And syndrome wiped out like majority of superheroes, y’all gotta think out these comparisons more lmao

Yeah it’s not like Mike Muscala is on the table

All this and the Pats are back in the Super Bowl too. DAMN I HATE BOSTON.

Brad Stevens understands basketball and team composition at a much higher level than almost every other front office.

Such a well-run organization

Unlike the Lakers

Lakers be like pls somebody take Garbage Vincent and Knecht for your top player lmao

That’s the craziest part tbh. I thought for sure they’d have to trade brown to get under the tax. They got under and still got a player at a position of need. Oh and they’re second in the east. Fucking wild.

Top 5 front offices in the league.

And got under the first tax apron.

That level of asset management and cap maneuvering brings a tear to my eye and I’m not a Celtics fan

If joe doesn’t win COTY this year then he never will, it will be like when Brad lost to dwane casey of all people and was never in contention again because he was just expected to be good every year

They legitimately CANNOT keep getting away with this…..might take a Pistons Renaissance or the Knicks doing the unthinkable to keep them away from being in the finals every other year

If Vuc turns into the defensive player Horford was after 15 years of being a cone on defense I will be very surprised.

expecting Vuc to become Al horford in his 14th season is like Bud asking Bradley Beal to become Jrue Holiday

but with Zu he might have turned him into the second coming of Bill Russell

This is exactly what Zu needs for his career, Joe Mazzulla

Yeah but Vuc isn’t the individual or team defender Al Horford was.

Zero chance Vooch will have the defensive impact Al the pal Horford had

Hahahaha yeah right

We did give up a possible good 2nd round pick this year to clear Anferno off the books and take on less money and create a TPE. The thing I’m interested in is if they can move off of Boucher, Minott or Tillman and bring in a buyout candidate, potentially a guard or wing, who that could be no idea. I don’t know how many more moves we have left. C depth was needed to save us from a Queta, Garza injury. Hauser moves into the Simons role if Vuc starts over Queta or to platoon each other going forward based of matchups.

He doesn’t need to be Al Horford. He could be more similar to Luke Kornet with better rebounding and scoring.

Bro gonna hit like 10 threes in game 7 against ya’ll now smh

Like you never know with these sorts of moves, but Joe does have a pretty solid track record of getting guys to try on defense. I remember what people said about Simons before he got here. Vooch doesn’t have to be great, he just has to hold up

Shit, a Motel is better than a paper clip

Maybe, if the bookings exceed the cost of operation, maintenance, and taxes.

Drive around the countryside and see all of the decrepit abandoned motels that no one will even trade a paper clip for.

Is Simmons bad?

I don’t think so. But he gets us under the 1st apron with a 2nd round pick? Unless it’s a fake pick

In a vacuum, I’m not sure. But with regards to this Celtics team, the role Vucevic will play for them is more valuable to the team than Simons’ role, I believe

Timelord 👁️ 👅 👁️

And they can take back money in a trade when they do want to make another move.

They have all but I rif their picks, a bunch of good young talent. And the best G league system. Recipe for sustainable success.

HORFORD

🫡VUCCI MANE

How is his defence? Haven’t watched him the last season or two.

seems like a shocking pivot in light of them putting a great quarter of the season together recently

I mean, even if that’s the case they can still likely get a better offer than the Celtics package lmao

Exactly. It’s not the worst offer ever and a decent starting point if they wanted to negotiate.

They basically got him for free. Can’t have it all for free.

Its not like boston’s current bigs are insane defenders. Vucevic is still 100% an improvement

Luka Garza isn’t a great defender either. Anfernee Simons wasn’t a good defender before he got to Boston.

Despite that, Joe was able to make them net positive contributors on this team. Vuc shores up our defensive rebounding and spaces the floor at the 5 spot. I’m sure Joe can make him valuable in his role too.

This 100%

Ouble-ouble machine!

Lots of ouble oubles
