Celtics Talk / Re: Why did we make the Vuc trade?
« Last post by Donoghus on Today at 02:26:20 PM »
Just looking at his career numbers, I had zero recollection of him being a Sixer.  Part of the 4 way deal with Iguodala to Denver and Bynum to Sixers.

The guy has had a very solid career.

Same.  When I first had that, I immediately went to basketball reference to see if that was actually correct.  Zero recollection.

Free agent forward Jeremy Sochan plans to sign with the New York Knicks after he clears waivers, his agent Deirunas Visockas of Gersh Sports tells ESPN. Sochan had 10 interested suitors after being released from the Spurs on Thursday and landed on the Knicks as his new team.

Interesting.  I guess he's their Yabu replacement.

I don't think House adds much to the broadcast.  Not everything Scal says is gold, of course, but I think he's gotten good at pointing out some less obvious things about plays and tactics.  House seems like a perfectly pleasant guy, but I don't recall ever saying anything about a particular game that wasn't pretty obvious.
that's fair.  guess I've grown tired of Scal trying too hard to sound like he knows everything and pointing out stuff that's either obvious or about himself.

makes me miss Tommy so much.

Yeah.  I liked Scal when he was with Mike.  With Drew, both of them are leaning in on going "bro" and trying too hard.  Over-repetitive nicknames, the same topics repeated over and over.

If Scal is on a broadcast I think they need a straight man, rather than somebody feeding into his shtick.

San Antonio Spurs star De'Aaron Fox has replaced Giannis Antetokounmpo in the 2026 NBA All-Star Game.

That feels weird.  Wouldn?t Fox be on a US team while Giannis is on the World Team?

Got to say, to be 35-19 without Tatum and the 2 seed in the East is actually bonkers.

Seriously, just take a step back and consider it. We went from thinking about tanking or even wondering if they'd reach 35-40 wins, to they've reached 35 wins before the All-Star Break lol. Easily on pace for 50+ wins too. And then they likely add Tatum in March  :)

This East is there for the taking. Not saying we definitely will win it, and it also depends how Tatum looks. But no team, not even DET/NY is "invincible" looking.

Also, Vucevic was a sneaky good add not just for this year but potentially the next 2-3 years. The age might seem a bit scary but Horford was still very effective here in his age 35-38 years seasons. Vucevic has been a durable guy and he's basically a walking double-double most nights on the court.

If they can add another productive player this offseason to go with Vucevic-Tatum-Jaylen-White-PP and a decent bench of Queta/Hauser/Hugo/Walsh, that's the next iteration of our championship team. Hell, if Simons wanted to come back on a discounted deal to be a microwave scorer off the bench for us I'm all for that too if nothing else materializes.

Its pretty incredible.  Even if they go just .500 the rest of the way, they're a 49 win team.   That exceeds pretty much everyone's expectations back in the fall.

Celtics Talk / Re: How do the NBA salary cap rules really work?
« Last post by Celtics2021 on Today at 01:04:46 PM »
Thank you!

So the non tax MLE threshold of $15,139,000 would pertain to signing other UFA, say Anf Simmons for example, since we have no cap space?

Correct.
