Celtics '21'22 - The Jay's Team

[Gman]

For Boston: this trade was pure roster $$$ savings to get under the tax threshold, at the cost of a 2nd round pick and some scraps.

This team needs Derrick white

That’s the move

Looking at our new depth chart... outside shooting is still a problem.

Maybe the only problem, though.

No one listened to me on Garrisom Mathews

They did not need kornet

It was about enough they added him over gafford the first time

This roster doesn’t need another c to begin with

After all the bartering yesterday, 5 roster spots opened up.

3 to 4 of those are gonna be filled by the dregs so we stay below the tax line.

May they never see any meaningful minutes.

Was very happy with that trade. Watched him play his only year at CU. Been a fan of his since he got drafted.

I was surprised, especially due to his age.

But he's almost exactly what this team needs if his shooting regresses to the mean. He's a high 30s catch and shoot 3 guy for his career. And that's what they need him to do.

Move the ball, hit catch and shoot 3s and be one of the best defenders in the league.

 

[The Q]

It is nice to root for the C's to try and win and not fall back into the lottery because there's a wing or two that would've fit this roster perfectly if they could fall into the lottery.

But now, make this damn thing pick 24 lol

I'm still so happy about this.

Luke warm on Theis, but really makes me wonder what they think about Al.

Theis could be the backup C next year.

Great start to the Derrick White era last night...

... especially great seeing the Celtics make winning plays in crunch time against a good team.

Celtics have a nice opportunity to throat punch a disappointing Atlanta team this afternoon... maybe send them into a tailspin...

... the Hawks have seemed to play well vs Boston... I want this one.

Good win.

The C's continue to struggle from the field and 3 pt range... but our defense is giving us a chance to win, and we're playing better when it counts.

Give it time. Guys are shooting below normal levels. Let them regress to the mean
