Good move for Celts, they suck at rebounding

Tristan is signed to Klutch? Wow that’s nuts but good fit for the Celtics. Wonder if they still go after Giles

Wow. Nice pickup. Was hoping for Baynes to come back but this TT definitely helps off the bench.

Good move - surprised Ainge signed a klutch client

Edit: bad deal, full MLE? Rich Paul killing it

This **** terrorized the Celtics over the years. Good signing. I am surprised a Lebron James player signed with the Celtics though. Is there something wrong with his health? :)

He'd be a good minimum level or taxpayer MLE signing, but full MLE for him is a waste. Guy doesn't do anything at a high level except rebounding. His defensive metrics blow, and his offensive efficiency is awful for a center.

I guess the Vets Min was too little for him.

So Serge is down to MLE with Clippers, Minimum with Nets and big pay day with Raptors?
