Celtics Talk / When do you think Tatum makes his season debut?
« Last post by keevsnick on Today at 04:33:49 AM »
The Knicks game was a popular return date for Tatum, even if it was never realistic. With him officially ruled out and seemingly all but ruled out through the all-star break when do you seem him making his season debut?

A couple popular possibilities:

February 27th- The first home game after the All-Star break.
March 4th- The day after his 28th birthday.
March 14th- The day after the 10-month anniversary of his injury.
March 27th- 10 Games left in season, last home game before a long road trip.

It has to be Shulga.  Harper Jr. is too expensive, unless they just mean they will keep Harper Jr. on the Boston roster as a two-way player, since they have enough games to keep him up.  But they will not sign anyone from outside the organization, nor anyone who played in the NBA before this year.

Hayden Gray has been a much better ball-handler for the Maine Celtics this year. I know they drafted Shulga, but Gray is the best player on that team when Amari and Harper aren't playing.

I don?t know if you still hold that opinion after seeing Shulga in person tonight.  But regardless, there is a rather arcane luxury tax rule that says that rookie minimum-salaried players count the same as two-year vet minimum players for luxury tax purposes (so teams in the tax don?t go signing G-leaguers at the expense of vets to reduce their tax bill).  What has not been clear to me is if this tax treatment counts for determining whether a team is over the tax, or only kicks in once a team is over the tax.  In other words, would Gray and Shulga count the same as long as Boston is under, but if they go over then Gray counts more?  Or does Gray always count more and the Celtics would thus go into the tax if they signed him?  I think it?s the latter, but we will find out soon enough.

I suppose the other ball-handler option would be bringing over Yam Madar.  Not what I expect to happen, but technically possible.

I am curious if Hartenstein is getable next season.

OKC will have three players making $40 + million. Their cap estimation is roughly $260 million, and for a small market that is a hefty expense. Oklahoma could move Dort but he is pretty integral to their defensive identity.

Perhaps an offer of Queta & Hauser is enough for them to part with Hartenstein.

Hartenstein has a team option.  I expect he will be a free agent.

It wouldn't surprise me if OKC and Hartenstein work something out where he cuts his salary for next year in exchange for a longer-term deal. We'll have to see. The crazy thing about OKC is even if they have to let him leave, they could easily package some draft picks together to get a cheaper replacement.

OKC will be substantially in the tax even if they decline the team options on Hartenstein and Kenrich Williams and peace then with minimums.  I am not sure they can work out something more affordable.

The player I am interested in buying a little low on to relieve OKC?s tax bill is Topic.  He is obviously behind on his development curve thanks to his injury and then his cancer treatment, but he is getting closer to returning to the court.  At $5.4 million, their tax bill, and three or four more firsts, Topic might be a luxury they can no longer afford.

A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms is really good. The main actor and the child actor have been excellent so far.

The story is a bit different than GOT or HOTD, its far less world spanning and the stakes in world are lower, but world is rich and the characters compelling, so it still works even if it's in a different way. And it still delivers some of those awesome music swelling "Game of Thrones" hype moments.

Just finished watching the final episode of season 2 for Fallout on Prime.  I really enjoyed the show and can't wait until season 3 starts.  For anyone who is not a gamer, like me, I would describe the show as Mad Max living in Vegas in the 1950s and 200 years into the future.  Check it out nothing on the tube like it.

I really enjoyed it too.  And not a gamer (since about the Nintendo 64)

Best system ever!  :)
