They replaced a declining old guy who wasn't even being played at the end of the season with one of the toughest and most consistently underrated bigs in the league.

They replaced KO with a Morris twin, who is almost 1/3 of the price of KO.

And to say that adding Hayward for Bradley merely improves offensive consistency is ridiculous. GH is on the same tier of player as PG13 easily, and is also a good defender of wings.

It's absurd to say we're not much better than we were last season.

I don't even know where to begin with the amount of crazy in that post, so I'll just say that we disagree and leave it at that.

ha ha ha...i must be on cb if we have 10 pages on a career backup center.  ;D this is why i love this place.

watched the "highlights" and he looks to be a 31 year old zizic who has slowed down.  ;D

glad the celtics picked up baynes. one more tough, physical player will help and it will give zizic a chance to develop.

ainge is doing amazing things.

well at least baynes should be tougher than tyler zeller.  but zeller was pudding soft. lol

all baynes needs to do mainly is grab rebounds and play defense.

not an amazing addition but a necessary one for a cheap price.

btw what is KCP doing since we are adding all these pistons players? lol

How is that crazy to say that they aren't much better than before?

Psyched for training camp and preseason.

barring any out of the blue trades, yep. that should do it. the depth on that roster is good.

Did the Bradley trade open up enough space to sign Yabu? Last I heard he had to be stashed another year to open up enough space to sign Hayward.

I love this signing. It's exactly what we needed in terms of rounding out our roster.

For the critics that are pointing out his age - this is not a long-term solution. We needed a rebounder and a tough interior presence and that's exactly what Baynes brings to the table. He may not even play more than 15 minutes a game, but he'll give us solid production without a doubt. Zaza played a similar role for GSW and it worked well for them.
