    On The Clock at #3. Time To Go on Record.

    I surprised myself somewhat in voting for Dunn. It is really a close call for me among 4 players. I have been convinced by others that Bender offers a unique skill-set and, despite his limited playing time this year and his young age, he has a relatively high floor as a good defender who can...

    Bringing Durant to Boston

    I think the likeliest scenario is that Durant is using his 2016 free agency to set up his 2017 free agency. The incentives, both personal and financial, overwhelmingly favor Durant signing a 1+1 deal with OKC, which would align his free agency with that of Westbrook and Ibaka. I fully expect...

    Add Paul George to those Celtics teams and how many more titles do they win? I am a tremendous Brad Stevens fan. I think he has a chance to be the best coach of his generation. I understand and share in the exuberance others feel for the contributions Stevens has already made to turning the...

    Celtics Draft Pick Watch 2016

    Celtics Off-Season Thread

          George Karl is an established, veteran coach and it is hard to imagine that he signed on for a complete rebuild with the Kings. Nevertheless, there have been reports that his relationship with DMC is a "work in progress."...

    Building the next winning team/We can't stay on topic thread

    FWIW, I would really enjoy watching the Celtics draft and develop a truly elite level talent. I think I would enjoy that much more than watching them remain mediocre, make smart trades, and collect assets so that they can (a) trade those assets for an older, elite level talent or (b) develop a...
