Celtics/NBA Off-Season/Draft - Celtics complete sign-and-trade, send Gordon Hayward to Hornets

Not gonna sit here and tell you it doesn’t suck that he just walked for nothing but:

1) I feel like they’ve been without him most of the time anyway and they played fine. Beat some good teams in the playoffs without him. Heck some fans think they’re better without him.

2) we can’t really do much if another organization wants to be a kamikaze and sign our free agent with an injury history on the wrong side of 30 for what amounts to $40 mill a year out of their pockets


I also don’t think they are winning this year anyway, with or without Hayward. It kind of let’s us put all of our eggs into the Tatum/Brown timeline instead of trying to juggle the Kemba/Hayward and Tatum/Brown timeline all at once

Agree.

But unless you are handing the title to LA we are in that group of teams who can win. Sucks Miami caught fire and played out of their minds because we play LA far better than they did and possibly win a 7 game series.

I think we have 3 players better than Kemba and Hayward in Brown/Tatum/Smart. I don't think we need a star.

Just think it comes down to how good of a big can we get to replace Kanter and you neet a vet that doesn't suck to replace Semi who was bad to help the second unit which stunk last year. I feel the young guys will do well. Our second unit one way or another will be better.

Timelords play in the playoffs was encouraging to me. They desperately need depth though

To be fair to Robyn, being in a new town with 3 kids by yourself in a big house, I too would be scared. So I dont seem to see the problem with what she said. When pregnant with the son, fans were terrible to her. I wish them all well. I wish it would of worked out here

The hashtag fire Danny Ainge is starting to pick up some steam.

The hashtag fire Danny Ainge is starting to pick up some steam.

Yeah just like when he drafted Jaylen Brown and traded the #1 pick to pick Tatum

 

[Maine Fan]

Hayward seems overrated. I'd prefer him coming off the bench

IMO he is overrated and I prefer him GONE. He was a waste as a Celtic.

 

[GlenFeatherstone]

Celtics signed Tristan Thompson. 2/$19

 

[CDJ]

That’s a big signing

we got rebounding!!!!!!


Wanamaker to golden state

 

[BernieMcAvoy]

Wanamaker to the Warriors. Perfect fit for him, he's great on catch and shoot opportunities but not much else. With the warriors he'll be a off ball 2 guard more often which is really what he should be in the nba

 

[Gator Mike]

Tristan Thompson's a nice fit with the Celtics.

Celtics still have the Bi-Annual Exception and a couple of trade exceptions they can use to fill out their roster.

 

[CDJ]

Semi and Theis just got guaranteed

 

[Gator Mike]

Here's hoping Semi doesn't take too many minutes away from Nesmith and Langford.

 

[CDJ]

Something interesting about Thompson- he started shooting 3’s a little bit last year and actually shot them well. We’ll see if that trend continues and he starts to take 1-2 a game. Underrated passer for a big too

 

[DiggityDog]

Tristan is a really good addition. The Celtics need depth scoring and rebounding. Obviously they aren’t done, this is a good start given the Hayward mess

 

[Gator Mike]

My vote for the last roster spot... Shaq Harrison.

 

[N o o d l e s]

Signed Jeff Teague

RANDOM

 

[Gator Mike]

For what it's worth:

2019-20 Tristan Thompson (per 100 possessions)
19.3 points
16.3 rebounds
1.4 blocked shots
3.4 assists
2020-21 salary: ~$9.5 million

2019-20 Myles Turner (per 100 possessions)
19.9 points
10.8 rebounds
3.5 blocked shots
1.9 assist
2020-21 salary: $18.0 million


And that, boys and girls, is why Myles Turner plus filler was a non-starter for the Celtics.

 

[BernieMcAvoy]

Signed Jeff Teague

RANDOM

Would rather have IT

What does Charlotte have that we could want?

 

[Gator Mike]

What does Charlotte have that we could want?

Nothing. If a trade goes down, I'd think it would look something like this...

To Charlotte:
F Gordon Hayward
Future 2nd round draft pick

To Boston:
Top 58-protected future 2nd round draft pick
$30 million trade exception

Why would the Celtics do this? Because they could then use that $30 million trade exception to acquire a player. For instance, they could throw a crap ton of money at someone like Bogdan Bogdanovic to work out their own sign-and-trade.

Celtics signed Tristan Thompson. 2/$19

I like it !

 

[CDJ]

Love the Teague pick up


and now we may have an exception coming????? Started from the bottom now we here!

 

[N o o d l e s]

Only thing I could even think of that’s attractive would be Miles Bridges
