    Which rookie will have greatest impact next 3 years?

    When rest and injuries are factored in last years top 14 players all played 30+ games and the team as a whole averaged 285 minutes a game (not 240). This is approximately 57 minutes a game per position. I think G. Williams, R. Langford, and C.Edwards can find time if they are deemed worthy.

    POLL: What do with the Celtics' Cap-Space?

    I vote Russell. His timeline is in synch with Tatum/Brown/Smart/Rozier3/Williams3 and the rooks. He has that rare ability to be the best player on the floor (at times) no matter who you are playing. As mentioned he has + size for a point. Add in unlimited range and potential to be an above...

    The 2nd Season - 2019 Playoff Thread

    Curry's effort tonight was impressive. What I think about an individual player means naught, but I tip my cap.

    Anthony Davis: No Loyalty

    Griffin is way too smart to not consider every avenue. AD is great. He is a young two-way player, who is at worst a top seven player in the world. Despite that last sentiment, I believe some people are overestimating what he will return in trade.

    Byerie Irving? Do you want Kyrie back?

    https://www.sportskeeda.com/basketball/kyrie-irving-net-worth I agree that the difference in total amount earned is not insignificant, but will not be the determining factor in deciding where he signs his next contract. The link provided estimates his off-court earnings at 17 million per year.

    2019 Off season -- Add a superstar, or subtract one?

    I agree with absolutely everything you wrote. The Celtics FO is as good as any in the game, they will move forward, with or without #11.

    Byerie Irving? Do you want Kyrie back?

    We must have watched a different game. His defense was abysmal. I never complain about missed shots, sometimes the ball just will not go in the basket, but I always notice effort. Kyrie played like it was a January game against Orlando.

    Byerie Irving? Do you want Kyrie back?

    It looks like Kyrie is following in LeBron's footsteps. When the going gets tough, the weak go somewhere else. I know it is pure speculation, but he showed zero effort tonight.

    Round 2: Celtics vs. Bucks

    I would like to see CBS run a couple of plays early for Tatum. An efficient and locked in on defense JT is a big part of the C's advantage going forward.

    The 2nd Season - 2019 Playoff Thread

    Jokic must have channeled the spirit of Playoff Larry. He has made about 5 incredible passes and a moonshot from behind the board. When he plays with force he is great.

    2019 Draft Megathread

    http://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/26562658/missouri-jontay-porter-enter-nba-draft Jontay reminds me of a less fit, more injury prone, not as likely to marry a 6'2" Miss Universe (@ AmeliaVega) version of Al Horford. I know his injury history, but I would still draft him with the LAC/BOS pick.

    2019 Draft Megathread

    I watched less than 25 minutes of NCAA Men's Basketball this past season, but I thought Zion was the consensus number 1 pick. Is it just part of a misinformation campaign, gross negligence, or are teams concerned with ZW's unique phenotype...

    The media consensus favors Dončić, but the raw numbers are pretty similar. I was so wrong on Trae Young. After his Summer League embarrassment, I thought he would be in Europe before his rookie deal was up. Mea culpa. Here are both players numbers Luka Dončić...

    Celtics in 18-19

    I hope you are still in your "predictions sure to be wrong" mode. I know JB is a little rough around the edges, but next year is his year 23 season. I think given a proper summer and a clear cut role he can make the leap to a 16/5/3 player with good efficiency.

    The ‘18-‘19 Kings/Grizzlies/Clippers: Tracking the Picks

    The C's are in a unique situation because of Anthony Davis. The picks and their commensurate contracts constitute an important portion of the trade package. If the C's get picks 9/13/15/25 a back of the envelope estimate for draft slot salaries is approximately 13 million. That is a big chunk of...
