Celtics/NBA Celtics/NBA 2018-2019 Regular Season II

[Alicat]

Beasley and Zubac from the Fakers to the Clippers for Muscala; which costs them a roster slot;

C's may cut bait with Jabari Bird for the same reason as the above

It should have happened a long time ago

 

[Mr Cartmenez]

Fultz finally done in Philly. It was a matter of time, especially after the latest drama of him having that dubios injury.

I don't root for players to fail, but boy he's probably the biggest bust oof all time. The guy is pump faking free throws. I legitimate feel bad for him. To some degree, he's still a multi-millionaire.

Philly could be having a dynasty by now, but they blew way too many picks. Embiid fell into their lap and Simmons was a lock at #1.

WELL, IF Bird isn't traded, Ainge will ask the League to resolve that situation..... it isn't helping Boston, Portland, because if they want to sign someone else who is being bought out, much like Monroe off the Hayward injury exception

 

[Mr Cartmenez]

Davis NOT traded. So the Celtics are in he drivers seat now.

Let's see if the tune from the AD camp changes over the next couple of months.

 

[CHRDANHUTCH]

the Jabari Bird situation has been resolved.....

he's now Atlanta's 'problem'

C's got a 2nd rounder

 

[McGarnagle]

 

[CHRDANHUTCH]

front runner for the open roster slot now that the J-Bird situation has been resolved looks to be Enes Kantor

 

[CHRDANHUTCH]

Jabari Bird final update:

Cash and Bird to ATL, the rumored 2nd rounder top 55 selection is not expected to be conveyed to the Celtics as Bird will be summarily waived by the Hawks.....

this will place the MLE back in to play, and whomever lands as the MLE, LIKELY will be a piece considered to be part of a package to acquire Anthony Davis

I like Kantor a lot but his off the court stuff scares me (it is political and I don't want to go ot or piss off the mods)

I was reading about him, interesting situation. Apparently since the Turkish government revoked his passport and citizenship when he supported the anti-Erdogan faction, he's legally a stateless person right now.

 

[CHRDANHUTCH]

Zach Randolph is also available

 

[Shaun]

sign kanter to big 2 year deal for salary matching purposes

Its a fascinating story and the way he's handled himself is inspiring.

Turkey also put out an arrest warrant out for him so he can't go to Europe or he will be brought back to Turkey and jailed if not worse.

 

[Troublesome 85]

I'd prefer Z-Bo over Kanter. Like Kanter he has off court issues tho..........

Bolded is exactly correct. They'll sign a buyout for 2 year MLE and use them as part of the salary matching this offseason.

Good move by Ainge to just make it go away and get a roster spot back.

yea, the Bird scenario was going to be resolved one way or the other, whether it was Atlanta or the League itself....

however, it doesn't help the Luxury Tax bill that Wyc, et all have to pay this season....

Zbo just got arrested for having his own personal dispensary I’m pretty sure lol EDIT- it was 2017. He also hasn’t played a minute this year

He's also in deep with a big gang. I cant remember which one. GD or something. Supposedly why he was traded from Memphis

 

[LSCII]

Did Rajon Rondo get traded? I ask because I've heard several times that he wouldn't and I need to make sure...

nope, New Orleans kept tweaking them.... that was only one proposal, keep in mind, AD hasn't been playing because of a finger injury in the midst of all of that "chatter"

 

[CHRDANHUTCH]

KG in the house tonight and wearing a Rondo jersey to boot, and the Patriots make a return appearance for the C's crowd

 

[CDJ]

Lakers trade Zubac and Beasley for Mike Muscala and are probably signing Carmelo....it’s beautiful


Fun fact about Muscala- he gets the highest % of open looks in the league and is a terrible shooter in those scenarios (35% lol)

 

[pgm16]

Brown looking like Brown from last year again tonight & Hayward looking good also.

 

[Alicat]

Celtics bench has been fantastic tonight

 

[Alicat]

Kyrie is having a hell of a 4th quarter
