CELTICS 2010

listened to that pod they said something that i hadn't really thought about that 34M next year isn't really worth that much, a lot of it will be in escrow and probably won't get paid out due to revenue crunch, whereas a longer contract that pays out money 2 or 3 years from now is a lot more likely to be worth the stated value.

Celtics legend Tommy Heinsohn has died, according to multiple league sources. https://t.co/F3RTXJvMQK

The biggest homer, going home at last. RIP.

RIP, Tommy. The first Celtics game I ever saw on TV was during the last season Tommy coached. It's gonna be weird to watch them and not hear his voice.

Celtics trade Vincent Poirier to Thunder for protected second round pick https://t.co/ypIhVf3o83

damn looks like celtics are entering rebuilding mode

so that's three second round picks they've added in the past 24 hours? they're becoming the thunder of the second round!

has danny ever drafted a rotation player from the 2nd round

its not great https://www.basketball-reference.com/teams/BOS/draft.html

abdel nader is still kicking around!

i also continue to like waters, maybe he's just too small but he should be playing somewhere professionally.

etwaun moore and ryan gomes prob both qualify with ~13k minutes played each

i like waters too hes a baller

The moment we’ve all been waiting for: Jayson Tatum has agreed to a five-year, $195M designated rookie max extension worth with the Celtics, according to a source.

Aaron Nesmith on how he and Pritchard could potentially fill in after Gordon Hayward’s departure: “We don’t really know. We’ve never played in the NBA before.”

hahahaha

lol good response

waggling eyebrows

Sources: Boston and Charlotte have worked on a sign-and-trade for Gordon Hayward that would land Celtics a trade exception, but Hornets have first been trying to find a third team for Nic Batum's $27M contract to see if there's a way to avoid waiving-and-stretching his money.

sorry is that from a sourdough blog?

haay

our long regional nightmare is over

Boston has signed and traded Gordon Hayward and two future second-round picks to Charlotte for a conditional future second-round pick. Celtics also receive a trade exception.

— Shams Charania (@ShamsCharania) November 29, 2020

when that trade exception comes off the bench to drop 12 and 7 per game, ayyyyyy

lol

its not just any exception

Celtics breaking their own news again, which has been an interesting twist to this offseason. Hayward TPE will be for $30 million it appears, the largest TPE ever created. https://t.co/uXiHxlcPda

mb they can get aaron gordon

hello new friend

https://pbs.twimg.com/card_img/1333444311455854593/t2WiA-bz?format=jpg&name=medium

type of guy the celtics need "a big wing"

aaron gordon
harrison barnes
otto porter

i would hate each of them immediately but hey tell you what whatre you gonna do

they just removed my two most hated celtics so its ok

although im pretty sure i do not like tristan thompson, i am willing to approach with an open mind, he was an occasional beast with lebron getting every rebound dominating physically and so forth and is still not yet 30

celtics adding a guy like that after they got wrecked physically all playoffs is good imo

can we clone Kendrick Perkins

i think with thompson the hope has to be that getting out of cleveland results in some natural bounceback. he's not exactly what they need but he's been a great playoff player in the past so maybe they can catch some lightning in a bottle at the right time.

at the very least he shd be available when theis is getting destroyed by a very big man, best case he plays well enough to take the starting spot

otto porter is good why would you hate him immediately

those other two i get

he just seems like a passive disappointing player, hitting 3s is good tho

hes like joe ingles, quietly does all the good role player wing stuff

hes pretty much a non entity on offense besides the shooting tho

fwiw it would somewhat complicated for them to trade for him too cause although he would exactly fit into the trade exemption well ill just c&p this

When the Celtics use the full mid-level exception on Monday to formally sign Tristan Thompson to a two-year, $19 million deal, they will invoke the hard cap. That means they cannot complete transactions that would put them above the tax apron at $139 million. Not including Javonte Green’s non-guaranteed $1.5 million, the Celtics are about $22 million under the hard cap. So to use the full $28.5 million trade exception, they would need to include an additional chunk of salary to ensure they stay below that hard cap.

and the celtics dont have any guys besides theis making $5m a year so youd have to do something like

this is a great role for him, being interviewed by the local sideline reporter coming out of halftime

10-year NBA veteran Evan Turner is finalizing a deal to join the Boston Celtics as an assistant coach, sources tell @TheAthleticNBA @Stadium. Turner is expected to focus on player development.

— Shams Charania (@ShamsCharania) November 30, 2020

i had forgotten about evan turner being a weirdo who sounds like meatwad

lol hes a genuinely great interview

haha yes, perfect role for ET. I think I wrote in one of these ILH threads within the past few weeks that his self-deprecating sense of humor probably bought him an extra year or two in the league

I like Otto Porter, though he's already overpaid and would be even more so to back up J&J
