You just made the NBA finals

Going to lose in the championship just like the Pats.

What a time to be alive

someone had a PB and jelly sandwich for lunch. Hold the PB and the bread.

Very good pickup here for Boston. Monroe will add some needed depth to an already good roster.

 

[cheerupcharlie]

Good solid move.

 

[Rock Strongo]

next up...im hearing lou williams is being dangled in front of danny.

 

[Mecca]

Very good move.

They needed more size and Monroe can add a scoring punch off the bench.

Now, kindly send the Clippers a first round pick for Lou Williams and then punch your ticket to a gentlemen's sweep in the Finals.

Without a healthy, in playoff shape Hayward, you just don't have enough to beat the Warriors or Rockets.

Next year could be a different story.

yup

agreed.

im hearing a 2nd and yabusele (#16 in 2016)

 

[Wamu]

I can only hope the Celtics knock the Cleveland LeBron's outta the playoffs. Get some revenge for last year.

 

[shopson67]

How did Monroe suddenly become relevant? Then again, how did the Celtics get this far with Theis as their only depth at C?

 

[shopson67]

yup

agreed.

Boston doesn't have a 2018 2nd rounder, and I doubt a future 2nd will get it done. Their own 1st rounder will likely be close enough (currently 28th).

Nice pick up for an above average back up center. No more no less. Celtics already mtach up to teams who play small ball but this allows them to muscle well with center based teams

 

[flyerhawk]

Not sure I would call Monroe above average. Seems like teams can't wait to get rid of him.

An 80s style center just doesn't work in the league today.

Fine enough move for Celtics. Modest upgrade for their backup center.

I agree, Monroe is terrible on defense but is a good scorer in the paint.

 

[Gman]

Monroe has always performed well against the Celtics... bludgoened us on the inside.

 

[Hambombs]

I like the signing. Just watch out for the bad defense. Probably will be better under Stevan's thojgh
