I'm fine letting Jaylen rest this game. He deserves it, and then he can play the Lakers game Friday. He's been durable so far this season since coming back from the early season hamstring injury, knock on wood

Ya, this is the perfect rest game.

Celtics in the middle of a 5 games in 7 nights stretch. Its the front end of a B2B. The opponent is worst team in the league. The rest of our guys are healthy. Jaylen is coming off a season high in minutes. Next game is a national Tv game against the Lakers.

Celtics SHOULD be able to handle this easily even without Jaylen, especially with Sarr out.

R.I.P. Elden Campbell.

Bummer.

He played some fun teams to watch.

* 1991 Lakers with Magic Johnson. Old Worthy. Young Vlade Divac. Prime Sam Perkins, AC Green, Byron Scott. Elden as a young rookie and deep bench player.

* Showtime II 1994-96 with Nick Van Exel, Cedric Ceballos, Eddie Jones and Vlade Divac. The Magic Johnson comeback in 1996.

* Early Shaq Lakers-era 1996-99. Horry, E Jones, young Kobe, Van Exel.

* Those Eddie Jones Hornets teams with Anthony Mason 1999 & 2000. Bobby Phills, David Wesley, David Coleman, JR Reid.

* The Baron Davis & Jamal Mashburn 2000-03 Hornets. Along with PJ Brown. David Wesley. Great starting 5. Not much of a bench. Could have been a title contender with a better bench.

* The 2004 & 2005 Pistons teams as a deep bench player. Chauncey, Rip, Tayshaun, Sheed, Big Ben.


Spent almost his entire career on some of the most fun teams in the league. Always enjoyed watching him play.

Giannis may want to be a Knick, but a team like the Spurs or Mavs makes far more sense
Or the Celtics.  I like Giannis and Brown or Giannis and Tatum more than I like Brown and Tatum.
That is fair, but I'm not sure the Bucks would want an injured Tatum who is inferior at his best or a much more inferior Brown as the main piece coming back.  Boston simply doesn't have the young player assets or high level draft picks that it would typically take in this sort of trade.

I agree with the Spurs but why do you say the Mavs? Do you mean from his perspective or the Bucks?

I think he would have a better chance to win with the Knicks because of the East than with the Mavs. If you think from the Bucks perspective then that is only the case if the Mavs trade Flagg and salaries for him but then I am not sure how good the Mavs will be if that makes sense to try and win with this team.
It would take a fair amount of players to make it work so they'd probably need a 3rd team but a general framework of something like this

Giannis, Prince for Flagg, Christie, Lively, Gafford, Marshall, Martin, couple of 1st

Post-trade that would leave the Mavs - Davis, Giannis, Washington, Thompson, and Irving once he is back as the starting unit.  They have D. Russell who would start now until Irving is back and then be a solid 6th man.  Hardy, Powell, Exum, Prince, and Williams is a decent enough bench.  The real question on that trade is how well can Giannis and Davis play together.  If they can, the talent is definitely there with Irving for them to win the title.  Health obviously a huge issue with that team though.

Multiple teams have called the Clippers about Ivica Zubac?s availability, per  @BrettSiegelNBA
 
The starting price for the center is two first-round picks

Boston has Simons who is a guard LA has expressed interest in and multiple picks.

Honestly if Simons + 2 future protected first round picks nets you Zubac, I'd really consider it. I'd prefer to do Simons + 1 FRP + 2 seconds but if it gets to a bit of a bidding war I'd do it. This roster + Tatum AND Zubac in the frontcourt makes us a contender again.

Uh oh, Giannis left with an injury. Looks like it could be a calf injury
