I think either Romeo or Nesmith will get traded this offseason. I also anticipate the Celtics selecting a PG or PF if they end up using their 1st rounder this season.
I agree that the young guys are continuing to develop, and that's nice to see. I hope that we can get a Lauri Markkanen type for next season.
I don't see a reason to trade either unless there is a big trade that they are needed for parts. If any player get trade to just clear a spot it is Edwards.
agreed. C's are looking at very solid swing rotation in Tatum, Brown, Fournier, Romeo and Nesmith that can be kept together for a number of years. no need to break that up.
You mean ‘wing’, not ‘swing’.
You’ve left out Marcus Smart, who shares a majority of his lineups with a point guard. - So even if you call him a ‘point guard’, he’s using a lot of wing minutes. That makes six.
The trouble with keeping both Romeo and Nesmith is that they’ve got four guys in front of them who already merit starter’s or high rotation minutes. It’s a math problem, not a talent problem.
Imo both of them have NBA rotation upside, so likely one of them won’t last in Boston.
Roster space can be obtained by moving Edward, Semi, GWill.
Semi is on an expiring contract, so that’s very unlikely in his case.
Just what happens to him after this season is a fascinating subject. He’s very good at two highly desirable skills: he’s a switchable defender who shoots 20 points over league-average from 3. He’s a 3-and-D swing.
In addition he doesn’t need the ball to be effective, executes reliably on both ends, protects the paint, runs the floor like a deer, and seldom turns it over. He will certainly land somewhere. Whether or not it’s Boston depends on the price.
Boston will not be dumping Grant to clear a roster spot. No one is untouchable, but he’s hard to replace. He’s a Celtic - some people will know what I mean.
Can't tell me you see Semi come into a game and think "he's going to make things better".
He contributes to winning basketball games, bottom line.
Your attitude is not uncommon among fans, but clearly the coaching staff doesn't agree with you. He's gotten rotation minutes since his rookie year. Before he got hurt this year he was averaging his highest per-game minutes.
Clearly the management team doesn't agree with you, either. He got a make-good contract and was re-upped twice.
I don't know what you're looking at, frankly. I figured posters around here would change their minds when his 3-pt% went above league-average last season (it's higher still now, if you haven't looked), since that was the main criticism of his game; but no.
Edwards is clearly someone we can jettison. question is if it just costs us a second rounder and cash to buy him out or something more than that.
Again, can't tell what you're looking at. You'd give a team Edwards, a second-round pick, and cash just to get off of his tiny contract? He's exactly where they expected him to be with his game. They gave him a developmental contract and he's fulfilling on it. He's coachable, improved tremendously in his dribble drive and finishing skills, as they asked him to. He has a total of two turnovers on the season.
It's smart management to have young developing players with potential, like Edwards and Nesmith and Langford and Grant. Boston has a
lot of youth right now, and I suppose it's not surprising that posters' notions about how good they'll be are depressed by irregular court time, lack of shots for them, and the inevitable growing pains.
