NBA Draft - Trades - Free Agents

[borg]

Offseason priority for Ainge.....trade for and/or sign an affordable starting PG who isn’t a megalomaniac.
And draft a PG at 14
Let Irving walk
Find another home for Rozier
Let the offense flow through Hayward more

assume we dont keep kyrie

why not rozier? i think he excelled mostly last years playoffs, so why not ask him to do it down the line? you can't evaluate anyone on this years team, they all sucked big time, and we know they're better than that

I'd rather see it flow thru Tatum.

I know little about how the NBA works. Can someone explain to me how Ainge can get any return for Irving at this point? Isn't he a free agent when the season ends?

Sign and trade. If he wants to go to a team that doesn’t have enough cap space he could go back to the Celtics and tell them to sign and trade him to a new team with the Celtics getting players and draft picks in return.

Well clearly it seems I was wrong about them getting past this round. Not that they can't potentially turn it around but I don't see it.

I would have liked to make the finals at least. But as I said and will continue to say, no one is beating the GSW. They're just too stacked. The rockets may have it tied up 2-2 right now but GS will pull it out.

Not sure if Haywards problem is in his foot or in that 4 inch space between his ears.. he has shown some semblance of what he was late in the season, but not much lately.. he seems tentative and hesitant in his play.

Isn't 18.5 months enough to recover from a fractured tibia and dislocated ankle ?? Considering he had access to the best post op care and rehab services available, including sports psychologists..

took brady 2 years to become the same QB.......as for hayward, yes, his leg is fine now, but the season has gone on in the same manner all season long.....give him a chance to reset for next year, I think he will be fine....none of this is on him.....the celts lack a true athletic 4-5

the celts are a hot mess right now ..... with the way kyrie plays, it's not hard for the rest of the team to start standing around watching him......outside of the dumps to horford at the 3 arc, he doesn't distribute as well as one with his magical set of skills would suggest......in other words, he can't be the #1 guy on a championship contender......how many point guards can be?

Assuming the Celts lose tonight:

- Kyrie is a goner. Let him walk vs. giving him a max deal, IMO.
- Hopefully, Horford picks up his player option...I think he will at 30M/year.
- Hayward will get better than he is now, IMO. He's too good to not come back 100%.
- Tatum needs to bulk up even more...he's too skinny and doesn't take contact well...add 10 more pounds and there will be more contact & calls from the refs.
- Brown is a great player...needs to be more consistent offensively. Smart is my favorite Celtic by far and even got better from downtown this season.
- Hope Baynes picks up his player option...but I think he'll get better offers in FA. We need Baynes.
- Try to re-sign Maurice Morris...don't break the bank if we can.
- Let Rozier hit free agency.
- Ditto for Theis. It's Robert Williams' time.

After all of that....I try to make a trade with the Pelicans for AD...give them everything except Tatum/Brown/Hayward/Horford. We don't need all of our drat picks. Then pick up a PG that can start...and at least defend some taller players.....a tall order though....

I would let Irving walk...keep Rozier and also draft a PG or C at #14. Rozier does not shoot great but his turnover rate was phenominal. I would definitely get rid of Theis Baynes and (boo boo)...they all suck.

 

[captain insano]

I want Kyrie gone. more than anything else. I can't stomach him wearing a Celtics uniform.

 

[RobertWeathers]

This game is brutal

 

[Betterthanmost]

This is an inauspicious week to be leading a series. All series leading teams have lost this week. Celtics have a chance.

 

[Boston Boxer]

Kyrie has been terrible so far in Game 5. Not even close with his shots

 

[borg]

3 max money C's combined for 4-20 shooting in the 1st qtr

 

[ALP]

Kyrie sucking this game too...

Taking horrible shots, barely passing

Tatum is so damn timid, take the ball to the hoop every tome man, you’re that good you’ll score more than not

Giannis is the best big man in the league...if he’s in the key w you pass it out

 

[borg]

The Chuck 'n Suck offense is gripping

We named our guinea pig Kyrie last year ...

Changing his name to Timelord.

He's hurt all the time. He seems like a selfish jerk. Without Kyrie, he will probably leave after a year.

NOLA wants all our draft picks and young studs for a one year rental.

I don't see this going down.

Irving is in pretend-mode on defense
