Celtics/NBA Pre-Season Thread: Celtics, now owners of minor league Red Claws, say team will stay in Portland

Sixers losing Butler and JJ, maybe harris? But could be adding Horford.
Bucks probably losing Brogdon (Middleton got overpaid by a ton)
Us probably losing Horford, Rozier and Morris
And Durant will not be playing for Brooklyn in year 1

Seems like the band will be back in Toronto which would make them the overwhelming favorite in the east next year. But if Kawhi takes his talents to SoCal, the east would be wide open IMO.

Middleton is a good player but oh my god 178 million

Kanter to speak with Celtics via phone tonight

He’d be the guy I’d want most if Looney goes back to GS

If Kyrie goes to Brooklyn in a sign-and-trade, then technically he didn't lie about signing here this summer!

Saint Kemba imagine giving Terry 19 per after he mouthed off on ESPN. Suns offer was around there. Jordan probably gives him that to back up Kemba lololololololol. Luckily he wasn’t a UFA of course. And I’m a Terry fan I also like Kyrie for the record I’m not buying that Brown and Tatum are perfect and those 2 are evil. Glad we won’t see what Smart looks like as starting PG. I’m not sure we don’t match Terry’s Phoenix offer if we don’t get Kemba.

Sixers give Tobias Harris 5/180. That's gotta take them out of the Al talks.

 

[Mr Cartmenez]

I don't know what is going on, but it certainly feels like Ainge has something up his sleeve. Marks said the BKN 3-way S&T is off, but let's see what else is possible.

Not many top FA left:
Kawhi (Toronto or Clippers)
Butler (Miami or Houston, then Capela would be possible again)
Russell (IMO Lakers bound, they need a PG)
Horford (Clippers or Boston)

Al has certainly kept his mystery team a mystery

What a world NBA players live in where a guy like Khris Middleton is getting 178 million dollars over 5 years.

When the owners make billions what's a few million to the help.

Baseball?

Maybe its because I simply hate baseball but man those salaries

 

[EverettMike]

Good for the players. Get every dime they can for the limited time they can. They are literally the product and the product brings in billions.

Horford to Phila

 

[N o o d l e s]

Idk how Philly makes this work. They just signed Tobias Harris to huge money and Ben Simmons is going to need an extension soon.

 

[JRull86]

Man that sucks. Really thought Danny was going to find a way.

 

[Troublesome 85]

Doesnt make sense for the Sixers IMO

 

[EverettMike]

Hmm....the 76ers......


You know what? f*** Al.

 

[pgm16]

That hurts, going to Phila
