No really. I thought we had a no politic policy on this board that was implemented specifically because threads the OP has started.

This will be the first time in quite a while that there isn't a "super team" sucking up all the oxygen in the league. Going to be a VERY exciting year.

Tom Caron with the scoop? Surely Eovaldi as our closer will fix everything
Look out! Dmaineah should be posting anytime soon. Think his victory lap will include duck boats? I think it will.

Anyone care to HATE Al Horford as much as everyone hates Kyrie? This is exactly what happened here. I read last night that Horford got the best deal he could, and then went back to the Celtics to see if they would match. They didn't. This isn't in the same stratosphere as Kyrie.

I'm assuming we won't be playing Time Lord 48 minutes a night, but who's left out there?

From Woj on Twitter
"Sources: Boston's showing interest in a 3-team sign-and-trade w/ Kyrie Irving (Nets), Kemba Walker (Celtics) and Terry Rozier (Hornets). Boston wants to create a full MLE and would likely need to surrender at least a first-round pick to Nets. So far, talks are exploratory."

So we're clearing space for max guy, even though none of them will be interested in coming here?
Guess I'm not seeing how Ainge is brilliant for that...

Pick will probably be 25-30 next year, right?

Wouldn't be a draft night without rumors of the Celtics moving up but failing to get it done.

Sorry, but the EC isn't what it was two years ago when a bunch of overachievers got themselves one win away from getting crushed in the Finals. Yes, they'll still be a fun team to watch, but this team was supposed to be opening their window to a championship and it's officially closed now. No amount of "value signings" is going to put this team over the top before Tatum's rookie contract expires.

I’d be interested in blowing the whole thing up. See what kind of draft capital you can get for Tatum and Brown and start again You almost have to. Celtics are too bad of a team to bring in star players to support these guys and they will be too good of a team to land in the lottery themselves. F'ing shame that Danny spent years building up assets just to have it blow up in his face over the last few months.

27m is what I've seen posted on other boards as well. I'm not cap expert so I've just gone off of that.

The Lakers just traded role players (and a crap ton of draft capital) for AD. So yes. The Celtics would have been in the discussion either eay.
I mean, role players might be harsh on Tatum, but he's not a star either. He's a good player, but he won't push a team over the top without an actual star on his team.
I don't think it's all that controversial to say that the window is now closed. Danny stock piled assets for years, drafted players who were perfect players to work alongside stars, but never really got the stars that he needed for a championship.
Now the one star he did trade for is leaving, and he didn't want to mortgage the future on the chance that another star would do the same. It is what it is, but this team won't be sniffing an ECF for a while.

What might it take to get Mike Conley? A sign and trade that will never happen. Can Horford opt out and the Celtics have cap space? I don't know the answer to these questions, but the Celtics don't have cap space at the moment. That much I do know at this point. Still wouldn't be enough for a max.

In a game of stars, we now have a bunch of pretty good role players. Hope everyone likes the second round of the playoffs because that's basically the ceiling of this team for the foreseeable future.

Whatever. My expectations were already so low that it didn't even matter.
So many storylines were just completely forgotten about, and the show completely turned away from what made it great. Just hope GRRM lives long enough for us to see the real ending to the story.

I really don't get the "Memphis pick was a disaster" thing. That pick had like a 45% chance of conveying at 9, and with the Lakers moving up it was all but guaranteed. Conveying at 9 would have been a "disaster".... Them getting the pick at 2? Hell, that might convince them to trade Conley and go full rebuild and they might lose even more games next year.

Why did they take out Sale? He could have had a 20 K game if they had kept him in! I bet you could find an answer to this question if you try really really hard.

The biggest question I want answered is what the the hell is Bran and why do they keep bombarding us with mysterious crap about him without ever revealing anything. Him being on the throne doesn't make sense to me, but that's what Vegas has picked. Yeah, the amount of time they spent on the 3 eyed Raven, just to have it not be explained at all, would be pretty crappy.

So now Jon has to know that not being king because he doesn't want to be isn't an option. He's either going to die or he'll be king. But everything that has happened is partially on him for being so stupid to side with Daenerys. Hopefully he finally saw it, but he's kind of acting dumb and dumber this season. One last episode to deal with her. I get the not trusting her fully, but this quick turn by her is kinda crazy. She just put everything on hold, risked everything to save the people from the walking dead. Then in 1.5 episodes she goes full on crazy and kills like a million people. I wasn't surprised she attacked the Red Keep, yet she then just killed everyone. Heck she was killing her own soldiers. It's kinda crazy to think anyone could see that coming. They really should have spent more time showing her going mad. So I don't blame Jon for acting dumb. He doesn't want to rule and is sick of fighting, but yeah he now has one last fight. Still think Ayra kills her. This was my problem with the episode too. If they had spent the proper time setting up the heel turn, I would have been good with it. Hell, even having her let loose on Varys in a way that made me question her sanity would have been good. But no, she goes from "Breaker of Chains" to "Melter of Innocent Civilians" without any step in between.
