No, no….HELL no.
I can see making one more move. You've got Tillman and Boucher. Both not really playing. Maybe we move those guys for another guard.
KP dissapeared in 2 playoff runs…remember that
Beantown
Heist. Remains to be seen. Another quality good player with length and proven scorer traded. After all that Boston needs a shooting guard forward that come off the bench that come in and score. The younger guys lm not confident they can contribute when playoff starts because the game slows down in the playoffs. Pritchard, Hauser and Scheirman needs to score and step up big time. If Tautum doesn't come back they need another scorer now
I love it
Good move. We get a guy that adds to the starting Center role with consistency in points and rebounds, low injury risk although 35 and we get under the 1st apron.
A heist for sure – but not for the Celtics.
This is a silly move, I think. Well, they will save money.
This is a bonehead trade. Boston was on the road to a championship and with that trade they are done. Put a fork in it.
Gonna miss Simmons hes fun as hell to watch out there when hes cookin. Dudes a bucket. Vuc brings us some needed depth at the 4/5. Him n Queta are a couple double double guys w different skillsets. Vuc can play the perimeter offensively so theyll prob be able to play some double big lineups depending on matchups.
Garzas been great but I doubt hed of been in the rotation much in the playoffs, simmons too to a lesser extent. Wevalready got one small guard in Pritchard wholl be tough to hide, having another would make things more difficult. Well see what happens. Maybe Brads got another trick or two up his sleeve….I was hoping to land Claxton but Vuc will have to do for now
STUPID TRADE YOU NEED GUARDS THREE CENTERS
Nobody saw coming… Except everyone.
This was a stupid move. Stop saying bs like it was a heist for the celtics. We gave up a 6th man of the year candidate for a dude that 10 years older, sucks on defense, is not a lob threat and he was averaging the same amount of points per game as simon and you gave up a better second round pick just to save 6 million dollar for the rest of this year. Dumb dumb dumb move brad stevens
Nikola is 35, cant jump, doesnt defend or protect the rim, hes bad in P&R.. It was money saving move that puts us under first apron . Hes cheaper then Simons 7mill or so.. Hes also on expiring contract… Now considering were 2. in east, just making book keeping move might not be popular.
Simon's is a good player off the bench but they did get an all star big man. He can score and hit the boards.
good deal if we resign him for 3yrs/30m(Vucevic)!!!!!
If jjj went to jazz why we aint . Get Kessler
Vuc is not good man….This only makes sense if we are making another trade.
no subscribe button
i woulda rather got rid of Hauser than Simmons
vuc is horford 2.0 minus the great defense
This is crazy i loved simmons bad trade
Watch him get even better on the Celtics. Coach Joe has a way of bringing out the best in players. Look at how well we’ve developed other players
Making room for Tatum’s return.
If Tatum isn't coming back, hate it.
A heist is exaggerating big time he plays 0 defense and can disappear a lot. I've watched damn near every one of his games we were glad that he's finally gone. Doesnt look like we got much for him though
As a Celtics fan, I'm pleasantly surprised we keep getting away with deals like these. Not sure how Brad Stevens continues to pull it off, but hats off to him!
i protest the trade
If it’s just the two players involved then I hate this trade. But I’ll wait and see what more we do
Brad stevens did Simons dirty idiot GM
This is far from a HEIST, as you put it, Simmons can light it up from 3 land and was on his way to 6th man of the year. What we got is good, but he is 35 years old, yes we need a big man, and he will help, but 35 years old, far from a steal.
I'm a bit, just a teeny bit disappointed, though I agree that Vucevic will add some depth to the Celtics front court and he can shoot some threes too. But I hope Queta will retain his starting status. And I think XTillman and C.Boucher plus 1 2nd round pick would have been enough to trade Vucevic but I guess Boston need to flush out some money in order to ease that tax payment.
Vooch is clutch
