Spoiler: no one wants 5’11 PGs with bum knees that cant defend are are owed like 40M a year.

A guy who can score like Kemba are always in demand. He'll find a home

How bad do you want John Wall or Russell Westbrook?

Kemba for Wall? I'd do that in a minute depending on the contract length. Wall would be a great PG for this team. Run the ball up, distribute, drive, make the outside shots. He'd be a nice short term addition. And I'll admit to being a little based about Wall having watched him here for so many years

Idk what to do about this team.

They have a personnel problem AND an attitude problem. They play so lethargic and lazy. It's impossible to watch. Celtics games aren't fun anymore. It's brutal basketball.

I'm usually a big Brad defender, but I'm starting to wonder if both him and Ainge need to go. Bring in Zarren and give Rondo a coaching contract?

Idk, what a mess.

No surprise. Would Lavar approve of Boston?

I thought LaVar had finally learned to shut the **** up.

In terms of coaches to replace Brad, my choice would be James Posey.

They're from LA? Highly unlikely unless we get fellow LA native Paul Pierce involved in recruiting him

We don't need Bamba with Rob. . Gordon might be decent in the right situation.

Celtics don’t need Bamba because they have Mr. 25 minutes a night RW3. Good one!

Mo Busta avgs 10 mins a game and 5 and 4. LOL Rob is already better than he'll ever be.

**** the magic and **** the kings....12 months ago Barnes was one of the worst contracts in the league - don’t make any of these **** deals. Play time lord, play Pritchard, play Langford whenever (if) he comes back healthy- not Teague. Pump up our guys rather do that then get penetrated by these fools.

The Celtics fanbases isn't stupid. Obviously they're playing bad ball. They also have G-Leaguers and guys who shouldn't even be in the league taking up 2/3 of the roster. That doesn't and hasn't gone unnoticed.

I said in the offseason this was the beginning of the end for Ainge if this team didn't perform. If next season is anything like this, the media won't be protecting Ainge any longer. They won't have a choice. Ainge's job is on the hot seat whether Wyc wants to acknowledge it or not.

LOL get real man. Ainge is fine. He's delivered two All-Star wings under the age of 25. 3 of 4 ECF. One of the most promising young bigs in the League with the 27th pick. Besides, its not like this is the final draft of the rebuild. Have plenty more moves

Take off the emerald glasses my friend. How much bad basketball can you stand? The most cringeworthy performance I've witnessed in my life was the Boston Ballet trying to perform the nutcracker with dancers who couldn't stand on their toes. But last night's performance in Cleveland was a close second, particularly the first half and the last 2-3 minutes.

I've been on this board since 2003. I've seen far better and far worse. Can't live and die on every game, or every season. Look at the pieces. Is the foundation there? Are there opportunities available now? Is it worth making big moves now or should we wait? Lots of factors in play.

No one is saying one is better than the other. Just saying there is definitely room for both

We need Rob and another guy. The most obvious other guy is just a retained Theis. Nerlens Noel is probably the most Rob-like guy out there who would be easily attainable. But Bamba could fit as well.

Andrew McCeltic · Post #1892 » by **Andrew McCeltic** » Thu Mar 18, 2021 10:48 pm

5 and 4 in 10 minutes a game is like 17 and 14 per 36

Nerlens Noel is one of the worst offensive players in the NBA. Pass

Look if they're willing to give away a guy they drafted 6 overall a few years ago sure we'll take him. Don't think that's in their plans

Andrew McCeltic · Post #1895 » by **Andrew McCeltic** » Thu Mar 18, 2021 10:58 pm

Orlando has developed Fultz and Isaac relatively well, so some of the blame may go to Bamba.. I'm sure he still has fans around the league.

Fencer reregistered · Post #1896 » by **Fencer reregistered** » Thu Mar 18, 2021 10:59 pm

Wanamaker has fallen out of the rotation in Golden State. I'm sure they'd be happy to dump him.

Andrew McCeltic · Post #1897 » by **Andrew McCeltic** » Thu Mar 18, 2021 11:00 pm

We need to make some deals just to shake up the locker room and make it look like the front office is trying..

Tristan Thompson to Detroit for Mason Plumlee
Lonzo Ball, if you can get him - otherwise, deal Theis to NYK for Ntilikina
Nesmith or a 1st for Larry Nance, Jr.

TommyForever · Post #1898 » by **TommyForever** » Thu Mar 18, 2021 11:01 pm

Adding Lonzo to Jays, Smart, Rob core would be quite pimp.

I’m ok with Lonzo, honestly. I’m over the scoring PG experiences of Kyrie and Kemba. This team needs a real floor general and to play Rob. Obviously lots more but it’s a start
