Blow Up Your Project, Then Lose All Your Assets: Official 2020-21 Boston Celtics thread

[Controversy]

And who will they sign with that $35 mil?

They'll only sign role players. No top 5 healthy FA is signing with them.

If anything, they should be making a play for Tobias Harris.

Still like Brooklyn better now with no Kyrie or Horford

 

[Controversy]

Okay and Boston has $35 million in cap space too

There roster is far from finished and even still they have

Smart
Brown
Tatum
Hayward

Timelord
Semi
Yabu
Romeo
Grant Williams
Carson Edwards
Water

That’s a younger squad than Brooklyn too

That bench is cheeks



Unless Hayward returns to Utah form, Celts are a 5-7 seed next season.

Brooklyn could jump into a top 4 seed depending on where Kawhi signs

There are at least 3 more starters or rotation guys being added to that

 

[Miggs]

I really hope Ainge isn’t clearing cap space just to throw the max at Vucevic

Not after one all-star season in a contract year at 29 where he got punked in the playoffs

Vucci is in the Middleton category ONE off all star you dont want to get stuck paying for...Both got exposed under pressure...

Both can have huge nights in january but i wouldnt want to be the team paying either 4/140,let orlando and milwaukee do it...

 

[Kang Deezy]

The more I think about it, the more I think we are gonna go after multiple guys that fit the team, the culture, as opposed to blowing all the money on one person.

So under contract we will have

Smart
Jaylen
Hayward
Tatum

most likely all will be starters. If they get a free agent, it’ll most likely be a center, pg, or power forward. I’d have to think Hayward would be the one most likely going to the bench in a super sub role trying to get back to health and making a run at 6th of the year (if he can get back to Utah Gordon).

I’ve heard Hayward been sleeping at the Celtics training facility, so it’s at least a positive that dude is angry and motivated and wants to get back to what he was

That also leaves under contract

Time lord
Semi
Yabu

And then the rookies

Edwards
Williams
Romeo

And grant waters as a potential signee, or two way guy

Max Strauss as a two way guy

Tacko summer league signee with option to translates into two way or roster

In the next post I’ll list some potential mid tier free agency signing guys

 

[Kang Deezy]

POINT GUARD

We have;
Smart
Edwards
Water

FREE AGENTS
Tier 1
Russell
Kemba

Tier 2
Beverly
Rubio
Collison

Tier 3
Bring back Rozier

Personally, I’d like to go back to the days where we had a point guard who prioritized creating for others over getting his own shot for a change

 

[Kang Deezy]

SHOOTING GUARD

We have Jaylen brown
Romeo Langford

Smart can play shooting guard too depending on how roster works out

Danny Green
Terrence Ross
JJ Reddikk
Jeremy Lamb were some intriguing free agent options.

 

[Kang Deezy]

Small forward I don’t really care about. Between Tatum brown Hayward and semi, strong not a position we desperately need to fill.

 

[Kang Deezy]

Power forward.

We have

Grant Williams and yabu

Some intriguing options are

Jabari Parker
Taj Gibson
Bobby Portia
Al farrooq amino
Bringing back Marcus Morris
Paul millsap
Nikola mirotic
Thaddeus young
Julius Randle
Tobias Harris
Kevin looney

Bunch of good options here.

 

[Kang Deezy]

Center

We have the time lord

Some options

Brook Lopez
Willie Cayley Stein
Enes kanter
Deandre Jordan
Jonas valanciunas
Vucevic

What y’all think?

 

[UpAndComing]

Meaning, the two will be entering the start of their primes while these kids are still developing (if they can even make it out the G-League).

These is absolutely no reason to tie up cap space in 3 mid to late 1st-round picks.

I would like them to keep Langford. Everyone else can leave

 

[SchoolboyC]

@KD2222

My hope is to get Beverley & Dedmon at PG/C but I think we’re gonna have a lot of competition.

And unfortunately I think Ainge still believes in Rozier

 

[Dwight Howard]

The more I think about it, the more I think we are gonna go after multiple guys that fit the team, the culture, as opposed to blowing all the money on one person.

So under contract we will have

As if yall have a choice. Wasnt nobody signing there ...

 

[factnotopinion]

How about Thomas Bryant at center. Young, legit center height and can be had for about 10mill I think. And then a power forward like Randle?

 

[Kang Deezy]

Says the fan of the team who has had the worst record in the league the last 6 years.

Not like we haven’t signed top free agents over the last couple years.

Go away.
