Celtics Talk / Re: Who would the Celtics protect in an expansion draft?

Tatum, JB, Neemis, White, PP, Walsh, Hugo, Hauser
Do you take a chance and not protect White, thinking that nobody would want his contract at his age? I think it?s too risky. I guess Garza is gone. I don?t like the idea of leaving Walsh or Hugo exposed.
I'd protect Garza over Walsh.
Why? He plays hard, but he?s not even good enough as a backup C. Walsh is 6 years younger and can guard multiple positions. He?s also shooting over 40% from 3pt.
Mainly because I think Walsh is a bust. That said, Luka is a big who can also shoot the three.

Stats are close, but Jordan is getting about 3MPG more right now. Jordan is shooting over 40% from 3PT, but Luka is even better than that.
Look, wings are a dime a dozen as we should know, both Danny and Brad are infatuated with drafting them. He might be 6 years older, but he fits in the age bracket for this team, which is also why I would not be upset if they traded White vs Simons. Another plug and play swap.
The problem with Garza is he is not a good defender. Can?t protect the paint at all. This is the main reason why the Celtics biggest need is a backup center.
How can Walsh be a bust at 21 years old when he?s shooting 40%+ from 3pt and arguably the best defender on the team who can guard 1-4. Don?t understand that at all.
