2026-27 Celtics Off Season Discussion

[Goldstar88]

1. Trade for either Goga Bitzdale or Isaiah Stewart (Hauser + picks), fit into TPE as needed

2. Sign Timelord, Nurkic, Porzingis or Mamu using MLE

3. Add another guard or wing via small trade or signing. Possible names: Grimes, Simons, Melton or Sexton.

What are people's thoughts?

I personally would love Coby White or Ayo Dosunmu but it's probably not realistic given they will command 18-20M+ AAV. The 4 others I listed seem more realistic, but if you could work a way to acquire Ayo or Coby White and stay under the repeater tax with the other moves I'm all for it.

I don?t think Detroit would make that trade for Hauser. Stewart is a much better player and they already have Duncan Robinson. Orlando does need more shooting, so maybe they?d be interested in Sam, however, I wouldn?t be interested in Blitzdale since Boston already has Queta.

I?d love to bring back Timelord and/or KP. I?m also a fan of Grimes. He is a good 2-way player. Pass on Sexton and Simons.

What about WCJ from the Magic?

Sure, but why would the Magic want to move Carter Jr. He is their starting center on a team friendly contract.

Oh I thought I read somewhere they would look into trading him depending on what other moves they make this offseason

This pretty much aligns with my thoughts. Joe will know exactly what he can do with these frontcourt alumni.

Get a center from the WC: Timelord, KP or possibly John Collins.

I think your plan has us using the MLE twice, since there's no way any of those guards take the minimum.  And, that's about $35 million or so in new salary, which means we'd have to dump more than Hauser to stay under the first apron (which would be our hard cap).

Dump White, or even Jordan Walsh

Dumping White to add one of those guys makes us worse, and letting Walsh go barely saves us anything.

[celticinorlando]

I do not think anything big happens. They run it back as is with a few minor additions that really do not move the needle.

Don't think Brown gets moved.

But a starting line up of Brown, White, Tatum, Queta and Sam just is not very good. They really need two legit starters so those guys come off the bench.

Make the bench better also.
