It is mind boggling the talent that danny has acquired next year even more
It is getting backed up with some unique players with elite athleticism ,length or strength
So far i'm not upset at any players being let go-Brad made them all better Sully,Kelly,
Turner,Jerebco,Amir
But we are hearing Crowder ,Smart ,Bradley-i have grown very fond of that group
I am am thrilled by athleticism of Semi Ojeleye and he can shoot but then i am a fan of Nader(a fan) and missing Yabusele
The point is the Celtics could be back in the lottery again.This is a dynasty being built and there will be casualties
So i expect to wake up and see some very good players on the block.

Thought Zizic struggled so i looked up elevation and its high enough to cause a 7 footer problems-

I would look for Bradley and Crowder to hit the road .


I saw no welcome tweets from them to Hayward ,  Smart sent greetings to Gordon .


Can 't keep everyone .


Cars and top speed and NBA and Talent are simular .  Alot of people can aford a Mustang car that will do 150 mph .  A few cars will run 175 top speed .  But only a handfull can pass the magic top speed of 200 mph .  To make that last  leap of 25 mph takes a ton of money ...4X more what it took to get the first 150 mph run .

Same with players .  There are only very few at Haywards age and level , they are extremely expensive , but necessary to make that leap .

A team of Crowders and Bradley ...you 'll run 150-175 for ever .....never see 200 mph .

That last bit of rare excellence costs a butt load.  It hard to pry talent like Hayward or George off teams .

TP shaq---its bradley i'm sad to see go as his game is just evolving and add his defense plus age.
What are we going to get back for these guys -how about a Willie Cauly Stein or Nerlens Noel.
Isaiah makes me nervous as i alwayd posted enjoy his genius because how many times can he take the collision with the hardwood floor before something gives.Two way players also have a higher incidence of injury and that is bradley.

Most of us applauded this team first steps -Jerebco, Gigi and IT and that west coast trip

It's telling that it was just Thomas and Horford that were in for the Hayward meetings, even though Bradley is the player with the longest tenure on this team...

I don't follow this enough to know but does AB use his twitter that much or that way?

It's a good problem to have, but I wonder if some of the players stuck on the bottom end might get grumpy. They deserve a chance to play and if we're not going to use them it might be smart to make a deal. Ojeleye, Nader, and Yabusele as wing types would seem to have no chance of playing for this team currently, especially if they keep Crowder.

If they could be moved for a C or guard depth, that might be the best. We're probably going to lose Smart, and Bradley may follow next year. Rozier is a nice backup, but they need more than just him and Demetrius Jackson ain't looking like he's the one. After that, they need a big man to develop besides Zizic.

Sure he does. He made sure everyone knows how many people were confused by him not making first team all-defense.

TP for a really good analogy.

It's really weird to think we have a "Big 3" of IT, Horford and Hayward *and* possibly a "Young Guns 4" coming through the ranks of Brown, Tatum, BKYN 18 and LAL 18. Holy hell that's an embarrassment of riches.
Jaylen Brown will be an All Star in the next 5 years.

I'll be interested to see who becomes the better player between Ojeleye and Yabusele.
