Celtics reportedly interested in Kelly Olynyk, Andre Drummond and Delon Wright at trade deadline

Would you like to see the Celtics do anything and if yes what who would you like to see or at least what positionally what would you like them to Target I think a big I I I think I would still like a big in in the uh event that

Maybe you know someone’s not healthy all the way through um you know even even Luke cornet you know if he’s dealing with something but to me on that list Kelly oen almost makes the most sense as someone who could probably spell Al Horford especially down the stretch

There if you’re looking to give Al some Knights off I think he could probably move into that role somewhat seamlessly Gary I like Kelly oen there was a Kelly oen experience when he was here too it was the O Kelly when he made a good play and then a not so good play

But I think his salary makes it a little bit more difficult I think he’s 11 million a year so that would mean pton Pritchard and then bench guys so you are you willing to give up pton unless Kelly is bought out I think more feasible is dlon Wright and Andre Drummond I like

Andre Drummond I think he has never been in this real winning situation he’ll eat up space he’ll get rebounds he’ll get to the free throw line he’ll play with an edge to him now they have kada but K’s on a two-way deal so he can’t he would

Not be eligible for a playoff roster if out of those three I would say Andre Drummond because he just brings a little bit more toughness and maybe a little bit less of the Luke cornette experience yeah and he’s only making like what not even three and a half million a year

Right yeah you would come cheap I was by the way shocked to to realize that Andre drumond is younger than Kelly oen at this point but like a couple of years I mean he’s I think he’s been in the league longer but yeah it’s I’d be okay

With that I don’t I don’t want to see him at the free throw line much though say are either of you worried that you that that by bringing somebody in you could disrupt the chemistry of this team and what they have because listen I know it’s only what we see on social media

And sort of like out you know out in public but it seems like it is a group that has meshed well together and and kind of knows each other and knows which buttons to push yeah this team is very close um there are no bad guys in the

The locker room and there no selfish guys in the locker room there are no guys who are saying like I need more minutes of course there’s guys who want to play more but I think there’s guys you know the Lamar Stevens and OA breto understand that they could be part of a

Championship experience here and they know that they’re in something special so I do think that Brad Stevens over the years has been very careful about who I bring in and how do I alter the chemistry of this team so I do think he talks to jayen Brown I do think he talks

To Jason Tatum and Al Horford And even Chris dson Drew holiday what do you think of a on Dre Drummond what’s your experience been like with him and and I think whoever they bring in they’re going to have a conversation and go they’re going to be nights you don’t

Play and we don’t need you at the end of the bench pouting we need you like a Blake Griffin was last year where Blake knew probably his last year you know his final miles as as an NBA player but he was a great teammate a great locker room guy and that’s what they

Need
