Celtics Off-Season News

Brogdon has arrived in Boston and will be ready for training camp. “Everybody’s in Boston, everybody’s healthy, knock on wood,” Stevens said. “If everybody gets through the rest of the week, we should be full next Tuesday when we start practice. We’re excited about that.” – via Boston Globe

This Stevens statement was referenced above but I didn't see it stated that Brogdon was in fact in Boston.  That is great to hear.  Maybe this can all turn around and be a positive.  Maybe Brogdon plays with a chip on his shoulder, with a little more of an edge than what he normally does.

Has anyone every gotten back to back 6MoY awards?  Go get it Malcolm!

For this team to get to where they want to go they need a healthy Brogdon. He can provide so much for them.

3 people: McHale in '84 and '85, Detlef Schremf in '91 and '92, and Sweet Lou Williams in '18 and '19.

It would be awesome to be the first team with 2 players that did it. And with 2 more years under contract, why not go for the first person winning 3 in a row?

Good to hear..

Adam Himmelsbach: Per source, Kristaps Porzingis took part in his first scrimmage Wednesday since being shut down due to his foot injury. He looked good and had no issues.  – via Twitter AdamHimmelsbach

Interesting:

As the Blazers began to start serious trade talks across the league on Sept. 18, a bevy of teams — the Bucks, Boston Celtics, New Orleans Pelicans, Toronto Raptors, Minnesota Timberwolves and Chicago Bulls — all showed interest in Lillard, league sources said. Meanwhile, in Lillard’s camp, sources briefed on the matter said there was a realization that he would need to start seriously considering the prospect of playing somewhere other than Miami. – via The Athletic Staff, Shams Charania, Sam Amick @ The Athletic

I wonder what type of interest we showed.

While not quite as splashy as a trade for Damian Lillard or Jrue Holiday, the Boston Celtics continue to work on their roster for the 2023-24 NBA season, with Spotrac’s Keith Smith reporting that the Celtics have signed guard Jordan Schakel to an unguaranteed contract for training camp.

Schakel, an undrafted wing out of San Diego State University from the 2021 class, has since played for the Washington Wizards and their G League affiliate, the Capital City Go Gos, and most recently with the Santa Cruz Warriors, the developmental affiliate of the Golden State Warriors in that league.

There, the 6-foot-6 shooting guard put up 11.1 points, 4.7 rebounds, and 1.6 assists per game while shooting 40.7% from beyond the arc, 45.5% from the field, and 84.0% from the free throw line in 27 total appearances.

Plan the parade. Another one for the Brad Steven's Wayward Home for Marginal NBA Players. Stevens seems to be taking the Miami Heat route hoping he can strike gold with dudes off the scrap heap.

You know it’s just a camp invite, right?  Not even a two-way? Every team has players like this in their training camp this month.

He's a camp body. Every NBA team signs non-NBA level players like him for camp

He can be the new Dionte Christmas

I'm so glad that Stevens has learned his lessons from IT and Kyrie. Going after a talented offensive player at the expense of defense is a losing move. Culture is important, and 5 out of 5 guys need to to be able to dig in defensively.

Correct. In fact he’s already going to Maine.

Sounds like a good approach to keep an eye on him.

I thought we came to an agreement with him in August.
