[Gman]

We should definitely bring back Kornet on the cheap, if possible.

Beyond that... hard to escape the conclusion that Holiday and Zinger gotta go.

If you can get 3 firsts for white you gotta ship him out

2 and it’s harder to say unless you know what you’re getting

White is a super-valuable role player...

... but 3 first rounders seems like a stretch.

I'd agree that we have to consider moving him... that's just where we find ourselves post-Tatum injury.

sorta ironic that Tatum may be the safest amongst the starters …

Please explain to me in classic 5 paragraph essay form why the Celtics shouldn’t torch this roster to the ground

Two words: Payton Pritchard. Reigning 6th man of the year on a hella good contract. Building block #1.

Next move: Amputate Tatum's leg and get him a mechanical jobby to replace it a la what the Winter Soldier has for his arm in the Marvel Universe.

Move #3: Have a surgeon lobotomize out the part of Jaylen Brown's brain that lets him believe he should ever try to dribble drive the ball like Kyrie Irving.

Move #4: Sign Luke Kornet is a cheap 1 or 2 year contract.

Move #5: Draft one of @The Q's steals at pick #29.

-----------

We'll be right back on top.

I’m curious what Kornet gets

Fascinating case

He’s already 30

 

[The Q]

Trading all 3 of jrue zinger and white is the best way to maximize assets for a retool and duck the second apron

Retooling around the guys under 30 makes the most sense
