2019 Summer Rumors official thread

Seems like the Celts are gonna have just the room exception (just shy of $5 million) and veteran minimum deals to fill the following holes:

- Starting center
- Backup PG
- Third string shooting guard

This would seem to be a role for one of our draft picks.

Noah Vonleh is my pick. 23 Years old, from Boston. Had a great year with the Knicks, had Fizdale not been a total lunatic with his rotations, Vonleh would have had even better numbers.

Here is decent list compiled by the hoopshype: https://hoopshype.com/2019/06/21/nba-free-agency-2019-centers/
Perhaps the Celtics will just sign a few veteran Centers and play the position by committee.




Also, bring back Wanamaker and Theis if possible.

This list scares me

Free agent guard Cory Joseph has agreed to a three-year, $37 million deal with the Sacramento Kings, league sources tell Yahoo Sports.

This means Cauley-Stein will be renounced if he hasn’t been already.

Good evening CBA exhalted one:

What is the most Cs can offer assuming Morris is renounced and no more trades?

The room exception — 2 years, $9.8 million.

If the Kyrie deal can't be arranged as a sign and trade, how much would someone like Morris need to get in a sign and trade to help complete the Kemba deal and keep us above the cap?

Can IT4 play center

sure he can

onthe Celtics ....miniature squad

[Celtics4ever]

Backup PG
- Third string shooting guard

These were addressed in the draft, I hope.


I think we need a center and a back up big more.

As fairweatherfan just mentioned...

Sources: Philadelphia has signed-and-traded Jimmy Butler to Miami, with Heat sending Josh Richardson to the 76ers.

Josh Richardson is a better fit for that Philly team than Jimmy Butler. So while it is a talent downgrade, it is a team chemistry upgrade.

Josh Richardson is perfect to play off of Simmons and Embiid.

What an incredible move by Philly!

I can't believe they got such a talented player in a S&T while losing Jimmy Butler. Way to turn a threat into an opportunity. Their front office deserves major credit for this one. Wow.

[Birdman]

Golden State are a smart franchise..i respect them what they have done over the yeara..drafted Klay, Green, Steph..signing Durant..bringing in right bench players..and now getting Russell..wow

The max and then we’d need some more salary even when including Rozier.

At a certain point last night Philly was in danger of losing Butler, Harris and Reddick while the C’s were looking assured to recover a bit by getting Walker, resigning or S&T Horford, possibly resigning Morris (or S&T) and getting the full MLE.  This morning’s news has C’s back in the room exception and renouncing Morris while losing Horford for nothing. Philly signs Harris and Horford and S&Ts Butler for a nice piece in Richardson.  What a complete and disappointing turnaround.

The only remaining salvage from last night is that it seems Kawhi is still in play for the Clips though I am fully expecting that to turn the wrong way at some point today.

Yup, overall disappointing though Kemba will be good for this team.  Let's see what DA does for the frontcourt.

Milwaukee took a step back too, and certainly Toronto will if KL bolts.

OTOH, Indy did some nice things AND have Oladipo coming back.

The deck chairs on the Titanic have been rearranged!!

This is where I scratch my head at the Celtics drafting Langford at #14. Should have taken a big there to at least provide some depth. Now they have none.

I like Danny and think overall he's done a good job but he has killed us many of time with putting no emphasis on bigs!

[celticinorlando]

Just thinking about Williams, Yabu and Theis as your front court. That is bad...like historically bad.

Al going to the Sixers after Boston had a chance to get him back is a nut punch.
