2020 Draft

[Tg11]

And as is usually the case when the Celtics don’t turn a highly publicized rumor into a reality, we’re getting a reason why that deal never went through. According to ESPN’s Zach Lowe, the Celtics were never really that high on Turner. Boston apparently didn’t see him as a very big upgrade to their frontcourt, and was even exploring other deals to trade Turner had the deal with Indiana come to fruition. “Talking to people and reading the tea leaves as best I could, it really comes down to the Celtics didn’t want Myles Turner,” Lowe said on The Lowe Post Podcast. “I did hear from some teams around the league that the Celtics have done some preliminary research on what Myles Turner’s trade value would have been to them had they acquired him either in this deal or in a separate deal, and obviously didn’t like what they saw.” 3 days ago – via CBS Boston @ CBS Local

I don't know why we are not going after Myles Turner right now

[CELTICS4LYFE]

Because he’s not that good

[esb]

Magic get Kemba, Langford, Semi

Celtics get Gordon, Fournier

Smart/Teague/PP
Brown/Fournier/Nesmith
Tatum/Nesmith/GWill
Gordon/Theis/GWill
TThomp/RWill/Tacko

OR

So if we signed TT with the non tax MLE, does that prevent us from going over the cap during the season?

[AntiG]

Let’s go! Now we will be in every trade rumor till next year lol

basically Ainge has to hope that Tatum and Brown can talk Giannis into deciding to come here next offseason so we can use the trade exception on him lol

[CELTICS4LYFE]

That’s definitely not happening lol

[Tg11]

Love the fact that our team is playing on Christmas Day again this year

[esb]

How about Lonzo Ball being our new PG??

[esb]

Trade targets:

Buddy Hield
Aaron Gordon
Lonzo Ball
James Wiseman

[Tg11]

I would rather our team go after Aaron Gordon

[AntiG]

How about Lonzo Ball being our new PG??

lol no

[CELTICS4LYFE]

I doubt we bring any of these big players in this season. This is a type of bridge year, get Kemba healthy, let Tatum take over the team, see what we got with all these young guys, stay under the tax line. Prepare for the future

Exactly and we can look towards the 2021 free agency class and see who we want to go after

[CELTICS4LYFE]

In the same breathe I think we will be better than last year also, TT and Teague are HUGE pick ups for us that I think people are underrating because they are the Allstar names they are hoping for

[Tg11]

Hearing Kemba might miss the start of the season because of injury so Teague as our starting PG...I guess I'm okay with that for now
