Anunoby deal done.

Knicks are gonna be tough…they’re now our little brother.

The question about the Knicks is going to be their front court.

 

[Keep Up With The Joneses]

Not that I ever thought it would be possible, but Bam has always been a player I would love to see in green.

No chance of that now. This pushes him into his 30s.

Reports: Heat to extend Adebayo on $166M deal

Miami Heat star Bam Adebayo intends to sign a three-year, $166 million extension with the Miami Heat, according to multiple reports.

I think it's fair to say Boston has some questions there as well.

We are in agreement. I hope Brad is looking at potential low cost acquisitions aka Tristan Vukcevic, who can learn and develop behind Al and Kristaps. At worst, we probably have to draft one this season.

Yup. Stevens has made it clear that Tatum gets the supermax and White gets a big raise and extension.
So there won't be any significant free agents. Not that we need em.
His plan is draft a big who can develop.
The rook will see very little playing time.
And I think a low cost big similar to what you mentioned is probably in the cards.

I fantasize that Jason Tatum cements a TRUE partnership with JB signs his extension for $1 more than JB's deal. They can't spend what they earn now . $50MM+ per year it's almost obscene. If he does that the Cs will have a little more. money for roster building or paying Sam and DWhite and Jason will cement his stamp on Celtc Culture

2nd round? RI native?

He can be taught to read and write just not in a school setting. Pretend he's blind (but get this, he's not).

 

[1960Pats]

Celtics should draft him and bury him, to the point that LeBron gets so mad he forces the Lakers to hugely overpay in a trade

I was thinking along the same lines. Draft the kid and see what the Lakers' GM (Lebron James) will give up for him.

I think you mean offensively. Athleticism and defense is his primary weakness. He is a good shooter, shades of a slightly smaller, less athletic Sam Hauser.

"All about getting better defensively." If he's going to play for the C's, he needs to get better defensively. I watched Creighton a lot and team defense is fine, it's everything else needs work.

 

[RobertWeathers]

Anunoby signed for about $42.5M a year which leaves about $15M until the Knicks are up against the 2nd apron. Maybe they can trade Randell if they sweeten the pot by adding a few 1st round picks to convince someone to take him?

Yea with Brunson, OG and Bridges there won't be enough balls to keep everyone happy in the starting 5...

Move Randall and resign Hartenstein.

I think the Knicks are too small, like Brunson. Injuries inbound.

Gotcha was confused on the phrasing.

 

[borisman]

Baylor Scheierman.....
....so are we going to call him Frodo, because he's from the Shire, man. Something's got to give because of trying to spell his name future posts.

Also, no chance Kolek drops to our 2nd round pick. I think we go for a big that will need time to develop. I would prefer Enrique Freeman, from Akron. He balls out and leaves everything on the court. I know these guys because of excessive betting on NCAAB

They had their chance last night, but The Brad Loves Wings & Despises Bigs; so...

He looks too be a better playmaker than Hauser.

 

[RobertWeathers]

Agree. They need Hart and another stretch big guy to replace Randall.

 

[RobertWeathers]

Thats not true.

 

[RobertWeathers]

Yep. We'll see but seems to be a better all-around player offensively.

Hauser's D has come a long way. That's Baylor's biggest opportunity for improvement.
