    The Celtics Offseason

    OKC is the one to keep an eye on... Kenrich money would fit the exception. There was some Poku speculation recently on Karalis Locked-On pod Agreed, total minutes is a sub-optimal way to look at it. Context matters. Playoff games always have 1-2 days off. A 7-8 man rotation is all that is...

    Celtics Trade Timelord, Brogdon, and picks for Jrue Holiday

    General Offseason Thread.

    If PDX shrink-wraps TimeLord until the trade deadline, they could get some assets from a contender that loses one of their BIGs during the season. His contract will make him easily matchable PDX/Cronin deserve the credit they are getting from the Dame situation. It's nice to see a small market...

    Celtics Trade Timelord, Brogdon, and picks for Jrue Holiday

    Lots of regular-season bench minutes for Hauser/Kornet (& PP) Everything we saw last year, especially from Sam tells us the C's will be more than fine.

    Celtics Trade Timelord, Brogdon, and picks for Jrue Holiday

    Brad is going to deal the Celtics' late firsts as long as it can land players that will help them contend. I expect they'll use Maine/2-ways to opportunistically develop cheap roster depth (see Hauser & Kornet). If Queta or Scrubb take the next step, dangle a multi-year, non-gtd NBA contract...

    Celtics sign C Wenyen Gabriel to a training camp deal

    Horford is talented enough to play both the 4 & the 5 at a high level, he really made 2 BIGz work. Also a healthy TimeLord, as a defensive free safety, helped create a record-setting D BUT keeping Rob intact for an NBA season was next to impossible

    Celtics sign C Wenyen Gabriel to a training camp deal

    To be fair Kabengele has played a total of 380 NBA minutes in his career. Gabriel played in 68 games and 1024 minutes for an NBA semi-finalist last season. I'd say Queta on a 2-way fills that Kabengele role (in case of emergency break the glass BIG) Just a reminder Brad picked up a depth 5 in...

    Celtics Trade Timelord, Brogdon, and picks for Jrue Holiday

    Hope you're right, but don't see him even in the TOP13 at the moment He's long but isn't physically developed, not NBA-ready for frontcourt play. His footwork is raw, NBA guards will cross him up.

    Celtics Trade Timelord, Brogdon, and picks for Jrue Holiday

    A lot of semantics with positional definitions. Brad uses Ballhandler, Wing, and Big. Just because someone is labeled a "ballhandler" doesn't mean they can't play Wing and vice versa. In fact, every one of their Top6 (JT, JB, JH, KP, DW, and AH) can play multiple roles. Positional versatility...

    Celtics Trade Timelord, Brogdon, and picks for Jrue Holiday

    Jrue is the archetypal Brad player Plays both sides of the ball & consistently posts a high positive +/- and On/Off on every team he's played on. It's also why Jaylen may eventually get moved if a haul is offered sometime in the next 2 offseasons.

    Celtics sign C Wenyen Gabriel to a training camp deal

    I actually like that guy for deep depth. Active BIG, played over 1000 minutes for the Lakers last year

    Celtics Trade Timelord, Brogdon, and picks for Jrue Holiday

    Blake Griffin come on down Beef Centers that can play aggressive D (6 fouls) and set picks on O can be found. Queta, G-League MVP, will be their 6th string Center. If they need to add during the season they still own picks. C's just added an All-Star & lockdown defender. Pat Riley is crying in...

    General Offseason Thread.

    I'm just looking forward to the start of pre-season, so a reporter can ask both Dray and Poole which one it is "Triple Single" or "Expensive backpack for 30"??? Even the pillow fights around here can't touch the pettiness of NBA drama queens ;)

    Dame Time heading to Milwaukee

    Agree, considering their locale & state tax situation they have whiffed badly with Superstars. Bron "decided" to go there and Jimmy landed on their lap for JRich. They need to turn Lowry + Herro + picks into something, like Jrue or Harden, to answer what Milwaukee & Boston have done. I know...

    The Celtics Offseason

    How many times would a surly, 6th man CP3 and Dray get into it on the court? with Curry having to play mediator. They are desperate to look clever after Bob's exit. PDX could probably turn CP3 into Kyle Lowry's carcass + a lottery-protected First

    The Celtics Offseason

    Surprised the Warriors are so low Chris Paul/Kuminga/ a distant First & pick swap for Jrue would make sense for both teams Kuminga starts. CP3 & Chauncey spend the year berating the young Blazers

    The Celtics Offseason

    Jrue has shot 3s at a 39.5% clip over the last 3 seasons, he's a much better shooter than Smart But agree that Golden State (& Miami) have the inside track on Holiday.

    The Celtics Offseason

    Yea, consolidate and add J'rue. But it's going to cost TL + Brogdon + a First (probably 2 Firsts) would mean a lot of regular season minutes for Luke, which I'm 100% comfortable with...
