Why would we want PG? He's going to be a rental at best. I wouldn't give up shyt for him

I was shook about that when i saw woj's tweet

I hope getting tatum isnt a wiggins deal where we ship him out after a few weeks

Well, the package would be a salary dump. Bradley would be included most likely. Any valuable pick would be heavily protected. The hope is you sign a max FA, add PG and beat the Cavs in the ECF. End game is PG decides to stay. It's a gamble.

 

[NkrumahWasRight Is Wrong]

Wouldn't mind trading down for Tatum, even though that isn't popular or at all conventional

Said it in April. Got no daps.

So the Celtics pretty much think Taytum>>>>>Butler

 

[Listen]

Maybe the PG rental idea is short sighted, but imagine IT, Bradley, PG, Blake Griffin and Al Hortford......with some smattering of Smart/Crowder/Jaylen/Tatum still on the bench.

You're ignorant ass is gonna ignore the assets it would take to grab Butler? Mind you, a deal that would set the C's back and not beat the Cavs? Typical.

Cap won't allow that.

That would be crazy. It's not a gamble, he is GOING to LA regardless of what happens this year. He's already made up his mind and did so a while ago. You don't give up Bradley for a year of PG. Stupid move.

You got butler for two years, Tatum is under control for at least 5 and probably close to 8 or 9

But what if he is Rashad Mccants or Derrick Williams

Then he'll be gone after 3 years and Ainge will look like a fool.

 

[SchoolboyC]

Not really excited about Tatum, but I'm not upset either. With Jackson not working out and being so similar to Brown, Tatum seemed like the safe pick. Ojeleye at 37 seems like a steal, but I fear this could be a similar situation to Demetrius Jackson. I.e. depth at the position makes him redundant on the roster.

Overall though, of the rookies I'm still most excited to see Zizic play and am just looking forward to summer league

 

[JarrodG]

Summer league going to be lit.

 

[Adebisi_Said]

Are the Celtics playing in the Orlando Summer League?
