Wiseman is still one of the most athletic 7 footers in the NBA and his stats are always good when he plays. There's no reason he can't be a better version of Lively here (because he has a little jumper that lively doesn't). He's STILL only 23‼
Boston Globe breaks down the Celtics 2nd tax apron: “Teams that go over the second apron won’t have a taxpayer mid-level exception, commonly used to add veterans at a reasonable cost. They can’t participate in the buyout market during the season. They can’t aggregate salaries in trades. They can’t give cash away in trades. They can’t sign and trade their own players for others. They can’t reach into the future to trade picks seven years away. And if they go over the second apron twice, their first-round pick automatically falls to the end of the draft.”
Stay away from Hayward. I would love to see Nicolas Batum in green in place of O'Shea or Svi. He offers veteran presence, good D and above average 3 point shooting.
We have signed Luke for another year and Queta signed a multi year deal and we currently have 13 players under contract so brad usually leaves one spot open so we only have one more spot open now
My FA vet min list: Bigs: 1. Daniel Theis 2. Dario Saric 3. Mo Bamba Wings (no need for this anymore with anton and baylor drafted IMO: 1. nicolas batum 2. Naji marshall 3. Haywood highsmith 4. Simone fontechio 5. Bol bol 6. Trendon watford 7. Torrey Craig 8. Gordon hayward 9. Robert covington (coming off injury) Among the bigs, i'd pick theis. I'd pass on the wings and focus on developing baylor. There are some wings that can play big though. Among those i'd pick trendon watford. My pick from your list is DT.
@@kaydot8266 yes we dont need any wings. No bol bol's skillset doesnt mean hes a big. Hes just tall. Hes like lauri markannen. He doesnt screen well nor did phoenix assign him to guarding bigs alot. With that said, its irrelevant as Woj just came out with a report that bol bol agreed on a 1Y deal to return to phoenix.
Daniel Theis and Mo Bamba simply aren't good enough players.Theis was benched for Mason Plumlee and didn't play in the postseason. Enough said there. Saric, Drummond and Wiseman are a million times better and are starting quality. Saric has all of Al's skills except rim protection, and Drummond is the best rebounder in the NBA and a beast. He had games of 24 points with 25 rebounds, and a game with 17 points and 26 rebounds with 3 blocks. And most importantly, he gives size to deal with Jokic and Embiid (who he's done very well against). HUGE for a repeat run
@@Daniel_Capital its not about good enough. Its about whats good among whats out there given the celtics system needs (shoot 3s or guard in space) And given the budget (vet min). Those 2 are good enough. You may not just prefer them. Drummond and wiseman are bigs who cant shoot, cant make plays off the short roll ( a luke skill) or guard in space. In that regard, i'd rathrr just re-sign luke and tillman. Rebounding is a need but not #1 on the celtics big skillset priority list. That would be like #4 or 5. We dont need to deal with size down low as the celtics system knows how to destroy post up bigs like embiid when they dont have the passing skills of jokic. We have owned embiid forever and never had a big body center to handle him. Jokic, as seen in the minny series, is handled by length. Not by physical strength. So height, vertical and wingspan is good enough. Dont need a traditional, bulky big like drummond or wiseman who can get played off the floor on the other end. What minny had that the celtics didnt, was the double big setup where kat handled jokic and when jokic got past him there was most length near the rim (gobert) and in the gaps (mcdaniels, edwards). We have the length in the gaps. What we lack is someone to protect the rim once jokic gets past the 1st guy.
Say Hey Allie, your description of Andre Drummond was very funny. As always, thanks for the great commentary. I like Theis. People forget that he gives it absolute hell when he gets in games. I wish they'd give Queta more of a chance.
Hayward makes sense on paper, but he complained about playing time with OKC. He'd probably want assurances, and with Hauser and Baylor in the fold, Hayward would have to be ok with Oshae type minutes potentially. He could get more if he plays well but it's far from guaranteed
Drummond is a local boy who hails from Middletown, CT, 5 miles from when I live, and who played a year at UConn, where I taught for 42 years. It hurts me to say it, but he has never been a winner at any level. I think he’s too slow and too one-dimensional to help the C’s, even in a limited bench role. He does one thing exceptionally well: rebound. I’d rather sign a player like Theis, who does everything pretty well. Not to say that we can afford him.
Jalen Smith is a player I would like to see the Celtics go after if the math will math. Celtics may be able to get the best out of him. Naji Marshall would be a good signing for the Celtics as well for a wing.
Yes he does Celtics are starving for a big enough with these 6’8 guys trying to play center. It is laughable when they are in the game. we just need hold guys until KP get back in December. Celtics have proved Kornet is not the guy they trust.
Since they play switchable defense at best and occasionally drop...Drummond doesn't make sense. Lateral speed is suspect. No perimeter defense. Drop is ineffective. Screens are slow. All he has is rebounding now. Pass. Kornet at least has lateral speed and if you look at the actual data he was a great screener. Actually had perimeter contests resulting in successfully contests. And works in drops. Kornet has been dependable as a 3rd string center.
Don’t need wings with the addition of Baylor Sheriman who will get minutes along with Houser. This guy is gonna win a few 6th man of the year awards in his career
Celtics they dont need additions Re-Sign Luke Kornet and Sam hauser ,playing time for jarett walsh ,give JD Davidson a chance to prove hes potential that`s all with Depth chart : white,holiday,brown,tatum,healthy porzingis pritchard,hauser,walsh,horford,kornet
Drummond can’t move on the wing, he’s slow and takes up space Hayward undoubtedly never full recovered after his injury and it would be better to sign a younger player who is healthy. They just need 10 cardio minutes out of someone who can play good defense.
Kornet is one of the worst players in the league, plenty of players much better out there for the minimum. KP will be out until 2025 and Al is 40, celtics need a starting quality big. Andre Drummond is exactly that. In 2 starts last season, he had 24 points and 25 rebounds in one game, then 2 games later had 17 points, 26 rebounds and 3 blocks. No team serious about winning would bring back Kornet over that, sorry
Andre Drummond, in the finals we really need those boards so I believe we need Andre as he is a put back guy and is a good rebounder with him and Porziņģis I believe we can have the best 5s currently!❤❤ GO CELTICS ☘️☘️☘️
I wish Boston signed any of those free agents, except Drummond! He doesn't defend at all, and he seems to fail on purpose to grab his own rebound and rack up empty stats. He is a fake player.
Champions often take major pay cuts to play a championship team especially older elite veterans. I could definitely see a former all star signing a dirt cheap salary to join a championship team.
Theis is a thing in the past. It's time we stop bringing him up. Hayward on a minimum sounds pretty good but kind of think he has disdain toward Boston.
Hayward is still emotionally dealing with that broken foot. I think he will always be doing that. Drummond is good but is a bricklayer at the free throw line. You have to take him out at crunch time because he will be hacked. This year's Celtics can pretty much do everything well. Drummond would not fit that mold. Plus, he's not been known as the most pleasant teammate. So, yeah. Pass.
@@Ironfangzu what a JOKE Andre Drummond biggest asset is his DEFENSIVE REBOUND & OFFENSIVE REBOUND big help for any championship team besides he sign Philadelphia two-years. If you control a rebound you control a game
Daniel Theis (familiarity, defensive versatility, floor spacing, lob threat) Dario Saric (take oressure off of Al, as KP recovers from surgery) Kyle Anderson (unrealistic, but could provide additional playmaking, defense) Kris Dunn (playmaking off bench, defense) Dalano Banton (low risk, potrntially high reward as a big guard) Killian Hayes (again, low risk, potrntially high reward)
Why does no one ever pull a Tom Brady in basket ball and say you know what I’ll take a pay cut I make enough I’ll take the cut and get me some good supporting players
Spencer Dinwiddie, who played for the minimum with the Lakers but was unhappy with his playing time (they played Gabe Vincent over him because they paid vincent so much money), would be such a huge upgrade over pritchard it would be unfair to the league. 6'6", one of the best passers, averages 14-15 off the bench, and is a DAWG competitor.
Jay Crowder's D-and-3 days seem a long time ago. The few times I've seen him in games since he's been gone from the Celts, he was invisible on the court.
Develop Springer and Tillman. No need to go sign more depth. Develop the depth already in stable. Springer and Tillman are already solid defenders, give them the extra time.

