I know of loads of celtics fans that were very big on Boston Jr and Duke. And they both show as legit players.

No chance to shine in Boston anyway. It's all about the Jays on the Celtics. Stand in the corner and wait for a pass. Catch-and-shoot. Drive closeouts. Dunno how many Cs role players have gotten a chance to attempt more than 8 shots in a game. I imagine not that many. Not allowed to do much else.

Cs would never. Jays would rather drive that 1-on-3 or pullup from 3.

Might be a good idea to put this practice on hold. Or give the fans clean jerseys. PatBev just entered H&S protocols.

Not gonna lie. This hurts a bit. But we chose "win-now" mode when our young stars aren't ready to win yet.

This is honestly what the NBA needs to do.

Shut it down till the Christmas day at the least. Perhaps the new year.

I'm honestly not sure how much of the Kemba trade was "win now" vs how much was "Horford costs 8 million less per year, lets save some money."

Would've been awesome if he fell to us in the 2020 draft...he would've been a perfect fit next to the Jays.

If Haliburton is so good, maybe the Kings would trade Fox to the Celts.

Ah yes the score first, shoot second, pass third, play defense last point guard. I thought we were done with that experiment around the Jays. Career wise, Fox has the same percentage from three point range (on lower volume) and a lower free throw percentage than Marcus Smart. He can't shoot.

He's exclusively a 1 with very little switchability so he won't fit Ime's defensive scheme. For that matter he hasn't fit any defensive scheme. Last year's Kings were the worst defense in NBA history and they were even worst with him on the floor. Per Cleaning the Glass, the Kings are 11 points per possession better on defense when Fox isn't in the game this year. That's gross.

In his career he has exactly one year when he had a positive on/off (or net rating for that matter) and hasn't even been close to neutral the other years. He doesn't contribute to winning. He allegedly came in 15 pounds overweight this season. He'll make 163 millions over the next five years. How many picks are the Kings adding so that we take on that contract ?

Kemba with 41/5/4 at the end of the third, may drop 50.
