stashing assets for the 2023 nba offseason

most likely celtics just make a couple more small to mid moves resign jaylen and call it a day since they already made a big trade that could move the needle

garland for jaylen is really interesting tho would jaylen agree to that who knows

boston would need more size at guard if they did that but that could prob be addressed

yeah dont have a good sense of what jaylen wants hes pretty reticent, feel like him and mitchell might be friends tho

celtics need to keep jaylen and teach him how to dribble

before he signs the contract make him promise to practice dribbling

tbf his handle is pretty good when hes not playing the heat in the ecf

the only problem is hes often playing the heat in the ecf

you know what they say, “one must dribble good when playing the heat in the eastern conference finals”

tbf his handle is pretty good when hes not playing the heat in the ecf

or warriors in the finals

i think being that good at nba basketball while only being able to dribble w/ one hand is actually more impressive than just being a great dribbler w/ both hands

jaylen was really good in the warriors series!

the issue tbf isnt even with his handle it has more to do with poor court awareness

yeah he was trying to drive into traffic and force something too much which is what exposed his weak handle

i dont think his handle is even week, i mean he gets to the rim pretty good

before he signs the contract make him promise to practice dribbling

nah you put it *in* the contract that he has to practice dribbling, like the (terrible) kyler murray thing

lol

please review tape and stop playing video games until 4am we beg of you

Restricted free agent F Grant Williams is finalizing a four-year, $53 million sign-and-trade agreement to land with the Dallas Mavericks, sources tell ESPN.

whoaaaaaa depending on what dallas trades, this is a good move for them

Looks like three 2nds

yeah nice pickup will miss grant too bad celtics couldnt keep him

Sources: The Dallas Mavericks, San Antonio Spurs and Boston Celtics are finalizing a three-team trade:

- Mavs: Grant Williams
- Spurs: Reggie Bullock and an unprotected Dallas pick swap in 2030
- Celtics: Multiple second-round picks pic.twitter.com/7Bi6Dykydf

spurs get bullock, im stoked, love that guy. unprotected pick swap with dallas in 2030 could be incredible.

a second round pick swap lol cmon whatre we doing here

According to a league source, the Celtics will get two second-round picks and a 2025 second-round pick swap in the Grant Williams deal.

feel like there’s something similar to the westbrook/lakers thing happening with the mavs where they entered into a brief psychosis defined by letting brunson walk and acquiring kyrie & have now snapped back into making otherwise pretty agreeable low risk moves to rebuild their roster. grant is like the perfect player for them basically

chets back baby

idk what his ceiling is but i just don’t see how he isn’t good. tall, skilled, sees the floor, can shoot, protects the rim. he prob won’t ever need to be any better than their third or fourth best offensive player. just feel like he’s myles turner at worst w/ the potential to be much better. maybe he gets completely tossed around when he’s on the floor with grown NBA players but i don’t see a lot of risk with him honestly

chet should be good, as should wemby aka supersized chêt

chets a true baller if hes not derailed by injuries think hes a perennial all star easy

menace

I forgot how psyched I was for Chet last year let’s do this

Are teams valuing 2nd round picks now? I always thought that they're mostly worthless but getting Grant Williams for 3 of them kind of contradicts that.

celtics werent going to resign him because of the luxury tax but they threatened to match dallas offer anyway so its more of a paying them to go away type situation than a real trade

but theyre def worth... something, unclear what, they do trade hands a lot

i'd rather have three lottery tickets than none is prob about the logic here

there is a second-round pick exception in the new cba that makes them easier to sign so i think there is a thought that they're more valuable due to that

nikola jokic the two time mvp and current world champ was a second round pick after all

allegedly

feel like shams-woj should leave these little signings to the local writers no but fans of the team care but its prob part of their quid pro quo with agents

Free agent guard AJ Green has agreed to a multi-year contract with the Milwaukee Bucks, with the first year fully guaranteed, sources tell @TheAthletic @Stadium. Agent Matt Bollero of ProMondo Sports negotiated the contract.
