Doesnt matter

I could see Mudiay on that team

NBA Radio (Sirrius) guys this morning were KILLING Hornets.

I disagreed.  180 mil is a lot.  Brendan Haywood was saying Hornets OWE VWalker, since he was previously UNDERpaid so much (6th highest on team, behind guys like Zeller)

No makeup pay in this league - and I stand by "not everyone should be maxed".

Wiz did very well off the Lakers. Wagner, Bonga, and a 2nd round pick for cash.

Polling has Al Horford 50% to Dallas

Maybe our Celt friends can tell us why he and Kyrie are so hellbent to get outa Bahstun.

Al is kind of a mystery. I suspect $$ and years is the reason. The story, just a few weeks ago, was Al would opt out of his $31M deal, and sign a 3/85 type deal with the Celts, trading $$ for more guaranteed years. Apparently in the interim Al found his value higher like the rumored 4/112 offer (Dalas?) and the Celts didn't want to go there.

I liked Al-he will be missed.

Kyrie, as good as he can be, spit the bit, was too mercurial, and was not the leader he thought he was.

He was more asshole than alpha.

Earlier this year I posed the rhetorical question, where will KI be happy? It was either Lester or Bo who answered, KI will never be happy.

Kemba appears a decent KI replacement and probably a better fit.

The real loss is Al.

Lakers situation

https://bleacherreport.com/articles/2843163-what-can-la-lakers-do-now-with-newfound-max-cap-space?utm_source=cnn.com&utm_campaign=editorial&utm_medium=referral

Scroll all the way down and there is a nice list of talent - options for LA - but also applicable to us

Names that are interesting are Seth Curry, Nicola Vucevic, Nerlens Noel, Corey Joseph and Al Horford.

Statistically - other than games played - Irving was an exceptional Celtic

Bettered his career shooting percentages across the board.

Shot poorly in playoffs, was not media savvy and thus was the perfect scapegoat for Danny and Brad.

[bodiddley]

Didn't make anyone better.
Complained about the young guys.
Moped.
Dispirited the whole team.

but his numbers looked good ...

Lies, damn lies and statistics.

He wanted a team to lead to buoy his insecurity over the Celts almost winning the East without him. But instead he was a prima dona finger-pointing blame the other guy ahole.

there were far too many sets where he'd handle the ball for 20 seconds while 4 guys watched the KI handle show.

it made for interesting stats, maybe great fantasy results, but bad team basketball.

He deserves a big slug of blame for the shit-show that was last year.

Its laughable to suggest he was an excpetional Celtic.

He wasn't close to that.

Is Jaylen Brown now a failed pick?

If Celts warts were so evident, why did they not trade Horford?

Answer:  They WEREN'T evident - since Brown, Rozier, Tatum and playing Horford so much at center were overrated aspects of the organization.

Rozier is also leaving.  WOW.  Blow the fucker up.

Tired, overused term

Complained about the young guys.

And?  Justifiably?

Moped.

Cared

Dispirited the whole team.

Scapegoat - as I said.

but his numbers looked good

WERE good.

Kid your post is gibberish.

You didn't watch the Celts last year did you?

I don't blame you, at times they were unwatchable, but at times they played pretty good basketball.

But inconsistency and a disaapointing year was the result.

Remember Game 1 of the Eastern semi's where they blew the doors off Milwaukee and then they disappeared?
Paul Pierce probably remembers.

LOL

But the inconsistency from so many players, but primarily KI, Rozier, a somewhat tough year for Tatum, and the still recovering Hayward who never was 100% hurt the team.

Brown had a very good year, he has the makings of a very good 2-way player.

And Al had a real solid year.

as did maybe my favorite Celt, Marcus Smart.

No need to blow it up.

They've a lot of talent on that team. Its interesting you don't see it.

[kiidcarter8]

Simply stated - Kyrie is a GFP -

and now will be busting Celts from within the division.

Yes, Mr Walker should do fine as the new nanny for Tatum.

[bodiddley]

Here's a good list of 50 non-star FA's:

From that list, I could go for:

PG's: Pa Bev
McConnell could be good for CHA, and they could go with Rose, Rivers, etc.  Options.

Young Bigs: Khem Birch, JaMychal Green, Kornet CHop Suey,

1 year vets: Taj, Ed Davis, Demarre, Gay,
