The Globe reported that we're interested in Gafford. They mentioned that we wouldn't have to trade away as much as we would for Zubac, but we would have to make the salaries work.  OK salary cap experts, let's see some hypothetical trades!  :D

Gaffords and Thompson for Simons works.

No it does not.  Those two make a combined $31 million, not counting Klay?s trade bonus, and we cannot take on more salary because we are over 1st apron.

It worked on Fanspo trade machine so I thought it was OK.  I think how it worked was that one or the other comes in via Porzingis TPE so that trade itself does not count as adding salary.

Got it.  It is still a no-go because it adds a ton of tax to the Celtics this year, and takes next year?s team to about $4 million short of the second-apron.

Hauser plus two minimums makes it work.  I would rather it be Boucher+Tillman but it would more likely be Boucher + Minott.

This would be tricky as DAL already has 15 contracts.  This trade would be a net +2 for their roster.  They would have to work that out.  Same for BOS who is at 14.  -2 would put them at 12, below the allowable.  All this can be worked out, but adds some complexity to the trade.

It does, but because Gafford makes $4+ million more than Hauser, monetarily it is a near wash for them this year, and cuts $6 million from the payroll next year.  It is, however, why I think the would need Minott over Tillman.

Harden passed Shaq for 9th all time in points scored.  He is a year or so away from Wilt. Speaking of Wilt, Durant passed him a couple games back for 7th and is only 102 points behind Dirk for 6th. If Durant stays mostly healthy he should pass Jordan for 5th by the end of the season.

Harden's career totals are amazing. Especially after his slow start his first 3 years in OKC. 17th year. So 14 years after the OKC stretch. He has been around a long time now.

28,614 points
8,604 assists
6,645 rebounds
1,763 steals
667 blocks (more than Jokic with 561 blocks 11yrs)

9th all time in points
12th all time in assists
23rd all time in steals

He must be among the all time leaders in rebounds for guards. I believe Drexler is the top rebounding SG of all time. He has 6,677 rebounds. So Harden will overtake him soon. Magic, Kidd, Oscar, Westbrook will have a lot of rebounds at PG. Harden already ahead of Magic who has 6,559 rebounds. Oscar has 7,804 rebounds. Kidd has 8,725 rebounds. Westbrook has 8,936 rebounds.

Not sure if I am forgetting somebody. Anyway, Harden looks set to become 4th all time amongst guards in career rebounds over the next 2 months. In addition to already being 9th all time in points, 12th all time in assists, 23rd all time in steals. Probably ranks highly in all-time blocks for guards as well.

Mazzulla was asked six questions after the 98-96 defeat in Indianapolis, and to each one, his answer was the same: "Illegal screen."

Question: Take us through the last couple of possessions?

Mazzulla: Illegal screen.

Question: What'd you say?

Mazzulla: Illegal screen.

Question: Illegal screen?

Mazzulla: Illegal screen.

Question: What fell apart to get you guys behind?

Mazzulla: Illegal screen.

Question: What do you want people to know about that?

Mazzulla: Illegal screen.

Question: Is there anything else you would like to say?

Mazzulla: Illegal screen.

Mazzulla's likely point of contention came in the closing seconds, when Pacers star Pascal Siakam set a screen at the top of the 3-point arc, causing Boston's Derrick White to lose his balance.

Siakam got the ball back from Andrew Nembhard, pump-faked and stepped inside the foul line for the high-arcing leaner that banked through with 6.1 seconds to give Indiana a victory.

The Celtics have had recent issues with officiating.

Earlier Monday, star Jaylen Brown was fined $35,000 by the NBA after he criticized the officiating following the team's loss to the San Antonio Spurs on Saturday.
