Trade Deadline News (Celtics get Tillman, Jaden Springer)

[liam]

I still think Boston adds a buyout player.

I would've thought Thad Young but Tillman makes that redundant.

They could still grab Young or Drummond if either gets bought out

Can Thad still play?

[Who]

Tillman is a great pickup. Exactly what Boston needed. A 3rd big bodied big (width) to go along with Horford and Porzingis. They now have the size they need to matchup against any frontline.

Can we dump Drew Peterson and get Killian Hayes on a two way? It'd like to see what they could do with him in Maine. He's just 22...

[Vermont Green]

Seems like the Celtics are done.  We get Tillman for Stevens.  That should at worst be a modest upgrade and at best it could be a solid addition.  That is what I thought Muscala would be last season, but I was wrong.

Now we turn to the buyout watch.  I saw a list from a couple days ago on Spotrac (in alphabetical order I believe).  Not a lot to get excited about.

Bertans
Drummond
Fournier
Gallinari
Harris
Hayward
Landale
Lowry
McDermott
Mills
Monte Morris
Muscala
Oladipo
Olynyk
Osman
Porter
Tucker
Wright
Young

7'2" wingspan....

edit: just checked Rob's wingspan was between 7'4" and 7'6" depending what was your source.

Yeah, he gives us another dimension up front.

Yeah, he's big and long. He fits as the 5th option on the floor. He was having a rough year in Memphis because he was bumped up to a top 4  player on the team. Here he's 8th or 9th...

Weird Sixers moves, dealing with rivals. 

And why are we taking on an inefficient SG?

"Indiana Pacers acquire Doug McDermott from San Antonio Spurs. Spurs acquire Marcus Morris and second round pick, per Shams."

The Sixers are packing it in.

I don’t know anything about Springer. What’s his story? He a project or can he actually crack the back half of our rotation?

[celticinorlando]

Springer?

Well there is the final spot. Can he even play?

Not much to know. He's 21.

Curious if we’re also sending a min player in return.
