Celtics '20'21 - The Young and the Restless

[Gman]

So... Aaron Nesmith had 33 pts in the Summer League game last night.


Dude looking good and hitting some tough shots.

Nesmith was a serious shooter/scorer in college... if he can take a next-step this season it would be a huge boost.

Im fine with it.

they’re still another smart level piece short

Apparently, the C's generated another rather large trade exception while losing Fournier to the Knicks:

C's gain more flexibility in Fournier sign-and-trade with Knicks

Evan Fournier officially joined the Knicks on Tuesday, and it appears the Celtics will get a traded player exception out of the transaction.

Definitely puts the move to get Fournier in a better light

I love this deal...

Robert Williams agrees to four-year, $54M extension with Celtics, per report

Williams has started in just 16 total games for Boston since being drafted in 2018

Only issue is health... which, in fairness, is a real concern with Time Lord. But other than that: RWIII has grown every season and is exactly the type of player to take a calculated chance on.

Very happy GMan with these deals. Team friendly. Solid players. Tradeable contracts. Hope the kid stays healthy

Brad so far has not made any horrible deals.

The kemba trade is maybe a c-

but he’s recovered

Kemba has a bad contract and bad knees...

... tough to spin that straw into gold.

And gave away a pick more valuable than either of their last 2 picks to just dump salary

That salary and those knees needed to be dumped, though.

It is what it is.... it had to be done to move forward.

^ Interesting. Richardson had a down year last year... but he is still a good age and is a legit starting caliber SG at his best... this contract could be a steal.

The Celtics are due for some better success with free agents and trade assets. I hope

Moses is an interesting prospect though. Not all is lost...

Didn't see that, too bad.
