Celtics Sign Mitchell Robinson

[Neurotic Guy]

I think it is crazy that Jalen Brunson actually took a pay cut to keep the Knicks core together, the Knicks win the title as a result of his sacrifice and James Dolan immediately states he has no interest in going into the secondary cap apron, and the Knicks lose their depth.

Obviously the Knicks lose is the Celtics gain, but if I was a Knicks fan, the only way I would financially support the team is when James Dolan is dead.

Seriously, people call the Celtics ownership cheap, but they did not pull that kind of stunt.  KAT was ready to take a pay cut on an extension too.

It?s a slap in the face to NYK to sign with the Celtics. Must feel Ray Allen-like to Knicks fans.

Totally agree.  While the Knicks/Celts didn't play each other in the ECF this year, many people believe the C's were the Knicks' toughest competition in the conference if Tatum could have stayed healthy.

100% agree with you, our fanbase can be too hard on the Celtics owners, we are fortunate in comparison.

What makes Dolan and his tight purse strings more egregious is the fact he also owns Madison Square Garden, MSG would be a cash cow for Dolan.

Knicks fans need to remember Allen turned down more money to stay in Boston to go to Miami.  Knicks are filling out their roster with minimum contracts.

Do you think they clued Mitch into the JB trade before he chose to come here?

[Celtics4ever]

I doubt it, I was elated with this signing, dumbstruck by the trade that followed.

[Phantom255x]

Now Robinson probably having second thoughts about signing this deal lol

I don't think he will be. Not many other teams would have been willing to give him all that money with his injury record. Nevermind a better team than BOS.

I'm not saying it just because of the 2 missed FTs at the end, but he's been disappointing as a whole to start the year. Idk if it's a bit of championship fatigue from the Knicks, and/or just being a bit out of shape but he's looked very sluggish out there and also isn't really grabbing boards like he did with the Knicks. Need more out of him. The frontcourt rotation kind of worries me in a long season, each guy has glaring flaws and nobody is truly consistent. I feel like come trade deadline, they'll again be looking to add a depth center like they did Vucevic last year or even Tillman 2024.

wouldn't be completely surprised if they're sellers instead of buyers.  Move Mitchell and White for young prospects and picks could be in play if they don't get it together by the deadline

mrob looks very clumsy and slow.

we have no big guys witha  midrange game or can shoot threes like KP and al horford

we really need that support. not happy with our center situation at all.

PG cannot be counted on with all the games he has missed in the past.

gonna need huge mights often outta d white and hauser and PP. oh well.

team is missing some things.

[Boston Garden Leprechaun]

Not loving spending that kind of money on a center with zero offense who can?t make free throws.

It's not exactly a buyer's market for bigs. They may have had to overpay a little bit. But he fills a huge need.

Healthy Mitchell Robinson was our kryptonite.  Would much rather have him on the team than not.  Key word is healthy, but he absolutely elevates our ceiling.

been bad so far

no offensive game

shoots free throws like a high schooler or worse

Wouldn?t be surprised if Walsh and Robinson get similar minutes. And Garza (and Cenac if I dream big) get some minutes to mix things up.

Still feel that way. Hopefully Mitch can get it together. He is likable enough
