Who should we get with the MLE?

[celticinorlando]

Kornet is sacred to Brad so he’s not getting moved. Celtics stand pat and go with what they have. No one else is brought in.

Going to get the old “I believe in Sam Hauser, Luke Kornet” speech we got last year.

Brogdan, PP, Hauser, Brissett and Al/Rob will be your bench.

Kornet, Davison, Walsh, Banton and champaigne get cheerleading duty in games.

Winning 50 games will be a tough task this season with this bench (especially if brogdan is healthy)

I actually do believe in Hauser.  Now it's time to get Joe on board.

I worry about Pritchard, but we'll see.

But Kornet, Banton, Champagnie, Davison and Walsh are not ready to contribute on an NBA roster.  And I've got my doubts about Brissett.  To put that "talent" in perspective, I don't think they'd win a G-League championship if they were the core.

Brad could keep Kornet and still clear $400k, by releasing him and then resigning him to a new one-year deal, if you want to be that cynical.  He even gets more money in the process, so it’s a win-win.  It’s a pretty safe assumption to assume we can get a little higher than where we’re at right now.

I think you’re very wrong on Davison — he just doesn’t have a path to minutes unless Pritchard is moved.  He’s ready to be a 3rd-string PG.

I'd like to see him get another year in the G-League.  I don't think he's an NBA player right now.  I suspect he will be in a year or two, but I wouldn't want him playing much more than fringe minutes.  I feel similarly about Walsh:  solid bench prospect eventually, but not yet.

[Roy H.]

Anyway, to answer the original question, the guy out there I'd like us to sign, and would be willing to offer more than the minimum, is Oubre.  He's flawed, but for around $4 million he'd easily be worth it.

Then I'd ideally fill the roster out with minimum guys like Green and Biyombo.

[celticinorlando]

Of all the bench guys brought in I like Walsh the best. But he’s 19 and struggles shooting. I think he is a better rebounder than grant and will play just as hard.

He is certainly more athletic. I’d like to see him get rotational minutes over Brissett, who is absolutely terrible on offense and can’t do much of anything to help you win.

But joe’s not going to play Walsh at all and he will be in Maine with Davison.

Absurdly negative string of posting from you. Just devoid of rationality. We’re going to be worse than last seasons Cavs? Are you actually serious?

Oubre is my other guy out there.  He drives me crazy tho so he’ll never be my first choice.  He can win you a game when he’s hot, but he can lose you a game when he’s cold but thinks he’s hot.

[CelticsWhat35]

Can someone explain to me the whole 1st apron/2nd apron ramifications?  I was under the impression that the penalties associated with the 2nd apron didn’t take effect until after next season, but Brad’s moves seem to be in order to avoid that 2nd apron.  What does that do in terms of restricting the current moves they can make?

First neither of us know what is going to happen. But I am concerned that Boston has several players that are injury prone thar one or two injuries really hurt this team because they don’t have depth to get through it.

If they are healthy they should win at least 55 games.

I will take the under right now just because we don’t know how hurt brogdan is. We don’t know how Joe will improve this season.

They are certainly a playoff team but last year showed us the season was an absolute slog.

I’m not negative. I still think this team wins the east if healthy. The regular season might not be a masterpiece though

how is it not negative to say the team will be lucky to win 50 games? you are basically saying you expect them to possibly be under and a .500 team...

Thats what you need for a bench scorer though. Those are the type of guys who can win you a playoff game.

I think they will win 50-57 games if healthy. But it’s going to be tough this season.

And I guess the point is just to make the playoffs right?
