Hornets (24-25) at Celtics (31-19) Game #51 1/30/19

[blink]

I'm excited about Jaylen. He's looking flat out dangerous out there.

Jaylen's Tony Allen 2.0.

A better version of Tony Allen and with a 3-point shot.

That's about the very worse player comparison I have ever read here.

Did you see the Tony Allen before his season ending knee injury?

I said the same thing.  Terrible comp.  Tony Allen was a good athlete as well, but that is about where it ends.

I've seen Tony Allen play a ton of games. Great defender. Nothing like Jaylen Brown.

[SHAQATTACK]

He got mugged.  Jumped even. Thats a foul!!!

police !

[RJ87]

How is Charlotte in the playoffs right now? They fold when Kemba doesn't play spectacular basketball. The bottom of the East is weak.

[Boston Garden Leprechaun]

Looks like pacers going to lose tonight that will bring us very close to 4th in the east

we need the 3rd seed

nobody's losen much though

right. i would prefer a top two seed so somebody else could knock off the 3 se ed ( bucks or raps). the way it is looking we will NOT have home court and we may have to beat the raps in conference semis and then bucks in conference finals. tough road to hoe



and there is GINO!!!!!!!!!!!!

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Hopefully it's going to be Horford and Tatum for AD.

I don't want Smart included in the trade for AD.

As important as Smart is to our identity and overall play, Al is just as important, if not even more important. Really need to keep him moving forward, especially if he'll opt out of his final year and give us a deal in exchange for a four year deal this summer.

For the salaries to match, either Horford or Smart must be included.

AD's salary for next season is 27m.
Without Horford's or Smart's contract, no way Celts come close to 27m.

Well, that ultimately depends on (a) whether Brown AND Tatum are included, (b) if Rozier would be willing to work out a sign and trade with NOLA, and (c) where our draft picks land.

If we end up getting a higher draft pick and pick for New Orleans, we can sign him, wait thirty days, and add that salary as part of the trade, which could get you approximately another $6M or so added to the deal.

Rozier's new deal will not be the basis for a sign and trade.
It will be his base salary.
That means even if Rozier's new contract is for 15m per year, he will not count as 15m in a sign and trade.

That's still $7.5M that we could add to the deal, which is a significant amount given our lack of those sized contracts that we want to trade. Add that to Tatum's $7.8M contract next year, and you already have $15.3M. If we get lucky and get a higher draft pick in the top 4, we could get close to the needed salary with just those three alone, always adding a Yabu to make up any difference.

I checked, Celts will not come close to 27m without Horford or Smart.

One has to be sacrificed to make the deal work.

Celts can choose between Brown and Tatum but Smart or Horford must be included.

You must have missed this

AD's salary for next season is 27m.
Without Horford's or Smart's contract, no way Celts come close to 27m.

C's would only need to get to $21.6 million in outgoing salary.

Tatum $7.8
Brown $6.5
Yabu $3
Williams $1.9

Then sign the first round picks we choose New Orleans and you make up the difference.

So neither Smart nor Horford nor Hayward would need to be traded.

Jaylen gets knocked down without a call more than any other player I've ever seen.

That's why I said a better version of Tony Allen.

Or hayward...should he return to some form of himself.

An allstar and rozier sign and trade and 5 picks is a fantastic deal.

Keeps team from moving...maybe keeps them in playoffs.

Rozier
Jrue
Hayward
Mirotic
Randle

And 4 picks

[satch]

Another solid effort.....Lets get the next one.

[celticinorlando]

Man a 30 point lead...Most complete game in a long time

[blink]

but he is the best on the team at getting to the line lol

[nickagneta]

Time for another home victory. I see a good 15 point win and think Brown and Tatum have huge games. Let's Gooooooooo

Way to go Jays making me look so Nostradamus like.

[Vox_Populi]

Everyone enjoy the win. Glad to see it. Hope Kyrie is back next game.

Shout out to Horford for basically shooting 60% from the field since he came back from his extended rest.
