Based on what?

Absolutely nothing. Literally every Celtics-affiliated person talking about the rest of the summer says there's still moves to make this offseason yet.
Recovering Joe Skeptic, but inching towards a relapse.

I don't recall when rookies can be traded but maybe around that time we might see another deal.

It's 30 days after they sign, or any time before they sign

I don't see any of the Rookies getting traded though (I think the only reason Brown hasn't signed is to keep more cap room open, since we will likely sign him for 120% of the rookie scale, but his cap hold is equal to the rookie scale)
I'm bitter.

It's always more likely than not that nothing happens, so if you forced me to bet on even odds I'd say we're done every time. Who knows though?


Great words from a great man

I mean I thought they would be but Ainge trotted out and specifically said we need to add ball handling and a center. So...maybe not?

I don't know why they put themselves in these positions if they are just standing pat.

Since I'm gullible I believe Ainge when he said we aren't done.

Celtics still probing for deals. Some offers still standing, but right now nothing imminent. (Though all it takes is 1 call to change that)

They moved on from Sully, because they are confident they can make a deal. I took the above tweet to mean something like, the Celtics are going after Boogie, but could accept a deal already on the table for Okafor if they can't get Boogie.
DKC:  Rockets
CB Draft: Memphis Grizz
Players: Klay Thompson, Jabari Parker, Aaron Gordon
Next 3 picks: 4.14, 4.15, 4.19

personal guess:
85% odds all we do is sign a vet big man to back up Amir and Al.  Code even be Zeller.

15% odd they swing a deal with Philly for either Noel or Okafor

How's Jordan Hill nowadays? He used to look like a good option as a backup center a few years back. Is he worth considering?

I would hope they are aggressive.  Saw today Isaiah was already talking about big money in two years. Old ass horford isn't getting younger.  Bradley, crowder and smart are going to want cash.  This idea of rebuilding in NBA is silly to me.  By the time you start collecting players  you have to overpay and all these first round picks don't get enough playing time.   Time to package this thing and try to do something.

Based on Wyc basically saying nothing is close to happening.   Based on our roster being more or less set.  I think we need a consolidation trade, but with letting Sully walk it looks like we'll just keep the first rounders overseas and maybe keep two of the three 2nd rounders.  It sounds like we're done.  Sure, we'll keep listening on the phone and trying to fish for a winning deal, but we seem to be preparing for this to be our final roster.

I took that to mean they weren't done trying.  But they are probably done.

Also, I wouldn't read into the Sully move as a sign we are about to make a deal.  Our roster is at 13 with only two spots left for Sully, Zeller, Zizic, Yabu, and our three 2nd round picks Dingus, Minkis and Lingus.     I assume Zizic and Yabu stay overseas.   Maybe we bring back Zeller and keep one of the 2nd rounders.   Letting Sully walk probably had more to do with our roster being overloaded and the team wanting to move on from him.

We're done. I refuse to get my hopes up again. Maybe something small, but that's it.

Even if nothing is close to happening via trades, I could see us adding a vet or two. So No, most likely we are not done, however small it may be.
