I am a little concerned with the lack of a viable big on this team.
Great having the full MLE but there isn’t gonna be any bigs left.

As of right now we don’t have the full MLE.

So do we basically have to wait around until Philly decides to play while bigs get plucked off the board only for us to roll into July 6 with open arms awaiting the arrival of our answer to embid and giannis...the oft forgotten Colton Iverson? :-\

Can't some team like say the Knicks throw a lot more money at Looney than we can?

The Russell deal means the Warriors won’t be able to keep Kevon Looney, a prime candidate for the Celtics’ vacant starting big spot.

Quote
W/ Iguodala trade, Russell and Klay both maxes and dump Livingston's GT, GSW 5 players.  A mere $18.2m below the hard cap to fill out 9 roster slots. Even if they keep McKinnie, Graham, Napier NG, $13.1m for 6. Goodbye Looney, Cousins, Cook, possibly Bell.

Well, would still prefer Noel given the option, as he'll be cheaper, but Looney would be a solid (if undersized) consolatoin prize.

I bet you somebody like the Chicago Bulls or the LA Clippers end up getting Kevon Looney before Boston  :'(

is Cousins out of the realm of possibilities at this point ?
Honesty have no idea at this point. So much movement today across the league. Only a handful of teams have legitnvap space left at this point.

Yes but they already signed Taj Gibson and Randle

To the many asking about DeMarcus Cousins: If the #Celtics are in fact interested, as they were at this time last year when he chose the #Warriors, I'm guessing he'll command more money than they have to offer. But, we'll see.

Free agent Bobby Portis has agreed to a two-year, $31M deal with the Knicks, agent Mark Bartelstein tells ESPN.

BAHAHAHA from Kyrie and KD to Randle and Portis! So much for that "great" offseason, huh Dolan?!

Yes but they already signed Taj Gibson and Randle

Add Portis at $15.5M to that, too. So they're probably out at this point.

After the locker room issues last year, I REALLY don't see them pursuing Cousins.

If Boston can’t get a big in free agency then a trade has to be coming. Front court is the worst in the NBA right now

What the hell is Knicks doing with the undersized bigs and guards? I thought they were doing a poor impression of our team. ;D
