So there’s one open 2 way contract left. I like the 2 they’ve signed so far.

There’s a team out there that’s going to get a nice deal with Tyus Jones.

It's why I go after a Kessler Edwards, even if it's a two way contract. Queta could be huge and Stevens signing him long-term was brilliant. Scheierman really matters, like way more than average fans realize. Walsh and Watson could really matter. Springer could be the next defensive monster at guard. Trader Stevens now needs to also add major draft and development program to his resume. While also being trader Stevens. It's why I was so upset at passing on Kevin McCullar Jr, he's an improved 3 point shot away from being a two way force. Not surprising the Knicks traded for him. Now let's hope Watson is a brilliant pick. It's how you keep depth, keep the team together longer and don't end up like the Suns going through different veteran minimum guys every year. Why I'm assuming Watson gets 2-way contract and then a 4 year deal next year. Maximizing cheap control years. Stevens has been brilliant besides not doing that with Walsh. The 3 two way spaces are crazy important and why they moved on from Davison. If you don't see future NBA player to help Celtics, move on to the next guy. I think a big help could be Horford sticking around for years and taking another big paycut. Porzingis might also fit that formula going forward if he keeps getting injured. Players will do a lot of things to keep winning championships. We are going to need that! Buy RJP is 100% right, let's enjoy next year because that is really going to shape our future. Let's also hope our new owner gives us years of paying big taxes in the Honeymoon period after buying the team like the Clippers got. one two way I was talking about them in general and the new CBA giving us an extra one. Nevermind has Watson been signed? I'm assuming that's what happens, but haven't seen anything and I thought the same thing about Walsh last year.

I love the Skill on offense, a pure shooter at all 3 levels with moves to get his shots off. Can pass, seems to play with high Basketball IQ. Great size for a SG, needs to add a bunch of weight if he's going to be a wing. His defense is the concern, if Celtics can improve him like Hauser and frankly others before him. Yeah he'll be an NBA player.

What 76ers don't get is that LeBron style always redo team trying to upgrade doesn't work well. Part of the magic for the Celtics is keeping the team together for years and years more to come with the right fits, not just best talent. I literally am so grateful the 76ers are such a mess and it starts with out of shape and always injured Embiid. Thinking back years ago the way that team was set up was like the Celtics. 2018, great young team, cap space, picks and they just messed it all up because a few years later Leonard hits a crazy shot.
The Knicks are a little better, but I see Bridges more as a White type move and they paid a ring Ransom to get him. Then lost their starting center, which literally undoes a lot of what Bridges adds.
I'm still shocked 76ers took McCain over Knecht. By the time McCain is at his peak years, Embiid won't be anymore. I get best player available long-term, but you also need to maximize Embiid window. I hear worries about Knecht D, but he's one of the best athletes in the draft, heck he's elite by NBA standards. Not just run jump, but also speed and agility. There's absolutely nothing physically stopping him from being a great defender.

I did find that pick slightly odd for that reason. Not to mention as you said that teams window if they even have one is open right now for maybe the next year or two and he's a longer term prospect it seems to me. Embiid is not going to age well.

Yeah Knecht would be hitting big 3’s for them from the get-go. Weird they passed on him

I see Embiid as the ultimate ring chaser when he gets older, he would be a great fit for the C's in about 4 years from now with middle career Tatum and Brown

With 76ers it's most moves they do like drafting Bona in 2nd round and then signing Drummond. I don't like those pairing one bit, especially when Embiid misses a lot of games. Could have drafted Shead, Christie, Ingram, Reeves, McCullar Jr or Freeman. I would have likely taken Shead, they could use a defensive floor general like him that all he does is win.
I just don't see what the GM is trying to do. It's like the exact opposite of the Celtics, yeah maybe you don't always agree, but you always see his plan.

They're a team that's desperately throwing things against a wall and hoping everything sticks because I'm willing to bet if they don't make it out of the 1st round, Embiid is demanding a trade.

Just waived Paul Reed too, who I am interested in at league min lol

Got to say the George move didn't scare me but getting Martin, Gordon and Drummond also has my attention. They will be very tough if they can stay healthy (very big if)

One of the Celtics’ hidden strengths is that their best players stay healthy and play tons of minutes. That isn’t true for Embiid and George. Injury prone guys look great on paper but hard to rely on them when it counts.

The 6ers if they manage a healthy season are a problem but the chances of that are extremely low.

Embiid isn’t in good enough shape to beat us, even if he wasn’t injured

Injury prone guys look great on paper but hard to rely on them when it counts. Even better is the Celtics do have an injury prone super star and it doesn't seem to matter much if he's on the floor or not. When KP is healthy they're nearly unbeatable.

Me too, can’t complain about 2 minimum years for him and retaining bird rights. It’s a no lose deal for the Celtics. If he develops, the timing of his next contract works pretty well timing wise.

Play him hard, he wears down, gets tired and starts taking a ton of Jumpers. Nevermind his defense suffers. Unlike players like Giannis and Jokic.
