Most underrated dirty player, Jeff Teague highlights

He needs lessons from Smart on restraint and managing emotions

Him and Smart together with Thompson is going to be quite something!

Team got nastier and tougher. I dig it

We can now use a backup wing or backup big to replace the loss of Hayward and Kanter/Porier

Didn't we draft a wing and isn't Thompson a big.

Like a three man tag team!

why did they sign Teague.... are they planning to flip some players?

Wanamaker left

what about Pritchard, Waters, Edwards....play these people or move them.

Waters is the pg for Maine Claws. Practice player

Edwards is a spot up 3 specialist... or hopefully becomes one ala Eddie House.

More than spot-up, he shoots off the dribble.

we've needed a couple of goons for a while now we have Teague and Thompson.

Finally the TEAM I want for the Cs is being built. They are getting some tough guys. Will Brad be able to handle this.

To the poster that mentioned Tatum getting playing time as a Rookie, that was because of Hayward's injury.

I thought Tatum was starting on opening night next to Hayward?

I'd say Edwards' problem is the spot up shooting and he is actually a good pull up/ rythm shooter. Look at his college or Red claw games he is a much better shooter when he has the ball and pulls up. He is below age spot up shooter. This is why I consider him a better PG than SG. Let him dribble into the shot, it's what he does well so why fight it.

Theis / Thompson / Williams
Tatum / Williams / Semih
Brown / Langford / Nesmith
Smart  / Edwards
Kemba / Teague / Pritchard

Room for one more?

Need a combo forward to slot in ahead of Grant Williams and Semi. They should not be relied on for regular minutes next season.

Maybe Grant's not ready for big rotation minutes on a contender this coming year, but I liked his rookie season. What did you think?

Oh yeah, I liked it too. He is just too much of a tweener (PF/C) for now. He has to improve that perimeter jump-shot to show himself worthy of a place in the rotation (as PF). The rest of his game looks solid.

He did improve that perimeter jump shot. After he missed his first 29 or so shots, he went 33.9% for the rest of the regular season and then shot 56.8% in the playoffs.

I am not expecting Grant to be a 56% three point shooter but given he just seemed to get better and better as the year went on, I don't think it outrageous to think he could be a 35+% three point shooter next year.

I'd go giles or illysova(sp) if they can get them with the TPE.  BU for tatum and allow brown to play more SG.  Unless we can get a TPE for hayward still...then the sky is the limit...

Lots of people saying that somehow Waters is a part of this team. All the C's have done is put in a qualifying offer for his two way spot. They could pull that at anytime and he is gone.

Waters has yet to sign a Celtics contract. So for those saying if he isn't good enough to warrant rotation minutes next year then dump him.....well....they still might. He is not yet on next year's team. Neither is Tacko.

Ainge is so bad at this job now.

I think I'm getting as much enjoyment from seeing anti-Ainge campaigners like you cry as I am from our veteran signings

And haven't heard a single rumor about other teams being interested.

Love that Teague isn't afraid to whack bigger guys like LeBron or Crowder
