Brother same. Same.

I’ve stopped using “best regards” on my work signature for this exact reason.

Glad I wasn’t the only one that read it like that.

LMFAO

thought i was tripping

As a non native speaker, could you tell me what is the issue here?

Nikola “diamond hands” Vucevic

Maybe this Stein fella needs to familiarize himself with the internet before using such words

Nana in heaven watching Vucevic blow a layup.

I think Stein knew exactly what he was doing /s

Read the title and thought to myself, these are the folks commenting as if they are analysts and they cannot properly form a coherent sentence.

Your post should be automatically deleted if you cannot grasps the basics of the english language.

He doesn’t even leave his feet

You guys need a defensive upgrade at center. You guys need to trade for Domantas Sabonis. He’ll fit right in with Boston’s culture!

Is there someone else the Celtics couldve traded for? I feel like they wasted having Simons off the bench.

I don’t think effort is ever something Vucevic has lacked in tbh. But when you’ve got the foot speed of a quadriplegic relative to the rest of the league, it’s hard to do much.

It’s a simple game 😢

I hope doesn’t get it then

Depending on where he goes he might just miss out on it if he’s retiring after next season. He got 23 last year, but part of that was playing on the Bulls.

If he gets it he may be the first to miss the hof then lol

Its ok we have Evan Mobley Mr. 18 n 8 aka Mr. AT&T aka Gucci Chet Holmgren aka The Giannis Package

Exactly. Stein isn’t an ‘insider’ for knowing this. Anybody who watched the Celtics playoff run could’ve told you he was gone.

Not highly.

He is increasingly regarded

Lmaoooo

Well, he just shorted GME so …

He is but unfortunately we were not playing gleaguers over him. Joe felt pretty insistent on playing him when he got back from injury

He seems to always be positioned well in FA for a team to pay him.

For a team with hopes to contend, yes, he’s a third stringer. But there’s plenty of fringe playoff or play-in teams where he could be good as a 2nd Center getting buckets off the bench.

He’ll fit right in with our team

I mean he was just coming back from injury. Before we traded for him he was averaging 16/9/4 shooting 50/37/83. But his defense sucks hard, basically unplayable come playoff time.

The governor of the Celtics saved like 50 million by avoiding the tax

they didn’t really do it for the player lol

I mean yes and no, its honestly more complicated than people think

Was Anfernee really injured or was it a tanking injury? We may never know. If he was injured then this was a fine trade

What will the Celtics use the TPE for? When they traded Kristaps to Atlanta they got a \(22.5 mil TPE. They then absorbed Vuc into that TPE and created a new exception worth \)27.7 mil by sending out Anfernee. Now they could theoretically absorb all of Myles Turner’s $26.6 mil contract into the exception without sending anyone out. If they can make a big swing while keeping JB, this Vuc trade might be fine for the long run

not really, they have cap to sign free agents now.

I mean those guys went from staring down the barrel of the second apron gun to getting under the tax line. That was a great trade for them long term. In hindsight, even without the trade they never would’ve been true contenders on account of their big man rotation, so the only thing they really lost was some pride for blowing the 3-1.

It was a very good trade for Boston. They moved under the luxury tax (thus resetting repeater penalty) and got a massive trade exception. This gives them a ton of flexibility with their future roster construction.

Definition of an empty calories player

As a Celtics fan he’s definitely not staying. He was unplayable down the stretch. We would have been better off signing Kai Jones straight out of turkey

Michael Porter Jr. was a 100% lock to be traded in February according to media.

He was worse than Luka Garza in about every aspect of basketball except maybe defensive rebounding

Have fun with that - he’s washed.

Oh won’t that just be fantastic. Get molested by Embiid and help throw the Sixers series, sign with Miami, and then probably average ²³⁄₁₃ in next year’s first round Celtics-Heat series that will 100% happen because reasons.

That’s Valanciunas i think. Don’t remember Vucevic being in that story.

That was valenciunas
