Celtics '20'21 - The Young and the Restless

[The Q]

Zero surprise here.
The only question is how

[The Q]

ham seems interesting to me.

but that is just not a seemingly strong crop

 

[The Q]

So assuming the Celtics don’t do a kemba for another pg trade line Houston and Washington both did with Westbrook…they probably need to look at pgs making around 10m or less who can fit into their trade exception or low enough to dump salary

two guys stand out there for me

delon Wright and monte Morris.

I wouldn’t hate bringing Kelly O back on the mle but I’m not sure if he won’t get more

I also wouldn’t mind gorgui dieng, but part of those are contingent on moving tt in another deal

 

[The Q]

does eveyone not realize billups has one year of coaching experience?

seems like a terrible idea

maybe he’s special. But the odds are certainly against it

 

[The Q]

Sounds line the Celtics are not trying to hire the best coach and cutting off their net of candidates

 

[The Q]

Voters did the Celtics a big favor with Tatum not making all NBA.

saved them about 5 mil next season

that’s almost the entire mle they have available

Laughable, isn't it? Randle over Tatum?

 

[The Q]

it helps the Celtics out so I’ll take it

Sure, but in general I don't know how Randle made the top 15. Ridiculous.

 

[The Q]

Apparently hiring Brad wasn’t the best move

 

[Stakesarehigh]

Kemba and a first for Horford?

Huh?

 

[Yo Tee]

Kemba, a 2021 1st and a 2025 2nd for Horford, Moses Brown and a 2023 2nd? Oof.

Huh?

For Boston: It's about the contracts... specifically, getting rid of Kemba's much worse one.

Unfortunately, Walker didn't work out for the C's... he got old and creaky right after he signed on here... it is time to move on from him, and that's just what Stevens is doing.

It should be noted that the last year of Horford's contract is only partially guaranteed.

 

[Stakesarehigh]

They must really really like Moses Brown

Maybe OKC has incriminating video of Brad Stevens?

 

[shopson67]

Kemba and a first for Horford?

Huh?

Don't forget Moses Brown. In only 21 minutes, he averaged 9/9. I had never heard of him lol, but his stats are respectable and show some promise. He put up 24/18, 3 assists and 7 blocks vs the Clippers in his last game without committing a foul. He should at least be a key rotational player down low next season.

Take a second and look at how awful Kemba's contract is, relative to his output and health:

Kemba Walker NBA Salary - How much is he making?

Kemba Walker NBA Player Salary - How much is he making?

I don't know what y'all expect... Kemba's not an asset at this point, he is a liability... and the C's were gonna have to be the ones bending to unload him.

I mean, way to try to make lemonade out of lemons...but that seems like a lot to give up to move a contract.

It's a really bad contract, relative to what Kemba is at this point.
