[Fencer reregistered]

I think Hayward will be aggressive this season, because it's so obviously the right approach for him. He's in a contract year. The possibility of leaving even aside, his teammates don't know how much confidence to have in him. The coach who believed in him has suffered somewhat for doing so. It's time for Hayward to cut loose.

Gordon looks shredded in that pic.

I think it's time for the return of Gordon Jackedward

[Shak_Celts]

Okay, I’ll be the first sexist comment in this thread (understood privilege), Strus is a beautiful dude! Very handsome! It caught me off guard because he was up close this time. I guess pretty boy Hayward is getting competition!
