Celtics/NBA 2022-23 NBA Off-Season

[Mione134]

Took LeBron 8 years until he won his 1st. We're gonna be okay folks. We're gonna be okay. This shit stings. But we got a good core. Just need some tweaks here and there. We will be back.

Rob deserves to rest until Christmas

He showed up to play tonight

Unto next year, they guaranteed Horford's contract, which was a mistake. They need to acquire a good pg, and a pf/c, dump Smart and get something of a bench. Tough work for Brad.

They guaranteed the final 5 mil of it, the rest of it had already gauranteed by reaching the finals.

Curry is one hell of a player. I never knew how good until this series. Credit to Klay Thompson, Poole, and the other resources on the bench for the Warriors.

Congrats to them for winning the Championship Series.

He showed up to play tonight

He played with fire and energy. And we know that knee ain't right. He genuinely deserves to rest until Christmas. Heck, if they won tonight it would of been because of him. He stepped up

I just think guys need to get healthy and they need to add one more bonafide rotation piece on the bench that can score. Easier said than done but they’ve got some tools to make it work


Bench got absolutely worked late in this series and I think it’s because White/Williams are too inconsistent offensively. Need a steadier offensive presence that isn’t a liability on D to help them out more. I’ll find myself perusing rosters until I find a few fits

Their bench isn’t really that good though. Grant Williams and Pritchard are really just meh when it comes down to it. They need other vet players who can step in and stop these shit runs when they happen. A guy who’s been there and won before. As great is Horford is, he’s really a career loser and he’s very old now. And I don’t even mean that rudely.

A vet scorer off the bench is needed desperately. I’d prefer a upgrade at PG. Since it won’t happen I’ll settle for more vet influence and a deeper bench

Yeah that's right, thank you. I will take a Smart trade and a real pg any way I can get it, just saying.........

Celtics need a bench scorer for when Tatum and brown sit and a legit point guard to run the offense. Need a real floor general to run the offense. Either move smart to the 2 and horford to the bench or just smart to the bench, either way. Someone needs to run the offense though. They need to do something to solve the turnover issue and not have brown and Tatum initiate the offense as much.

It will be interesting to find out the injuries they played with. Who needs surgery in the offseason. The Celtics were better on paper but the Warriors were experienced and also had off the bench strength the Celtics lacked.

Hopefully we will add some help and have a better season.

Be honest, how many if you were thinking the Celtics in the Championship Series? Most I know were thinking making the playoffs. So here we are, game 6, of the Championship Series. IMO win or lose I had Curry as the series MVP. I was thinking Brown through game 4, but injuries or mental pressure made him a liability game 5 and 6. BTW we had a rookie coach against Steve Kerr, what a mismatch. As I said, the Celtics didn't have a player like Curry, he was the best.

Thanks Celtics, looking forward to next season.

Well it was a weird year as they were by far the most underachieving team in the game the first half of the year, and then obviously played great the second half. And it's not like it was change of players as they improved dramatically long before they made the trade.

I think preseason not making the second round would have been considered a disappointing season, but obviously make the finals was not what anyone was thinking would happen. Injuries as other things really opened up the East, and the Celts took advantage.

they come back next year with expectations, but a lot is going to change around the East over the next 2 months, So it will be interesting to see next October who the favorites in the East will be

I would not be so sure about Smart staying/pg. They have added White and drafted three in three years for a reason.

At the very least we got Eddie House outta this season.

Us old guys just keep getting older.

I don't think the Celtics will find it any easier to get back to the finals and this could be the only trip of the Tatum and Brown era. The Nets imploding and trading Harden opened up the path to the finals for everyone in the east and it just takes a team with 2 stars to add another that fits well and it could close the window for everyone besides a healthy Bucks.

There’s no PG waiting in the wings on this roster. A new pg would have to come from outside. The only feasible options are Brogdon or Conley, both of which would be fine but probably not possible due to $. I’d also be hesitant to bring either one in since they don’t really have overly successful winning track records. But Brogdon does interest me.

Celtics have 3 stars if Timelord is healthy.

draft bronny in 2024 and have lebron run the point

Been saying Brogdon for a month now......I don't think Conley can defend a chair anymore. I do not expect, Madar to come in and save the day.

If you told me earlier in the season that we'd make the playoffs, let alone the NBA Finals, I would have laughed in your face.


It sucks to lose, but I genuinely had no expectations. They came together and went of a run and they hit a rut. Game 4 was the one they needed. Excited to see what Brad does with the team and upgrading the roster.

From Oct- early May I was in a depressive state. It was hard trying to watch the Bruins and this team. And then comes the playoffs. I had anxiety watching AND have anxiety in general, they both gave me a good escape, even if it didn't work out how i wouldve liked. I appreciate the escape. Ive been out of the darkness for a month now and it feels good. Hope the Sox can make it interesting going forward.

Much love to y'all here. to next season.

You know Lebron is looking to mooch one off this roster lol

And then he and FSG buy the team.

 

[CDJ]

And then he and FSG buy the team.

And move it to Vegas

They'll implode in the playoffs. We're still in the WC. So I'm just enjoying the ride

And move it to Vegas

And Bruce Cassidy becomes the coach.

The End.

They can trade for anyone in the league money wise before July 13th (I think) with the trade exception and roster pieces of they're truly willing to move some salary.

Creating an enticing package is another story.
