That Pacers team is going to be scary next year. Hali, Dybantsa, Pascal, Zubac
The new owners are cheap ass bums
High Henry finkle
Cj mcalum
Lonzo Ball makes the most sense for the Celtics to pick up. Really defender and ball handler. Also a good passer.
Not Thomas pls.. dude has talent but is a real headcase..plus I don’t think his attitude bodes well under Mazzulla
cam thomas. yuck. diva ballhog. given boston's luxury tax constraints, Brad's gonna go with promoting shulga, tonje or someone else from maine/gleague to take advantage of the lower prorated amount of rookie minimums.
for context, we are 800k below the tax line and need to divide that between 2 players. prorated rookie minimums cost 400k or less. amari got 400k from us after he got converted. prorated vet mins are gonna cost 800K or more.
Lonzo can barely stand up. Kris can barely stand up. Cam can barely shoot. Gabe is marginal. Demar? …uh…uh.
GET CAM THOMAS. DEFENSE CAN BE TAUGHT AND IS PERFECTED BY HARD WORK.. OFFENSE AND SHOOTING IS A GIFT FROM GOD. AND HE ALREADY HAS THAT, JOE M. WILL TEACH HIM D. IVE WATCHED MANY NETS GAMES AND I KNOW THEY ASKED HIM TO DO TO MUCH/EVERYTHING EVERY NIGHT BECAUSE THAT TEAM IS SO BAD AND IT WORE HIM OUT AT THE END OF GAMES. BUT IN BOSTON HE WILL NOT HAVE THAT PROBLEM BECAUSE HE WILL BE SURROUNDED BY GREAT PLAYERS. SO LETS GO GET HIM.
Vincent or middleton imo
Too bad they don't have #1 pick locked lol we will see 😂
With the recent trades of minott & tillman I really think we need to get a defensive minded player over here to come off the bench like….
J.Mcdaniels
Naz Reid
D.Lively
Gafford
D.Sharp
Salary dump. They did pick up a big man vucevic who’s a good player. They’re better.
bro…middleton, ball, vincent? none of them are better than minott or tillman. hard pass haha.
Let's get Cam Thomas
I think Vincent & Middleton would be excellent pick ups that could really help this team in a limited role
What about max shulga and Ron Harper Jr?
I take Middleton we need size
CP3
i will love to see Demar Derozan come to the celtics
Random but what about ben Simmons he could play all pistons on the court besides maybe shooting guard but we have Baylor so we would be fine.
If Tatum comes back this Year The only guy on this list that would even be useful is Lonzo Ball. We wouldnt need More shooting or any guy thats going to Hold the ball besides White,Brown,And Tatum ….Or Pritch off the bench. Lonzo is a pure passer and would get the ball to where it needs to be. and he wouldnt be a BBig liability on D.
I vote for came Thomas
