Official Boston Celtics thread

[its....JOHN B]

I'm reading multiple sites and boston fans saying butler isn't worth a top 3 pick which is ridiculous.Deron williams and kevin love both got top 3 picks and neither were as good as butler at the time they were traded,d will was a system player and love was one dimensional.

Jimmy a dog I think duke getting undervalued by bos fans his impact on defense alone will make a major difference cuz he can guard 1-3's.Bulls a top 8 defensive team when jimmy is on the floor


Lil zeke a defensive liability, imagine having this cat out there closing games.I think jimmy on boston makes them even with the cavs.Cleveland is not as dominant as miami they just better than the rest of these fugazi east teams.

Most people don't know shit about basketball, there's only a couple on the radio I can listen too, and IT being a defensive liability is a big reason I would want Noel he helps mask his deficiencies, Noel/Al/Jae/Jimmy even with IT that's still a top defense, Noel is only 22 and is an elite defender already and we haven't seen the best of him, he's a hometown kid I think four for 16-18 would get it done, I don't know what it would take to get him though and I don't how much of his injury history is a red light, but of all the realistic options that's my first choice

Majority of our fans overvalue our players Jimmy is worth a lot of assets as long as it isn't the price they asked for last summer I think it was avery, jae, smart, the pick used on brown and the 17 nets pick or something along those lines I'm content with moving anyone for jimmy

Hopefully brad stevens and butler been getting to know each other this weekend.Bulls chapter ended when rose tore his acl (we just didn't know it at the time) and it officially ended when they lost to the cavs in the 2015 playoffs and when thibs got fired.I been ready to blow it up and local reporters said john paxson wants to blow it up he's the dude in charge not gar forman.We'll see what happens

IT and Jimmy were next to each other in the team picture so I'm sure he's trynna recruit like he did with horford last year

I like Terence Jones we probably could get him on the cheap too

He'd help out with the rebounding issue

 

[its....JOHN B]

If we stand pat and no other deal gets done then Gerald Green for Jones makes sense for both teams, they also talking PJ Tucker if that ever comes to fruition Green has a minuscule role on this team when Avery comes back, front court depth is a must and I like how Jones played whenever he got minutes

last time i.t. tweeted this al horford to boston was announced 4-5 hours later.Locally they saying jimmys camp doesn't think he will be traded by thursday haven't heard any speculation besides that.If a move was made by boston it may be pg or somethin else.Brian windhorst said today the Celtics have upped the ante for jimmy tho

 

[its....JOHN B]

That would be some shit if we grab PG without giving up the 2017 pick leaving the possibility of a Butler deal this offseason but I'm wishful thinking

 

[its....JOHN B]

Awwwwwwwww fuck it's Melo

 

[its....JOHN B]

Nevermind people were saying right after that tweet the Celtics started following Melo on IG but they had been following him for a while

 

[BlackAX410]

I think it's butler but I'm refreshing the TL like a mad man

 

[BedStuy]

got damn i hate you stingy muhfuckas

 

[(Nope)]

I don't think Ainge would make that trade unless it was heavily slanted in our favor, and I don't know how that could work. I hate that fucking Mormon, but I don't think Melo is on the radar.

My wish is PG or Jimmy Buckets, anything else will be a disappointment.

We need a big too. Horford is cool, but this deficit of rebounding is killing the C's.

A solid big and a wing like Buckets or PG puts us in contention if we can maintain our depth.

 

[BlackAX410]

After all this talk and barely making a play for boogie we better land someone of significance. With ainge the deals that gets done are the ones that come out of nowhere (IT, rondo deal, Jeff green and Perkins ) so idk what to expect

This aint happening tonight go to bed lls

Zach Lowe said celtics zeroing in on jimmy and pg(pacers not taking calls on pg) bulls are on jimmy but they have to get a deal they like.I do think they will acquire one of them but in june after the lottery.

that's lowe,ric bucher and now windhorst who all have said c's focused on butler.I think Paul George is a legit option too if bird changes his mind.

 

[its....JOHN B]

That Cousins deal had me on edge, I swore I was going to wake up to some fuck shit like a deal for Carmelo

 

[its....JOHN B]

Drummond is the rumor

how plugged is chris mannix in boston?

this jimmy shit sounded dead but mannix was on the radio earlier in the morning and he said that a butler deal to the celtics will go down to the 2:55 deadline and he thinks boston will throw the 2017 brooklyn pick

thats the hang up it seems

danny doesnt want to throw in the 2017 brooklyn pick but mannix is saying he thinks he will on thursday
