    2023-2024 General NBA Season Thread

    Nice of Ainge to lick the cookie before putting it back into the jar. Why wouldn't they do this before 3/1? Hard ball over the buy-out dollars? It seems pretty standard for all the other buy-out players, so this still seems very odd.

    3/5 @ Cleveland

    Holding for the last shot made no sense, especially since this was a lesson learned by Mazulla in the Philly series. View: https://twitter.com/ChrisForsberg_/status/1655612158057541633

    Pick #38- Jordan Walsh

    Agreed, but I think it's still possible. One scenario that checks out on Sportrac's checker is Caruso for Pritchard, Brissett, and Kornet. The C's could take in Drummond using their exception in a preceding trade and make it a 3-2 swap, where the Bulls don't have to cut anyone.

    General Offseason Thread.

    Also from that article: Los Angeles even re-engaged Boston about acquiring Brogdon in recent days, sources said. If true, the clippers can fuck right off.

    Pick #38- Jordan Walsh

    It looks like he has the best standing reach of any non-big in the draft and better than Draymond or Igoudala's combine measurements.

    Thank you, Marcus

    Another Marcus moment that will stick with me was when prime all-star Paul Millsap was in a game where he puts up 45. Smart has had enough and switches onto him in the post. What ensues is Millsap's basketball soul dying inside. With Marcus, you could expect the unexpected. This trade is a...

    Game 1 vs. Philadelphia—Just Win

    They missed the call. It was a tenth of a second, but they got it wrong. Let's see if the NBA bothers to show this on the 2 minute report. Screenshots from 2 angles, red light on, ball is still in the air.

    NBA Trade Deadline Thread

    Agree with this. Probably just a proactive move because he's not in their second half plans. It looks like they are also auditioning Jamaree Bouyea with a 10 day deal, while many of their guards are banged up.

    Vonleh Traded to San Antonio

    I think he's more than under the microscope. He's a for sure goner. At minimum they'll cut him before his guarantee tomorrow and go down to 13, but that means his salary to this point counts against the luxury tax. If they can find another trade like Vonleh's, it's like he never played for the...

    Vonleh Traded to San Antonio

    Great explanation. With the tax implications, both Vonleh and Jackson's inclusion on the opening day roster only made sense because they could make trades like this before they guaranteed. Signing players that are bought-out later in the season will mean pro-rated salaries, and it's the end of...

    Al Horford - the Celtics' Resurrected Saviour of the Season

    Terrence Ross. Gallo is pretty low on this, which is no surprise. Also his face is hidden in the chart behind Ben McLemore, but looks like Theis graded pretty low on this too.

    Thanks! Just trying to wrap my head around it. The cap rules are mind throbbing at times.

    Celtics Offseason Primer

    And then you have take back salary or the receiving team needs cap space, in which case why is the Cs TPE involved? Is there a real world example of a team who used a TPE to only generate a new TPE?

    Celtics Offseason Primer

    Can someone explain how this scenario would work where you are only left with a new TPE? I thought to generate a new TPE, you need to send salary out to another team with salary cap space or another tpe.

    2022 NBA Draft: The Life of Paolo

    Sam Vecenie's latest draft notes include speculation that there will be a lot of trade movement in the 30's, with team prioritizing 2-way and draft and stash players over higher upside players. I would expect the C's to be in this boat too, but perhaps it won't be as prohibitive to trade up this...
