    The Celtics Offseason

    ....and if you are over, you can still split a larger one into smaller ones. Which is useful for the Celtics going forward.

    General Offseason Thread.

    As resident low man on Embiid around here, I'd argue it's really impossible to put Embiid above Tatum, basically just because of games played and minutes...I did the comparison in one of the threads, but even if Embiid was Bill Russell when he played he's out there so much less he can't possibly...

    Let's enjoy memories of the Red Sox of the past 20 years! What were your favorites (team/player/moment/etc)?

    I will never not expect Roberts to be called out. I have to have seen that steal 1000 times and I still expect the next time there’ll be an out signal. Also: I still expect Tony Clark to do something with Foulke’s exhausted 88 MPH fastball at end of game 6. They’ve both been retired 15 years...

    The Celtics Offseason

    Yeah, just to be clear, the new rules actually include a lot more than just salary aggregation limitations...that's my point (no cash in deals, can't carry over TPEs, etc.) I hear your point that splitting a salary into two would likely not be aggregating, and that may be the answer. It had...

    The Celtics Offseason

    That's certainly the case today, and I have not seen reported otherwise for next year other than the speculation early on noted. But do you have a cite for that, or just saying that's your understanding?

    The Celtics Offseason

    Just to check: The question is "Can I, as a second apron team, trade a $12 mil guy for two $6 mil guys" yes? I don't know the answer, just ensuring I have question right in case I run across it! Good question given speculation about Jaylen deals. We all understand that, as a second apron...

    Celtics Trade Timelord, Brogdon, and picks for Jrue Holiday

    I'm not sure about that----Miami can't really deal an asset like TL who might pop (they don't have one, at least not one who is more than a lottery ticket) and Brogdon likely brings another asset beyond the two picks. So it's a little unclear what Miami could offer. I guess if you do two...

    Celtics Trade Timelord, Brogdon, and picks for Jrue Holiday

    I no longer subscribe to ESPN+ ....what did Pelton give it? I have a lot more confidence in him analytically than Harper.

    No, you can't aggregate using the TPE---it's a player at that amount or less only.

    The sample size is surely very limited. His use of Hauser last year is the best evidence, limited as that may be, even over more veteran Grant

    Celtics Trade Timelord, Brogdon, and picks for Jrue Holiday

    I absolutely think one implication of Porzingis/JH being here is Brown is more tradeable than he was in a different roster configuration, as soon as he's eligible to be traded. I don't predict or expect it but see no reason to artificially assume it can't happen or until when (past the trade...

    The Celtics Offseason

    I agree, there is still work to do - which could be guys like Bullock or others who get cut (Spurs/OKC?), development from Brissett, etc., or a deal likely using Grant's TPE. Less likely, imo, is vet buyout market but still possible. They also may see PP filling some of those minutes, which...

    The Celtics Offseason

    Seems like Celtics (and Bucks) are willing to go over second apron and just deciding acquiring the talent is more important than the restrictions, doesn't it? I believe several more teams will make that choice before trade deadline this year, but it does require being willing to pay the tax...

    Tim Wakefield has passed away from brain cancer at 57 (10/1 update)

    That post wasn't in a public spot, though--it was in a private members-only forum on here. Whatever else is wrong with Schilling (and it's a VERY long list, including violating a confidence here) that particular thing was 100% Massarotti being a dishonest asshole, not Schilling.

    Jerome Bettis is still salty

    Maybe if they focused more on improving their performance and less on accusing the other team of cheating the Steelers wouldn't have lost to the Patriots so often? Just a thought for you, Jerome.

    I thought the no-aggregation penalty didn’t come into play until next year..

    Yeah, I think he was trying to say in a couple steps Poole into Jrue---which is a massive upgrade!

    Dame Time heading to Milwaukee

    Just to pile one: the upgrade from Paul to Jrue is larger for GS than just about any team in the league, since adding size/defense and a bit of off-ball ability is worth a ton when you already have Curry. So even if the difference in the abstract between Paul and Holliday is marginal (and, to...
