Celtics Sign Mike Conley Jr.

[Goldstar88]

Feels like PP is the starting PG now.

Should leave Boston with some good money to address the other needs they have...unless those come in a trade

Why, did D-White get moved?

[slamtheking]

Why? He was barely playing for Minny before they traded him. Then he was waived and came back to the wolves. I?m sure he is great in the locker room, but he is a shell of himself.

He is a Max Shulga replacement.  That is an upgrade.

I'd be an upgrade on Max Shulga.  they should have just paid me for a lower league min.  I'd be great in the locker room too.

Someone has to start with him in the backcourt....

Right, White at PG, JB at SG. Both guys are still on the team at this time.

[Who]

How many minutes a game are we giving him? 12-15?

Zero = 3rd string PG behind Pritchard & D White

Emergency use only.

I would rather have Vucevic for the money.

Vucevic is probably better value, but we still need to see what we do at center. We have a lot of money left to spend. I wish we had gone for Stewart or Claxton

I think Mazzula should start Baylor instead.

G: D White, Pritchard, Conley
G: Baylor, J Walsh / Hugo
F: Jaylen, Hauser

I'd start Baylor ahead of J Walsh & Hugo because Baylor can make a jump-shot consistently. The other 2 haven't shown that. If they do show that, they move ahead of Baylor.

Correct.  We are trying to replace Vooch with someone for the rotation.  Conley is a break-glass option and locker room voice.  If we get an actual center, Vooch would be an unhappy 3rd stringer.

This feels like the Sam Cassel signing back in ?08.

I would rather Hugo because I think the energy he plays with is elite, but really the starting lineup is White, Brown, Tatum, Queta/MLE center and one of Scheierman, Hugo, Walsh, Hauser, or I guess Harper Jr.  PP remains first off the bench but likely 4th in mpg.

That worked well enough.

[lbgreen33]

maybe this means we are bringing in Greg Oden?

[Kuberski33]

I'm trying to come up with a reason why you do this after you just gave Harper Jr a multi year deal.

[gift]

he can still win you a random 5 minute stretch of a game here and there.

I am guessing they see Harper Jr as more of a wing as opposed to a PG.
