Confirmed that one of Brad Stevens? first calls was to @KentBazemore20. The two faced off in college, so they know each other well. #Celtics

Defensive guard who has some potential offensively...

Bradley or Rondo may be gone? Be patient, I'm sure the Celtics are looking for a center.

You can either slant it that we're trading Rondo...

or you can grasp at old straws and say we're still looking to trade Smart + Young + Sully + Oly + picks for Kevin Love... and we'll need someone to back up Rondo and Bradley.

Wow are these rumors or confirmed we called Thomas and Bazemore first? DA even said we need some rim protection! I loved the draft but Ainge is losing me with these calls.
You can't reason someone out of a position they didn't reason themselves into.

Sounds like an insurance policy if Avery Bradley leaves. A defensive combo guard.

Bring Bazemore in and let him compete with James Young for backup SG minutes.

Smart is so strong with such a long wingspan... he can play some center, right ;)

Did the Lakers give Bazemore a qualifying offer, or are they letting him go?

This is exactly what it is IMO.

A bigger guard than Avery who may not be as good of a defender but has similar intensity and mentality on guarding the ball handler. 

And an energy guy off the bench, like, he does bring up the energy level.

No, no.

You mistook that with the reaction from fans at Timberwolves games.

We did give Chris Johnson, Babb and Pressey a lot of minutes last year, I think they are trying to make sure htat doesn't happen again.
