for a portion of the TPE?

DET drafted Jalen Duran, traded for Nerlens Noel, and Re-signed Marvin Bagley. May not be any minutes there for good ol Kelly.

From what I remember Brad always liked him, and we could certainly use his shooting. He's still his inconsistent self, but is still capable of randomly exploding for 30+ points any given night.

What will Detroit give us to take on his contract!

As much as I would like a big with a skillset that contrasts with Timelord's, one of our giant problems in the playoffs was defensive rebounding.  KO won't help there, so I'm not all that interested.  He'd also be a significant defensive liability.

Could not play D or rim protect, so he does not fit our scheme.

With Gallo, he wouldn't play.

C's need a guy like Dwight Howard on the bench i.e. someone who will come in and bang in the paint, grab rebounds, and block some shots. 
2023 Historical Draft - Brooklyn Nets - 9th pick

Bigs - Pau, Amar'e, Issel, McGinnis, Roundfield

Serge Ibaka. A bit cooked and slow, but does all of the above and hits threes. Somebody to use against Embiid. Preferably to be a third center, with Bryant being the first backup

I’d prefer somebody more defensive-minded for our backup big spot, personally.

I’d definitely be on that if it happened.  The fact that he’s a local kid is a bonus.

Yeah, I've always wanted him on the team. Still think he's a quality big who can give you a solid 20-25 mins off the bench.

No unless he get bought out the Celtics are up to the part of the tax where every $1 you spend it's like $4 in tax

Ah, that's a huge bummer. Guess we won't be using the infamous TPE then.

How much did they just make going to the finals? I heard the Celtics have spent 40 million in tax money since 2004. The Warriors spent twice that this last year. Pour it on Celtics!!!
