"You didnt wattch the Celts last year, did you?"

- I watched every team.   Boston lost to a better team.  A team whose star played better in the series.  An emerging and WISE team - not one that is falling apart, begging players and making deals and picks wily-nily.

I thought the Kyrie deal was a gamble at the time - but it may very well have paid off with a conference banner had Kyrie not been injured in 2018.  And having him run this team for less than 20 mil per was on the cheap.

The cost of the deal?  A good solder like Crowder and the pick that became Sexton.  Is what it is.....

Now there is talk of an I.T. return.  Good for him.

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.

if Kemba signs with the Celts and can get the ball to Tatum/Brown with a greater regularity than prioritized by KI, I'm sure it will work out just fine for the the potential all-stars.

And I suspect Ki's return to the parquet floor in a new jersey will make for must see TV.

[kiidcarter8]

Get the ball to 13 and 15 PER players.

Yeah - good plan.

[kiidcarter8]

If Celts sign Enes Kanter and feed him, you may have something.

[bodiddley]

Didn't make anyone better.

Tired, overused term

Kyrie was the Point, with the ball in his hands.  He was supposed to run the team and get guys shots.
Instead, he was good at doing Kyrie.
Did anybody else put up good numbers on the Celts last year?
Morris had a couple good months.

Too bad Horford likely leaves, because I think a Kemba run team with the same players would outperform Kyrie's C's.

The Bucks were the better team. But that wasn't the point under discussion.

It was your interesting but misguided insights and biases about a team you did not watch very often.

and the KI trade was one every GM in the NBA would make.  It was basically getting a top 10-15 talent for the 8th pick in the draft.

And solved the IT problem.

And he's not coming back. That Brinks truck is way down the Mass Pike and headed west.

[kiidcarter8]

Your contention then is that a more "proper" Kyrie could have MADE Boston a better team than Milwaukee (and of course include TOR int here as well)?

No?

Then what's your whining about.  Kyrie was good - the team was SHORT.  And Danny has work to do.

Note to Bo - Brad Stevens ran much of the Celts offense.  And young teams often don't run the floor and space themselves properly.  Babysitting can be tough.

Bucks were better than the Celts and they had no answer for GF and the 3-pointers that the Bucks threw at them.

I'm not whining at all kid.

I'm just rebutting your mischaracterizations about a team you seem to love to dump on.

Celts were a clusterfuck last year with lots of contributors, but having an insecure alpha male PG who wanted to prove his alphaness after the Celts came close to winning the East without him, was a big-part of the problem.

Kemba if signed will help.

they will miss Al and Baynes, I still hope they give Al that 4th year, but its probably too late, but whatever they do they need to bolster paint presence.

The team which looked so promising is at best THIRD in the conference heading to next season - and losing its 2 best players

Yeah, I am having some fun with it.

I will admit - remind, actually - to the forum that as much fun as I have grilling Stevens, he was on my list for Knicks coach before Boston even considered him.  So I know the guy has slkills. 

Danny needs to stock the cupboard for him.

Next - how do you feel about the Celts draft?

Bench players/projects. Maybe the two kids from Indiana will help.

Celts real need now is an interior presence 4/5.

re Brad-I can only imagine his conversations with Ainge about how to deal with the royal PitA KI, a guy they considered key in the KI/AD equation,  and Danny told him to deal with the asshole as best he could.

[Yankguy1]

Bo....I love your stuff, but you could do at least the non-creative among us a favor and post the real names of the guys you speak of..

Mavs, Celts, Suns, Bulls linked to Brogdon

Mavs, Celts, Suns, Bulls linked to Brogdon

Brogdon is one of my favourite players in the L. But I suspect that while the Bucks initially may have hoped to sign him for a deal starting at $15m a year, the aforementioned teams (aside from Boston) are going to submit escalating bids until he receives a deal an excess of $20m. I predict a crazy contract for a guy who doesn't create his own shot or protect the rim.

Do the Knicks want to go that high?

[lesterluv]

Mavs, Celts, Suns, Bulls linked to Brogdon

Probably not, and Why Not Us? Well, cause the Mavs & Suns would be adding Brogdon to two perceived cornerstones in place. The Celts to a deep playoff team.

You can come out ahead when you're filling in the corners laying out big money or even overpaying wildly for promising, but very incomplete young players like Brogdon or Randall, but are usually super-f'ing yerself when its the beginning of your foundation building process.
