Bertans AND IT in Boston?

I had thought of that, wouldnt take much, IT knows the system, and would add a great scoring spark off the bench along with Bertans.

Less than 30 mins to go and nothing yet for the Celtics.

Lot of excitement, but probably nothing going to happen

every year...its just the same...

I know Danny values chemistry but I think this year - you need to upgrade and go for it.

The big set up...to end with a nothing burger.

I'm surprised we haven't heard much on guys like Saric or Bjelica.

Weird trade for Cavs

But Drummond only really worth a 2nd?

Yes.

Drummond to Cavs lololol

Must include Thompson? Or Love? Love and Griffin together is like a 2014 superteam.


EDIT: Brandon Knight and John Henson, who I'm told are still in the league. Straight salary dump by Detroit unless there's more.

Drummond has to be the guy with the biggest gap between how teams in real life value him and how good the advanced stats (mainly PER / WS) value him due to his rebounding.

Yeah but the team that traded him valued him enough for a max!

There's an interesting story to be told about the Drummond/Monroe/Josh Smith Pistons and its steady dissolution as the last gasp of the conventional big men with no perimeter skills approach.

Can't imagine Drummond will plan to resign there?

D'Angelo Russell to Minnesota, Andrew Wiggins to GSW.

That is quite the haul for GSW. I wonder what protections are on that pick. I hope that pans out for them.

I'd love to see Wiggins up his game in GSW. I still kinda like him despite all his flaws & coasting. Hopefully being on a title contender brings the best out of him.

Happy to see D-Russell go to Minnesota. Don't like that guy. Don't like that team. I wish them bad luck together. Hopefully the beginning of the end for Towns in Minnesota.

To dump the Iguodala contract in the summer, GSW gave up their own 2024 1st (top 4 protected, then becomes top 1 protected 2025, unprotected 2026). It evens out with this MIN top 3 protected 2021 1st (becomes unprotected 2022) + the Wiggins contract

Ainge wants to hold on to these end of bench guys + mediocre picks to keep adding a bunch of Yabusele's

Just as fans get down, rumors tease them right back up.

So much clickbait out there knowing good and well nothing is going to happen.
