Celtics/NBA 2023-2024 Regular Season

[rocketdan9]

I like the trade proposal Celtics with the Pacers.

Brodgon, Pritchard, RW III, 2024 first round pick & 2027 first round pick

FOR

Myles Turner

Another Big.

Do it Brad

Thats an insane overpay

RW3 alone would do the trick.

 

[N o o d l e s]

Myles Turner is not that good wtf Lmao

 

[Maine Fan]

Good God no - that's waaaaaay too much for Myles Turner. Yeah it's adding " another big " but you are trading away " another big " too.

The trading of Robert Williams III who is injury prone and can't shoot for Myles Turner who is 6' 11" and can score and is available to play gives the Celtics 2 bigs that can play and score plus one that requires managed rest.

Thats an insane overpay

RW3 alone would do the trick.

Every team knows he is I jury prone, is a head job at time, can't shoot so alone is no where near enough.

Why would Indiana be willing to take Brogdon back, they were thrilled to get rid of him. The trade doesn't work of course because Indiana is taking in 38 million and sending out 20 million. Myles Turner is a significantly better player than 2023 Robert Williams, but he is not exactly a pillar of health himself averaging 50 games per season the past 3 years.

From Indiana POV Brogdon and PP add next to nothing of value as Indiana is already very deep in the backcourt with young talent, so you'd need a third team to take Brogdon. PP is just a bottom 5 roster body at this point. And they get a late first in the turd 2024 draft, and likely a late first in 2027

From the Celtics POV, this trade would eliminate any depth the Celtics have in the backcourt

This is absurd in the other direction. Turner is a substantially better player, especially versus the version of RW we saw in 2023, it was a closer comparison in 2022

 

[CDJ]

Turner gets absolutely abused by Joel Embiid to the point where Joel openly talks about it. And not even in a derisive way, and that makes it so much worse! He almost takes pity on him!

Not interested! Timelord better, he just plays for an actually good team

I just wanna say that Russell > Wilt. Wilt won 2 rings playing with 2 of the top 7 PPG scorers ever Baylor and West. What did Russell do:

C Russell - 22.5 RPG

• Hall of Fame
  12x All Star in 13 seasons
• 4x TRB Champ
• 11x NBA Champ in 13 seasons
• 11x All-NBA in 13 seasons
• 5x MVP
• 1962-63 AS MVP
• 1968-69 All-Defensive
• NBA 75th Anniv. Team

• NBA 75th Anniv. Team

Chamberlain - 22.9 RPG

Chamberlain also has the 3 best rebounding seasons.

Chamberlain played one full season with Baylor. Played 10 seasons before going to LA.

Won't even bother comparing scoring numbers.

Turner is injury prone also

He can shoot a little but RWilliams is a better defender

 

[pgm16]

Let's see if Williams can develop that jumper in the off season

 

[Troublesome 85]

People back on Turner? Wasnt that like 2 seasons ago?

Brown just got the richest deal in history

Gtfo lmao

 

[Tufted Titmouse]

Celtics are paying Jaylen Brown and Porzingis a combine 91m next season, wtf is happening

 

[dugg133]

Gtfo lmao

only until the next guy signs, this is just how the economics of the NBA work. End of the day this was a contract the Celts had to sign.

 

[Maine Fan]

I hope Jaylen Brown is happy now. I also hope that he is working on not turning over the ball so much, improving his shooting from the free throw line, the accuracy of his passing the ball, his defensive play, and finally his selection of shots, he must learn that he can't dribble through 3 defenders without losing the ball. I know that is asking one player to learn a lot at one time but if you are the highest-paid player in the NBA and with the Celtics, these must not be issues every game and during the playoffs.

Good luck Jaylen.

If you think you had stress before wait til you make a series of these issues. Jaylen lighten up on the city of Boston you are making your $304 Million there, so love it with your mouth shut.

Go Celtics

Jaylen Brown, Celtics finally agree to super-max contract extension that locks in forward for the long haul - The Boston Globe

The five-year, $304 million deal ensures that Brown will be part of the core for the long term as the team pursues its first NBA title since 2008.

www.bostonglobe.com

At 12:01 a.m. on July 1, forward Jaylen Brown was eligible to agree to a five-year, $304 million super-maxextension with the Celtics.

But then hours turned into days and days turned into weeks without a deal, even as less-heralded stars around the league such as LaMelo Ball, Tyrese Haliburton, and Desmond Bane agreed to super-max extensions of their own.

All along, though, sources on both sides stressed that there was no concern about the contract. And on Tuesday, a league source confirmed, Brown and the Celtics agreed to the five-year deal that will become the most lucrative in NBA history.

The source says the deal does not include a fifth-year player option like the one Jayson Tatum received when he signed a five-year extension in 2020, perhaps a mild concession by Brown’s camp.

But the source said the deal, which will start during the 2024-25 season, does include a trade kicker, which is essentially a bonus a team must pay the player if he is traded. Brown cannot be traded for at least one year after signing this extension.

Ain’t just a celtics thing, it’s an NBA economics thing. Porzingis at his number is good value for the team tbh

 

[JoeIsAStud]

If everyone stays the year after it will be around 150 million for Brown, Tatum, Porzingis. Most likely won't have all 3, but you never know

I wish my parents were taller and that I had learned to play basketball better. $304M doesn't entitle Brown to shoot off his mouth about Boston and the Celtic's fans. $304 M doesn't allow constant mistakes while playing the game.
$304M brings lots of pressure and stress from many sources since the majority of Celtic fans didn't think he was worth or deserved that super max money. It will be about what are you doing for us now.

 

[KrejciMVP]

60 mill a year and stunk up the arena vs the 8th seed

 

[N o o d l e s]

Hopefully he’s traded next year after still not being able to dribble or make a free throw in the playoffs

 

[Mione134]

He won't be a Celtic in 3 years so you better hope you win next year. That's just the truth.

 

[Johnnyduke]

Just heard Felger say this but it's a good point...I wonder if Jaylen is finally happy now! He's had it so tough here.

 

[Over the volcano]

Love it for him and for the city - hopefully they will do some good for each other

 

[bbfan419]

Way too much money for Brown, he is a good player, but not a true #1 go to guy, if we had to I would have traded him for help elsewhere on the lineup.

 

[pgm16]

I am optimistic, this will be an even more interesting year than last year.
