Looks like a nice back up big, very agile and good movement off the ball

I'm not happy with how the offseason has gone, but that's not going to stymie my excitement for Celtics basketball. It's going to be a long month.

hey, if somebody told you 4 years ago that we are going to have horford, hayward and irving with 5th(Smart), 3rd(Brown) and 3rd(Tatum) picks and a possible 2-7 pick next year, how would you feel about that?

This is a nice rationalization technique, but it doesn't make me feel any better about the way Danny handled this offseason.

All you have to do is re-watch the ECF---and see us get absolutely HUMILIATED by the Cavs...Really, they toyed with us---it was the Worst thing I have ever seen in my 30+ years as a C's fan---GOOD Moves by Ainge.

It's true that changes needed to be made. That doesn't mean Ainge made the right changes.

this season is taking forever to start.

haven't been this pumped for a Celtics season since the big 3's last legitimate shot at winning it all. so glad the bridge team era is gone. it's onto new horizons with actual players who can hustle and have talent.

He's a well spoken genius and the alpha leader of our team

Hope you're right.  I was handed an administrative timeout, and I'm still way too cranky about this.

Also the king of all social media!  Haha.

I'm super excited.

I'm hoping this will be the first season for a core of players we're going to be watching play (and WIN!) together for a long time.

I still can't believe all the butt-hurt people on this board that need convincing that this team is better than the dead-end roster we just got rid of.

I'm beginning to think you guys are more upset with being wrong about that group of players that are now gone being just a bridge team than being concerned about the team's actual goal of getting better.

Bought my season pack the other day. Can't wait until the first preseason game to get a look at these guys.

TP. Perfectly explained.

I don't think you can win a championship with a 5'7" PG unable to defend, or with Crowder as starter, with Kelly playing a big game and disappearing in the next four, even with Bradley (my favourite) so undersized as SG if he doesn't have Magic Johnson/Lonzo Ball/Shane Livingston beside him in the backcourt.

They were good, they played with heart and passion and we loved them. But I realistically think the ECF with the best conference record was THE BEST they could get.

Now we have Kyrie, a top-4 PG in the league, we have a scoring machine all-around player in Hayward, we still have Horford as glue do-it-all guy, we have some young players developing (Smart, Brown, Tatum, Rozier) and some help from veterans (Morris, Baynes, etc).

I don't think anyone thinking with their head, and not heart, can say we had a better roster last year. It's too biased and irrational.

Yes, I don't know how much will he play for us next year, but I have always enjoyed watching agile, long-armed, skinny bigs with good block feel like Theis. He played well yesterday against Israel - 15p, 15r, 3b.
