will robie Posted June 24, 2018 Share Posted June 24, 2018 (edited) Robert Williams III is a 2x SEC Defensive Player of the year. An athletic high-level rebounder in his 2 seasons at Texas A&M, he was projected to be drafted in the teens in most mock draft and at 27, it's an excellent value for the Celtics. A "De-andre Jordan/ Clint Capella" type of player, according to most scouting reports. Offensively, he's worst that Marcus Smart but has the potential as a high-flying, shot blocking rim running type of player. Yes, I read that he was projected to be drafted in the top 15 but teams didn't know much about his medical history. Michael Porter, a Tatum and Durant-like player, was projected to be number one but his medical history made him sink to number 14. If he improves his free-throw shooting, he's gonna be a complete center who will take over from Al Horford. Edited June 24, 2018 by will robie 1 Quote Link to comment

will robie Posted June 30, 2018 Share Posted June 30, 2018 I don't want Leonard or James with Boston. Boston is fine without them. The Cs lost Game 7 of the ECF not because of James' and the Cav's superiority but because Brown and Rozier had the worst possible time to have off nights. Quote Link to comment

This core four (and five with another draft pick next year) will strike fear into the hearts of opposing teams as these four will be part of the next Celtic dynasty. Quote Link to comment
Basket Case Posted July 2, 2018 Share Posted July 2, 2018 Since Le Bron went to the West, which team do you think will now be on Boston's way to the Finals? Quote Link to comment
will robie Posted July 2, 2018 Share Posted July 2, 2018 (edited) Since Le Bron went to the West, which team do you think will now be on Boston's way to the Finals?If you're talking which team is a threat, I don't think there's anyone that can seriously threaten the Cs in the East. As long as Simmons does not develop that three-point shot, he will be a limited player whom the Cs can clog the lane on. Embiid can't do it alone. Milwaukee? They need another superstar aside from Ante to run with the Cs. Toronto? Not a chance. Even if James stayed in Cleveland, the Cavs will fall in 5 as currently constructed.

Great insight, on how things are constructed, so next year is Celtics biggest chance to win it all as long as there are no more injuries... As far as the last season goes, Celtics match up well at the Warriors... I still believe Golden State is still the team to beat... But it looks like Celtics may get that banner 18 next year...

If you look at the last two years' match ups with two almost different lineups, the Ws had a difficult time with the Cs. Brad knows how to play them. Quote Link to comment
Basket Case Posted July 3, 2018 Share Posted July 3, 2018 It was reported that De Marcus Cousins had two teams in mind... The Warriors and the Cetics... If De Marcus joined Boston instead, will it solve the Celtics problems that persist every year on the team? Quote Link to comment

Ever since the Cs acquired Hayward and Irving, they didn't need another scorer. A couple of years back, DC was rumored to be someone Ainge wanted but that was when the Cs only had IT as the go-to-guy. They needed another scorer that was why DC was linked to the Cs. By drafting Robert Williams, the Cs solved their long-time problem of finding a shot-blocker. Quote Link to comment
pinpoint015 Posted July 3, 2018 Share Posted July 3, 2018 Do you guys think a Brown-Rozier-Leonard trade is an upgrade? Or better stick to their current roster? Quote Link to comment

dencio Posted July 5, 2018 Share Posted July 5, 2018 Do you guys think a Brown-Rozier-Leonard trade is an upgrade? Or better stick to their current roster? This is a bargain! Kawhi Leonard is a PROVEN top 5 player in the league who's just entering/is in his prime. 2x-DPOY, Finals MVP, 2x-All-NBA 1st team. C'mon, who wouldn't want that for just those 2 players?! Sure there's the risk that Kawhi would still move to LA, but with the Celtics' contender status, much-hyped culture and Stevens' ability, wouldn't that be enough to persuade Kawhi to re-sign? I say pull the trigger ... though the Spurs won't likely accept. Quote Link to comment
will robie Posted July 5, 2018 Share Posted July 5, 2018 (edited) Danny would not risk any of his young guns over someone who already had a serious injury and an apparent attitude problem. Besides, Jaylen had a slightly better sophomore year than Kawhi. Why trade for Kawhi when you alrrady have your own Kawhi in Jaylen? Brown and Tatum are the cornerstones of the future and not just any player. Edited July 5, 2018 by will robie 2 Quote Link to comment
pinpoint015 Posted July 5, 2018 Share Posted July 5, 2018 For me din kasi, stick to the younger players than to trade for a rental. Saka may kasamang picks yung trade so lalong lugi. Let SAS solve their own problem. Quote Link to comment

will robie Posted July 8, 2018 Share Posted July 8, 2018 UPDATE The Celtics reportedly signed Euroleague guard Brad Wanamaker to add depth and versatility to their benchBased on what I saw on this guy, he has a three-point shot and likes to take the ball to the hole. He's an average defender but I think he will be a good defender under Brad. He's also very patient when making decisions since he is a point guard. 1 Quote Link to comment

daphne loves derby Posted July 20, 2018 Share Posted July 20, 2018 How about getting Carmelo Anthony who will be waived by the hawks? Tatum and Brown will come off the bench for superior bench firepower 1st unit:Kyrie - Smart - Melo - Hayward - Big Al (small but fast lineup) 2nd unit:Rozier - Brown - Tatum - Morris - Baynes (the playoff core) Quote Link to comment
