I feel Stevens never really wanted to lose him in the first place.

Well, for those of us screaming to add a "screener", they just did. But Theis is not really good enough of an outside shooter to run the Pick & Pop and not really quick enough, leaper enough for the Pick & Roll to work against the better teams.

I always though Theis would continue to develop his 3-point shooting he actually peaked in his 2nd year with us (38.8% in 2018/19).

His 3-point shooting has been downright bad the past two years, 28% and 29%.

Schroeder was in demand by contending teams, you could have gotten a real nice piece back. To give up Schroeder, PLUS Kanter to get back a below-average rotation piece with a low-ceiling like Theis is a complete waste of the value Schroder had built.

Awful trade. Celtics are worse today and worse long-term.


Out of curiosity, exactly what sort of real nice piece were you expecting to get back for a point guard with half a year left on his contract, no bird (or even early bird) rights, and was playing about as well as his previous year which got him a one-year taxpayer MLE contract?

Theis was at his best here when backing up Baynes in 2017 and 2018. This is a good move by Brad getting the Celtics a viable backup for RW3. Kanter and Bruno would be unplayable in the playoffs. He is at least a threat from mid range and at least was a decent defender as long as he wasnt covering Embiid.

I hated Theis as starter. Especially having RW coming off the bench..Tristan and Daniel Theis together was nightmare..with that said Theis is an above average backup center imo.
2 things need to go.. my lack of spell check and Joe.. :nod:

Theis is a big pickup.
He's gonna lead the 2nd unit,
and play with the starters as needed.

Familiarity matters with midseason acquisitions. I don't think it'll take Theis much time to acclimate himself esp if he'll only play 12-15 mpg off the bench.

6 JAGS and Richardson who has been playing better. A 1st rounder this year that they'd screw up anyways. The only asset they traded was the 2028 pick and even if the Celtics suck then the Spurs are a **** destination

Love that Theis is coming back, just not happy with what PBO Brad gave up for him.
