Kemba Walker (Kemba to formalize agreement on Sunday, pg 40)

I’m not sure why we would target a high price PG when we have a starting quality PG who bleeds Celtics pride on the roster. we have a much greater need for a center.

I’d much rather absorb Adams or Capela into space and sign a mid level type back up point guard.

And who might that be?

How do we get a big man and sign him to a max?

... we have a starting quality PG who bleeds Celtics pride on the roster ...

We might be stretching the meaning of “bleeds Celtics pride” here. Pouting, whining to the media, not playing defense, playing selfish offense... That’s not the ideal Celtic.

I think he means Smart

Wow, I had no idea folks discounted Marcus Smart so much.

Using the exception, trades, vet min and current players.


It will likely not be a strength this year, but the can get to a C rotation that is passable this year.

Trade Hayward which iis not happening

OR

you can sign Kemba and use the mid level to sign Vonleh

Adams nor Capela fit into CBS system (starter).  He wants guys who can shoot (thats why even Baynes was encouraged to shoot the open 3). Adams is 0-7 in 3 pt shots for his career.  Capela also doesn't shoot the 3

If those kind of centers fit into the system

Danny/CBS would have drafted Bidatze or Bruno Fernado.  Not Grant Williams imo

If true, why did we draft Robert Williams first round last season? Not for his 3 point shooting.  Things change, Tr1boy.

how many minutes per game does Robert get played

[wdleehi]

Can anyone think of a big man that needs to re-establish their value in the NBA that would like the playtime opportunity in Boston?  (like Lopez last year)

Also Al Horford didn't start shooting 3's until age 29, Baynes didn't start shooting 3's until the playoffs at age 31  Brook Lopez didn't start shooting 3's until age 28.  Just because a guy isn't shooting 3's now, doesn't mean he can't or that it's not an area that can be developed.  You can even watch multiple videos of Dwight Howard raining 3's in practice (here and here) if you really want to dream about bigs developing a 3 point shot.

Is DeAndre Jordan going to get more than that?

Kyle O'Quinn maybe? He got buried in Indiana, but I always thought he was solid

Haven't you heard.   He is the key piece to get Durant now.

Hayward was on a podcast and said Williams was working hard on his 3pt shot. Didn't say if it was going good or not, but at least he's working on it.

I've read it but thought it might be fake news
