Who could plausibly get cut before playing a single game in a Celtics jersey.
In case you missed it there was a blockbuster trade involving two max contract guys (at some point in their careers) and a first round pick and naturally SoSH conversation revolves around debating the relative merits of the guy thrown in for salary matching purposes.
I liked the Whiteside comparison. He has a ways to go to be a good positional defender and his offensive use probably tops out at putback and occasional lob guy and maybe setting good screens. Even if he develops a lot to reach that its a pretty limited player in today's NBA. I personally think Kornet is a much better prospect, given his defense is already pretty good and you can definitely imagine the three point shot getting good.
