Tacko Fall will enter camp on his Exhibition 10 contract with hopes of landing either a two-way or guaranteed deal in Boston. If not, he must clear waivers before joining the Red Claws, which seems unlikely given interest elsewhere around the league after his summer league stint.

For anyone who needs clarification: The Celtics aren’t really any closer to or further from having Tacko Fall on their Opening Night roster now than they were before.

Celtics announced four signings but flexibility remains with Tacko on Exhibit 10 and Green on partial guarantee. Camp should be fun with players trying to state their case for a spot.

It’s just a training camp contract. He’s not on the roster.

I had seen Himmelsbach and Forsberg's tweets. So even more coming out saying he is still on the E-10.

So nothing has changed.

He's trying to turn down the Tacko noise by making this announcement.

Ainge seems enthusiastic about all these bigs, but Stevens talks like he wants them to play some on the perimeter. Kanter, for example. That would take away from his main game, which is offensive rebounding and inside scoring. 

I wish the media would confront Ainge and Stevens about this--is there a conflict in their thinking?

^this. I'm worried about how Brad will play our big men, it seems like he wants them all to shoot threes and hang outside the perimeter.

Tacko noise needs to be like K-Pop coming out of a Metallica-concert-sized line of speakers at the DMZ. I want no other sounds in my life except the madringing of Tacko, Tacko, Tacko.

I don't know if this affects the G-League players and their player rights.

me too....he has shown an inflexibility to coach in different ways and with hard personalities like Kyrie .   This might be his NBA undoing.

Celtics Gold or something. I couldn't think of anything much...

Im not worries. If Kanter becomes an adequate shooter, its even more valuable than offensive boards. And it wont affect his abilities on the defensive boards.

Brad's honeymoon is over, trust me. He will be under the microscope next season.

I don't think that's true. He didn't do a great job this past season, but he has been good most of his career. One season doesn't wipe that out. Sure he needs to be better this season, but I think Danny really believes in Brad and I would not say that he is in any way in danger of losing his job, even if the team under performs again. He might be under increased scrutiny from fans and media, but that's just background noise.

You do not think the fans matter to Danny? If the fans do not matter perhaps it is time for Danny to go too. The last championship was 2008. This is the Boston Celtics we are talking about, not the Atlanta Hawks who are just satisfied to be in the NBA. Brad Stevens is going into year 7 if I am not mistaken. Time to start producing, or dump that no inside game style he coaches.

well, we are getting far afield from the thread theme. but to add to the above, you imply and seem to assume that an "inside" game will produce the championships that have been missing for the past 11 years.

yet, for how many of those years did the celtics have stevens as coach, with his "outside game"? further, since 2014 when tim duncan was on the championship spurs team, how many teams have been marked by a strong, defining "inside game"?

this is not our father's nba and stevens understands that winning now means playing a different style of basketball. the problem seems less stevens strategy than the lack of talent that will play team ball.

Celtics need an inside game, I do not believe Tacko Fall is the short term answer.

To your point about recent Championship winners. Unless I am wrong the last 3 teams to win NBA are Warriors, Cavs, and Toronto. All three had rim protection and rim runners, do not kid yourself. NBA is still a big man's game.

You need a good inside game to at least handle those times when the threes are not falling. You need an inside game to grab those rebounds to get you extra possessions, and those morale breaking put back baskets that ruin 22-23 seconds of excellent perimeter defense.

Brad's love of small ball is not the answer. Tacko Fall is not the answer. You need serviceable bigs, playing big and not camped on the three point line jacking up threes

I think fans matter to Danny and all the Celtics brass. I also think, however, that he will not be moved by popular opinion with respect to his coach. He knows the best way to make the fans happy is to put a winning team on the floor. If he thinks Brad is the right coach for the team he will support him regardless of what the fans think. And that's the right way to do it, he should not be swayed by the moods of the fans and should only focus on what is right for the team.
