Karalis: Just so people know what the Celtics are getting into on draft night (s) – The 30th overall pick is guaranteed money. When you add the tax, Boston will be spending more than $9 million on that pick (depends on what they do w/Hauser, Kornet, end of bench. Continued)

>I could be wrong, but I can virtually guarantee there’s no one at 30 worth that kind of money for an extended time. No one at 30 is cracking this rotation. The preference would be to use the 2way slots to develop a guy for a couple of seasons and then upgrade if they need to.
Cool so just fold this team now then if you are gonna completely punt on the margins going forward.
Our big man rotation is 38 year old Horford and 1 ankle Porzingis.
We have no tradable contracts and only the Bet minimum to offer any FA.
Kornet and Tillman are both FA.
Adding a solid young player to the big rotation isn’t a luxury it’s a need.
I’m down to trade back for 4 2nds again, the brad special
Of course, this spoils Wed night for us C fans. Thurs afternoon will be our time, but it will be a A-1 sunny day in the northeast.
I still think if someone falls as in Robert Williams a few years back, we throw caution or money to the wind.
bronny james at 30 do we take him for hostage?
I never understood why the tax effects a team’s own guys. You’re punishing a team for partaking in a major part of the roster building process by simply having a draft pick? Doesn’t make sense to me. In that same vein, teams are punished for drafting and developing their players well and giving them the contracts they earned. Just weird, “homegrown” players should count towards a separate cap or something to that effect.
I could legit see Brad trading this first and a second for a single future second. Just to save on tax
Karalis is always wrong so I expect to pick someone at 30
Jus for fun, Karalis = King in latvian.
If they like a player at 30 they will take him. Karalis is a goober.
Trade time.
If we do make a trade hopefully it’s into the early second round. I been watching Baylor Scheierman, Tyler Smith, Kyle Filipkowski, and Ryan Dunn highlights all week hoping one of them falls to 30.
I think it is likely they could grab an international player and stash him overseas for a couple of years.
If they’re trading back take Tristen Newton or fuck it Bronny cuz I barely know anything about this second round 🤷
Does that include a draft and stash?
Any guy they add to the rotation whether they draft at pick 30 or sign a vet to a minimum contract will cost the same amount in tax. They need to fill roster spots. The tax is not unique to the draft.
yeah at that point is an easy trade down.
Trading down was never off the menu, it’s our favorite thing to order. And we want seconds!
I’m sure some teams would prefer 30 vs 31, but I’m sure every 2nd apron team wouldn’t mind waiting a couple spots to avoid the guaranteed money
I trust what ever Brad Steven’s decided, he helped us go this far so whatever he does I trust him.
Hopefully they can trade it for a future 1st down the road.
Either pick Bronny at 30 or trade down. Paying 9mil to get Lebron sitting on the sidelines in Maine is what I want to see. /s
