Isaiah 41:10 - Al Will Strengthen You and Help You: Official 2016-17 Boston Celtics Season Thread

Vucevic would be a good get depending on the cost but idk if he's a diff maker in the playoffs

Vicci Mane would be a good fit next to Al

I think so as well. It would be a smart, crafty move by Ainge.

 

[Kang Deezy]

Be glad we are not the Magic, guys. Remember it could always be worse.

That team makes no sense. They have the pieces to make moves and make a competitive team, their roster construction makes zero sense.

I'd be down with trading for him. Can't imagine it'd Cost a lot. We wouldn't have to sacrifice any key long term assets

 

[Kang Deezy]

If we trade for vucevic then it's unlikely we go after a max guy and the team isn't targeting depth.

 

[William F. Russell]

The Bucks (21-24) come in having lost two in a row and seven of eight.

But in the last eight games, Antetokounmpo has delivered All-Star caliber numbers across the stat sheet: 24.5 points, 9.1 rebounds, 4.8 assists, 2.0 blocks and 1.8 steals.

While he is indeed the leader of a team whose greatest strength is their collective length, this team has a very limited supply of top-flight shooters.

And one of the best of the bunch, Khris Middleton, has been out all season following a hamstring tear shortly before the season was about to start.

There’s a chance that he’ll be back before the All-Star break.

But in the meantime, the Celtics will try to replicate the success they’ve had the past couple of games which has in part been fueled by good ball movement.

I read we can only afford a max guy or KO

Horfords contract is looking terrible

 

[William F. Russell]

What could and would Carmelo Anthony achieve playing for Brad Stevens? Or more precisely, what wizardry would Stevens work to get the most – which is a still a heck of a lot – out of Anthony, a born scorer with occasional Bernard King-in-‘84 tendencies who, for all of his flaws, has spent his life enhancing his offensive gifts with hard work?

Horfords contract is looking terrible

Because of ko being restricted and us having his rights, we will be able to spend all our money on one free agent and then pay Kelly even if we go over the cap.

I assume Johnson jerebko young Mickey and young are replaced with max guy, whoever we draft with the Brooklyn pick, along with Nader guershon and zizic who will all be on dirt cheap contracts.

Considering the draft is so point guard heavy, it really seems like one of Thomas, Bradley, or smart is gone next year

Crowder will most likely be our James posey off the bench next year and will still get heavy minutes

 

[Kang Deezy]

And for the record (again) I keep smart and trade Bradley if I'm Danny. You can extend smart in October and it'll probably end up being a below market contract.

Roll with Thomas, smart, ball/fultz and rozier next season

Is Larry Sanders really coming to the team?

Is Larry Sanders really coming to the team?

Maybe not.

 

[Kang Deezy]

Is Larry Sanders really coming to the team?

He's probably in the roladex to call if we do some sort of 2 for 1 or 3 for 1 deal and open up roster spots.

 

[UpAndComing]

Maybe not.

Aw damn, just let him get into shape first, Celtics really need another big

 

[William F. Russell]

Crowder's off to a nice start
