Celtics '19'20 - Turning over a New Clover Leaf

[The Q]

The only move I see besides small bench stuff is a Big name for Hayward.

BTW, is Capela the missing piece? I don't have a good feeling.

i doubt it. But he is the piece to get them past Philly?

maybe

 

[Gman]

they are not on that next tier below.

only kemba is.

Tatum, Brown and Hayward have all stepped it up this season... there is a good argument to be made that they are.

The way Tatum and Brown are playing defense gives them bonus points as 2-way players.

I'd be shocked if Hayward is traded... part of that is I don't see a realistic deal that is worth it out there.

I wouldn't say "missing piece" either.

A good complimentary piece... ?... if healthy, yeah. He's a better Kanter (especially on D).

they need a shooting guard off the bench. is langford still toiling away in maine?

i like this team a lot.

If the Celtics are fully healthy, they have options come playoff time.

Like, for instance... move Hayward to the bench. That solves that problem.

wannamaker last night. man, he's turning into a nice bench find. i also love williams' game. hes like a coach on the floor. always in good position, plays a bit of an old school game.

Boston made several strong offers to Washington for Davis Bertans, but the Wizards wouldn’t budge. Washington remains committed to re-signing Bertans this summer as a stretch-four opposite John Wall and Bradley Beal.

Rock the kid has offense but guessing not enough defense toughness yet to rely on

GMan, I did not expect much and it appears they met my expectations

I think they picked the right guy. Their mistake was not getting him this summer.

additionally, singing French over wood was a terrible mistake

^ "Terrible" seems like an overstatement.

If the C's are healthy, a guy like Poirier never sees the floor... and it's debatable whether Wood would, either.

To me I am not stressed as I think they have enough to beat any team but the Bucks in the east, yes even the heat. But they need to have a defensive answer for Gianni and a big dude like Drummond is the last thing you need. You need a quick foot defender to slow down Gianni's lane runs...……………...and so who could that have been not on the roster and available?

i was actually impressed with his defense. really impressed. his body needs meat. that coems with age and time in the gym.

yeah that's kind of where I was going. kid acts like he knows he is an NBA player, does not panic. He should be a solid player like Grant

or an elite rim protector.

which also probably wasn’t available.

they also needed more 3pt shooting. Hence Bertans.

I'm just happy we're not the Warriors thinking that Andrew Wiggins and his contract are an asset.

my boss and i are in love with grant williams' game.

heinsohn said it best. "he reminds me of old teammates of mine. positionally sound, uses his body right to position for rebounds".

hes also an extension of stevens on the floor, like a coach. you see the way he talks to guys on the floor? its like hes a 7 year vet.

I think a big reason the C's refuse to either give up on or trade Semi Ojeleye is because he has value as a "Giannis Slower Downer"



And, in fairness, Semi has played some ok minutes this year.... shooting 3's at a decent enough clip that he is not a total negative on offense.