Brad should call James Wiseman, I know there’s some doubters but with the right staff behind him he will be a threat
I would take a league minimum deal on Wiseman. I think he was put in some circumstances where he did not get the proper coaching.
yess
Wiseman's body is so brittle!

@@rs3296 Quit yapping. He played more games than Porzingis.
I like Theis, but I'd say stick with Kornet. After all, he shot 100% on three-pointers last season.
That 1-for-1 is tough😂
We resigned kornet and Queta
Theis was a huge asset and very underrated.
Whoever Brad Stevens brings here , I'll take it In Brad I trust 🍀🏆💍🏆🍀

Boston Celtics NBA Free Agency targets:
- Daniel Theis
- Andre Drummond
- Justin Holiday
- Gordon Hayward
Imagine having Hayward and Hauser😂how we gonna tell the difference
Then we put Tillman and Horford on the floor at the same time as Hauser and Hayward. The absolute confusion lol
Tillman is only 25 lol
Say Hey Allie, your description of Andre Drummond was very funny. As always, thanks for the great commentary.
I like Theis. People forget that he gives it absolute hell when he gets in games.
I wish they'd give Queta more of a chance.
They just re-signed Queta for multi-year deal. They like him. I think they feel like he can be developed into a big piece.
The Celtics should sign Andre Drummond.

HELLLLLL NOOOOOO!!!
I have been saying this
Yes been a rumor for years
Please no bro can't shoot
Hayward makes sense on paper, but he complained about playing time with OKC. He'd probably want assurances, and with Hauser and Baylor in the fold, Hayward would have to be ok with Oshae type minutes potentially. He could get more if he plays well but it's far from guaranteed
I would not mind Trying to bring Luke Kornet back Go Celtics ☘️
They just did. He's back next year. Go Celts!
Hate the Miami Heat? Like this video 👍
What about fellow Latvian Davis Bertans. Maybe Porzingis can convince him to come here on the veterans minimal. He can shoot and he's a seven footer.
I think Daniel Theis will be a better option...if Luke Kornet will leave the team
Luke is re-signed. He's back next year!
DT or AD.
Isaiah Thomas and i will keep repeating myself
AD I wanted him last time he was available for the Celtics and I want him now again big rebounder.
Yes, very elite rebounder. Can't shoot, can't make free throws, and is not the best teammate.
